I do love small town sports enthusiasm. In pretty much any sport, including basketball. I love it when you can practically see the tension in the air, whether it’s a national championship or a cross town rivalry. Yeah, I cry at sports movies, I confess. :)
Me as a little tiny kid, asking my dad, in Pauley Pavilion: “Daddy, I think a sign fell off!” Why did I ask that? Because every year they got a new “sign” (banner) to hang on the wall. And I noticed that one number was missing. (They actually didn’t win one once.) Lol. I just thought they hung new signs each year.
(Been a bit of a dry spell lately...oh but they've come so close!)
