Dun...dun...dun...The Finals!

Like I was saying, on Tuesday after school/work, Ryan, Meagan, and I drove back to Indianapolis to see Texas A&M take on Notre Dame for the Women's NCAA Championship (cough, cough...shoulda been Baylor).


This game started out with a little more fanfare than Sunday nights', including a very patriotic moment...


The Aggies came out on fire and it wasn't looking like much of a game at all. By half-time though, Notre Dame had come back and made it a lot more interesting. I think even more interesting than the game was watching all the Aggies and trying to explain to Meagan what they meant with all their hand gestures! In fact, at one point, the Aggies found themselves down quite a bit and things weren't looking so good, so I took one for the team and "humped it" along with the rest of the Aggies.


I'm not totally certain but I do believe that this was the turning point and pushed the Aggies over the edge to victory...


In the end, the Aggies won 76-70 and suddenly A&M fans everywhere realized they had a girl's basketball team! I kid, I kid. Seriously, super fun times with great friends. Gig 'em Ags! Until next year, that is.

2011 Final Four in Indy

Somewhere along the way I've sort of lost interest in blogging, but as I was looking through some pictures I realized I never wrote about going to the Women's Final Four with Meagan and Ryan. I did share my sad little story about Baylor not being there, but never finished up with the actual event.

We arrived in Indianapolis on Sunday for the semi-final games a little early so we got to experience "Tourney Town." This was a big convention type thing that had all kinds of activities to help you get the real Final Four experience.

We played some hoops...


We pretended we were on TV...


Then it was time to head to the game.



We were lucky to see two really, really good games. Texas A&M beat out Stanford for a trip to the finals and Notre Dame took down Connecticut. A blow-out game would not have been fun for anyone!

Meagan had school the next day and Ryan had work very early in the morning so they slept while I tried my best to find our way back to Beecher. All I'm going to say is, everything looks the same in the middle of nowhere when it's pitch-black out! We eventually made it home and had a day off before we made the same trek back to Indy on Tuesday for the Finals!
