The Last Growl February 24, 2008

I was never one for sports in high school. Recently I have discovered the joys of men’s basketball. Last night was “The Last Growl.”   Men’s basketball played University of New Hampshire in the lasat home game of the season. It was so intense. Neither team was up by more than 10 points at any time. New Hampshire is really good at 3 pointers. I swear the majority of their points came from 3 point shots. There must have been 15 foul shots. In the end we went into overtime (I had never seen overtime in basketball before!). It was such a close game. I think we spent more time in time-outs during overtime than we did actually playing! I think we won by 5 points, (67-62…?) but I can’t really remember…

The event doubled as a spirit competition between the residence halls for a giant trophy. Obviously, my building (Potomac) won!   The RAC was packed! We started game prep at 4:30. Robyn (my roomie), Damilola, and I went around our hall knocking on doors to get more people to come.  Then we went to the lobby and painted faces and posters. I totally love this stuff. As a building, we walked over to the RAC for a tailgating party/pep rally. 

One random thing I love about basketball games: When the ref makes a call you don’t like, you yell. It’s really stress relieving.   

P.S. Today I learned how to change the font color and insert cool characters like this: ♣  ³ Ü
