Well, my wife is now officially a basketball junkie. She has attended five college basketball games over eight consecutive days… (she’s gorgeous, she’s a great basketball fan, and she loves me… what else is there?). We saw two Dayton Flyer

This is a nice compilation of close calls at various sporting events… [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3L2_Z2V2tg[/youtube]

In a game reminiscent of those spectacular basketball games during the road to the 2007 NCAA tournament, the Raiders beats the Bulldogs of Butler, 69-64.  The seats were nearly full at the Nutt House, and Missy really enjoyed the atmosphere. 

It’s fairly unusual for a basketball team to be out-rebounded 31 to 22 and still win the game (the top rebounder for WSU was the point guard), but the Raiders figured that they could shoot 45% from the 3-pt line

This is pretty exciting action for a soccer game…  How many times can you hit the goal post? [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dV8ozxliySQ[/youtube]

It’s been a fun five days with both sons at home.  We’ve gone to see the Raiders, Flyers, and Gems: Tue – Hockey, Wed-Basketball, Thu-Basketball, Fri-Movie, Sat-Basketball/Hockey (two sports in one day!).  We visited UD Arena, Nutter Center, Hara Arena,

We went to the Gems hockey game Tuesday night and watched a great 4-3 comeback win…  Wednesday night we went to the Flyers basketball game and watched the Dayton team win convincingly

I went with my buddy, Chris, to the Wright State Raiders basketball game against the Air Force Academy.  The Raiders looked impressive in their 76-61 victory.

They like to say “a win is a win”, but I’ve seen better basketball at the local rec center in a pick-up game…  I went to the game last night with my buddy, Alan, and we watched the Dayton Flyers eek

It was a day filled with sports, but Len and I made it for the second half of the Gems hockey game.  He enjoyed the popcorn, nachos… and the hockey.
