march madness is even more than that in our home. when sports are on, mike often dances around the living room shrieking, then minutes later is laying on the floor weeping - i just try to maintain a nice even demeanor so moose can feel safe. but noone could control the emotion when DUKE LOST tonight in an awesome finish when jason williams choked on a free throw with 4 seconds left on the clock.
weirdest reaction of the evening: duke coach mike krzyzewski said "i'm 55 and i need a hip replaced." what does that mean? well, coach, you're out of the ncaa tournament now and you can get right on that.
i'm especially happy that indiana won because coach mike davis is a stutterer. as a speech therapist, i was excited to hear him talking about it in an interview a few days ago. he said that when he replaced satan, i mean, bobby knight at indiana he had to be in lots of press conferences and it was a nightmare because he had to talk in public a lot. he said that often he would feel himself starting to stutter and he just "say something that sounded stupid" so he could get the words out. he's my hero!
oh, and oklahoma won. if anyone cares.
