The Final Four Experience




Old Wahoo took Rob and Alex down to the free Final Four practice at Ford Field yesterday, and we had a great time. Julian came over from Grand Valley to go with us, and we met Craig, Clare and Cate when we got into the stadium. 
The place was packed for the MSU practice, with the lower bowl, excluding the end zone seats behind the baskets, completely filled. The funniest part, for me, came when the Spartans ran onto the court. Everyone was on their feet as they started taking layups, and Rob exclaims, "Look at that!" as he points to the cheerleaders performing a stunt. I just shook my head and laughed. Basketball may not be in the cards for him.
It was great, though, and the boys had fun, too. Julian and I saw Dick Vitale signing autographs in the atrium - he was talking to everybody - and we saw another guy decked out in tons of Final Four pins and other paraphernalia.
All in all, a great day.
Note: Had trouble downloading from camera so I just used the camera phone pics, which aren't great. Sorry.
