Crazy driving

So, as you probably know, UD (Dayton) is in the NCAA tournament. Poor Dayton...they are not picked to do very well. Actually, i watched a video clip this morning from Joe Lunardi (the bracketology guru) and he says that the game vs. West Virginia is going to be an ugly one. He already talks about how WV is going to do in the second round. haha! however, it is the tournament and anything can happen in the tournament. I feel like i felt when Dayton was about to play Pitt last year. Everyone thought it was going to be a blowout and Dayton ended up winning the game. I hope my "gut" is right again. Why, you ask, do i care so much? This leads me to  the title of my blog post.

Yes, I am driving to Minneapolis to watch the team play WV. Fortunately there are two other people going with me to break up the drive. it's an 11 hr drive. We leave after work tomorrow. We should get there around 3am ... yikes. So I really really hope they win because it will be a pretty short trip if not. I was going to try and fly but flights were ridic and with 3 people driving, we'll each only have to drive about 4 hrs. Wish us luck! 

I am most excited for Beth getting to experience this. I remember when my own team got to "dance" and how fun it is. It is fun to see the guys you work with get all excited about it and see how special things are for them. My personal favorite part was having a police escort to the arena. I don't think anything makes you feel more important than that! Anyway, these guys have become her own kids so I know how proud she is of them. I've told her several times that I want to adopt London when he's done with school...he just doesn't know it yet. 

wish us luck and pray for our safety!
