2017 NCAA Tournament
Heard this today at the gym:
There will be 4 Women's NCAA Tournament games being played Friday night at 6:30 PM.
Western vs Florida State.
Notre Dame vs Robert Morris.
Michigan State vs Arizona State.
Creighton vs Toledo.
The Men have 4 networks carrying their games (CBS, TBS, TNT, and Tru-TV). But the Women only have one network--ESPN2. That means that the games will be televised on a regional basis. We can only hope that fans in the Macomb area will get the Western game. But the Chicago area might get the Notre Dame game instead of Western's. The Omaha area will probably get the Creighton game instead of Western's. Etc.
If our game is not being shown on ESPN2 in your area, you can still watch it via ESPN3.com on your computer or laptop or on the Watch ESPN app on your tablet or I-Pad.

If I have nothing but the magical voice of Danny Frey on WRMJ-Beardstown, it will still be a memorable experience.
Ooops, make that WRMS. Sorry for that. I was a Mercer County boy.

Embrace the pace of the race.
Sorry I didn't post much today. The band, cheer squad, and dancers went to Wakulla Springs state park today. Walked around, took a boat ride/tour, saw some birds, alligators, and manatees.
I believe that the basketball team had some practice sessions and interviews today.
We've had quite a few people ask us about who we are and what we're doing. Had one guy who is a Alabama fan but spent time in Eastern Illinois area when he was growing up said he was rooting for us.

Ran into a Western alumnus last night in the hotel lobby who flew down from Chicago for the game. He was on the baseball team in the '70s when they were really good (I think '74 maybe). Talked to him a bit and it turns out that he's worked with my wife's cousin up in Chicago (both are in the sports marketing field).
