Butler Bulldogs Repeat History

Saturday night, Brad and I witnessed history being repeated in fairytale fashion. Our very own Butler Bulldogs pulled off the semi-final game of the NCAA Final Four to earn a trip to the grand finale of basketball for the second year in a row!

My graduating class at Butler was under one thousand students, so this is a BIG DEAL to my “small town” alma mater, our city, and our great basketball state.

Hinkle Fieldhouse hosted a packed house for a viewing party on campus, and while it wasn’t Houston, the atmosphere couldn’t have been much better…

Especially as the last seconds ticked away, and the reality sunk in that we were headed back for another chance at the National Title.

Pure Magic.

As much as we’d love to be Hoopin’ It Up in Houston for the final game,

We’ll stick to our {at home} bench seats to cheer on our beloved DAWGS.

However, Charles Barkley might soon be out of a job!

    Jen,
    I think Charles Barkley should be out of a job, especially from his comments before the game on Saturday when he said that VCU was a better team and that they were going to beat Butler. Go Dawgs.
