Opportunities

Tom Crean
I'm always amazed at the opportunities that arise. Michael being in Bloomington right now as the basketball team is exceeding expectations. Crean has done a wonderful job turning a bankrupt program into something pretty special. This team with all that they have been through, are so much fun to watch succeed this year. Class guys it seems, on and off the court.

Michael is loving it there, the excitement and thrill of watching this program recover has been awesome. Each of the guys he has met have been really good about talking with him, posing for pictures etc. So much fun to watch your kids have opportunities like that. Classy guys all the way around!!

sports

Well it has been too long since I have posted. Not much to say I suppose, or maybe too much to say...
Watched the Colts dismantle the team today. I'm not a Colts fan, but would be a Manning fan, classy guy, great player. I know it's a business, but it's sad to me to see players treated as a commodity. Maybe I'm losing any love I had for pro sports. I have watched a lot of college sports over the last two years since Michael is at IU. Have to say it is hard to watch the pros play for money and be all about the money (not all I know, but too many). The college players play with a passion that is contagious. They give it all especially this time of year.
Watched IU lose to WI today. Have to say WI played an awesome game. Easy when you are passionate about a team, to try to find some reason why the other team cheated, blame the refs, etc. Senior today for WI averages 3 points a game, 3! And today in the Big Ten tourney he scored 30!!  Good game by both teams, WI just played better. Haven't always been able to look at it that way. I got WAY to caught up in wins and losses with my favorite teams. Still do some especially against certain teams, but I'm working on it. Just not worth getting so wound up over things that I can't control, and in all reality mean nothing on the grand scheme of things....
