Not a fighting chance

This morning my girls and I woke up early (8:45 on a Saturday is early) and we went and saw the movie Bolt. It was great and in 3D! I paid out my nose for it though (well, I wasn't expecting to pay as much as I did anyway). Oh, well, we kept the glasses! Then we came home and both my girls took up the computers! lol. What am I in for???

Melia was on Noggin...

And Sydney was using my laptop to look up some important Tarheel info....

We missed the game last night. Yes, it is that time of year. The time of year for pure excitement, I assure you! Go Heels!!!! I have never seen a little girl get so involved with a college basketball team! She knows the players, their stats, and their injuries....and sympathizes GREATLY with them. Last year as a Christmas present we went to Chapel Hill, NC where we went to a game on Friday night and the next morning Sydney got to be on the court and shoot baskets with the beloved Tarheel players (Tyler Hansbrough especially!) The coach hosts a time where kids can pass a few balls with the players and even see the practice room. Then they get a chance to get some autographs. We had a great and memorable time and plan to go back this year. College basketball brings out the passion in Sydney to say the least. Last year Tyler had his nose broken right before playoffs! Sydney was devastated (I mean REALLY devastated!)

An injury, by a Duke Blue Devil! (the teams are arch rivals)

He had to play the last few games with a mask, can you imagine??

So I upgrade our tv subscription to get the games (for about 3 months) and our conversations are filled with the plays of the games. Over these past two years I have come to look forward to college basketball. A crash course: Duke (although a world renowned school to study med) is not as great as North Carolina Tarheels when it comes to basketball! Carolina State is nothing to be concerned about, and UNC will make it to the final 4 again this year. The two schools (Duke and UNC) are only miles apart! That's why they are such rivals, I'm sure! I feel like I'm back in high school! Whatever thrills my kid thrills me! Go team!!! LOL! Football for some, basketball for us!
