Busy morning. Getting tight here. Time drawing near. Writing and re-writing. Wife's coming home from Dallas today. Gotta take my boy to the district Pinewood Derby race. Registration by 1 p.m. Have to be back to watch the Shockers play at 5 p.m. For any non-WSU alum or readers not up on sports, they are playing Louisville.
In Atlanta! My friends and I have fb messaging back and forth: "Final freaking 4!" "Un frickin' believable!" "Wild!"
They're on a Wheaties box and the cover of (damn!) Sports Illustrated. Oh I bought that thing. This may never happen again. It's a keepsake.
So much I want to say, but I gotta get my ass 'outa here. A lot to do, but I'd be remiss not to put something up here before the big game tonight. I do want to say, though, that the Shockers have earned everything they've got. They have worked, sweat, cried, sacrificed -- individually and as a team. They have earned the right to be where they are.
I'll be back. Go shocks!
P.S. Here are some articles from the Eagle. Enclosing an interesting article on former Shocker coach Mark Turgeon who turned the then-faltering Shocker basketball program around in the late '90s and '00s.
