Very nice it should be a good time for all (elite eight).
Dona: That is just great. I have been a fan of women's college basketball for years... from even before I taught girls phys ed in Junior High in the late 60's and early 70's. Wow... just seeing that on the screen in front of me... it was a long, long time ago. Whew !
As good as Connecticut is I think we can already safely say they will win the national title!
Tim, The St Joseph community is really getting excited for the Women's Championship and rolling out our enthusiasm, creating a fun week for everyone. The teams interacting with our local shools is really a lot of fun and the kids have a great time. Have a great weekend!
Karen: Physical ed what a great class to have taught, it was always one of my favorites. I am a fan of all our college local sports and this is really a bonus for St Joseph. Where do all the years go? Hope you can catch the game on the news.
Bill, Hmmm.... you just never know as sometimes the team you least expect takes all. There is so much excitement all over town just on having them here. One of the organizations of which I am a member is going to be their local guide, should be a lot of fun just to be with the teams.
I just finished watching today's games. It looks like four out of the final sixteen are from the Big 12!
