So what did y’all do last night?
Me?
I just started innocently watching Aggie basketball on my couch at 7:00 p.m. and ended up hyperventilating and feeling like my heart was going to beat right out of my chest about two hours later.
Apparently that’s how you come back from a twelve point deficit in 31.1 seconds. I had no idea that was even possible until last night.
And I believe this best sums up my feelings about it.
I have experienced a lot of Aggie sports highs and a lot of Aggie sports lows, but this has to rank right up there at the top of the high list. Just unbelievable.
But my hat is off to Northern Iowa. They played their guts out and showed so much heart and class after the game was over even though it had to be devastating. Man, March Madness is crazy.
In other good sports news, Caroline played in a 3 v 3 soccer tournament this weekend and her team won first place. The final game came down to overtime and penalty kicks before her team cinched the win.
So what I’m saying is it was a gloriously fun weekend for all the sports here at the Shankle house, even though I have a few more gray hairs and probably lost five years off my life from the stress. But it all kind of helps take some of the sting away from Spring Break being over and the real world coming for us.
Hope you all had a great weekend!
