Christina will not appreciate me posting this photo, but it really sums up how exhausted and nervous we were by the time the Cougar men’s basketball team headed into the second overtime against the Huskies this evening. She commented that if someone were just looking at our expressions, they would think she and I were watching a zombie movie. At one point the Huskies’ Ryan Appleby made yet another 3-pointer and Christina yelled, “I hate Appleby!” with so much vitriol that the guy in front of us looked back with alarmed amusement.

The other picture is my brother in between yelling profanities at the court. He caught on with all the cheers quite well and could probably be a future ZZU CRU leader. I have to admit I found all the senior night pageantry kind of touching, and it was neat that so many students did wear ties. I had no clue so many college guys have gray ties.

In other notes, I was pleased to see both Free Throw Mom and Bald Guy up to their usual antics behind the basket. The crowd was pretty wild, and I was impressed by how many students showed up. All those who didn’t stay missed out.
