march madness

If there are any die hard gonzaga fans out there you are going to love my post. Some of the first and second round games of march madness are in Portland and Wednesday was practice day for all of the teams. Weston and I went and we were able to see Washington, Gonzaga and Illinois practice. It was a lot of fun. The media was all over the place. It was the most fun thing about it. People were being interviewed by all of the news stations all over the place. When Gonzaga was practicing we were in the second row and there was a row of little boys right in front of us. The whole team came over to do autographs so we were swarmed by little kids and the media all came swarming over too. Haylee loves going to sporting events so she had a lot of fun. I'm going with Pitt but I have to say I'm rooting on Washington and Gonzaga now because it was fun to be a part of their practices. Washington was just doing fun dunks the whole time for the crowd and gonzaga was all about the fans. I can't wait for the tourney tommorow!!

I am jelous I didn't get to go. Ryker ended getting tickets from his friend yesterday and was able to go to 3 games. Ya, I am a little hostile about it. He still wants to try to scalp some for tomorrow. I just don't want to pay a shmuck load for them.

How fun! I thought about all my peeps in Portland when I knew a round was being played there. That's awesome you got to go to a practice! Did you make it to some games too? Love it. A contest has been offered Chris to go to the Final Four Championship game! Holy tolito. I hope he wins. I hope Haylee wants to be a little baller someday! :)
