Another beautiful day, it was no April Fool.
Practice was okay, the guys seem to be trying to get out of stuff rather than embracing it to become better tennis players. I guess that it is a difference of ages.
Got out for another hike today. The summer like weather is really great. Hope it doesn’t get cold again, the summer weather is so comforting.
Went to watch the UD game at Pat’s. Stopped and picked up Milano’s subs. I was really surprised, people there still make a provolone sub. I was great. I should have paid more attention to the exact ingredients so I can teach the people at the Beavercreek store how to make it.
Pat was really funny, I was telling him and Teresa about the book OI was listening to and how one of the characters calls his wife, “She who shall not be disobeyed.” I kind of laugh about it because I compare it to the, “he whom shall not be named,” in Harry Potter. Pat looks at em with tis grin and says it wasn’t funny. He was obviously picking on Teresa a little. I really enjoyed the moment.
Before the U.D. game started we were kidding about how if U.D. won we would have to burn couch in the street. Pat laughed and said not this one I guess it was a little pricy. What traditions we remember from our college times.
U.D. really played well in the first half. They looked like they could beat almost any team in the country. The second half North Carolina mad some adjustments and U.D. got a bit tighter, so the game got tight as well. U.D. was able to pull it out and win what might be the last NIT ever. There are some big rumblings that the NCAA will go to 96 teams next year. This most probably would kill the NIT.
Surprisingly, U.D. came out the black uniformes thay had sported for all of their big road wins even though they should have been in white since they were the higher seed.
As I was leaving Pat’s after the game I offered to burn their couch, but there were no takers.
When I got home Judy acted like she knew all about the game. She had received a Dayton Daily News alert about the game.
It was nice UD won, but it was kind of empty.
