Tonight is the Final game of the 2008 NCAA Men’s Bas­ket­ball Tour­na­ment.  The Uni­ver­sity of Kansas, where I live (and where I am newly employed!) is play­ing in this game, against the Uni­ver­sity of Mem­phis.  Tip off is at 8:21 pm, our time.  That means the boys will be in bed, and we can watch it live, with the radio guys announc­ing alongside.

I am ter­ri­bly ner­vous.  Our game on Sat­ur­day was awe­some, and fright­en­ing, and shows exactly what our team can do, both good and bad.  We need the good to show up tonight, not the bad.

I am doing what I can to help them.  I am wear­ing a new t-shirt today, but I’ll put the other one on before the game.  That’s the one I’ve worn for each game this Tour­na­ment.  The boys both have new t-shirts they are wear­ing (I think I have yet to see a sin­gle per­son today who is not wear­ing some sort of KU mer­chan­dise).  We have our flag out front (the house came with a flag socket).  I have a new hat (one that fits, yay).

It’s all I can do, except wish them luck.
