This weekend I got to go to the 1st round of the women's NCAA tournament, in Tennessee home of my favorite basketball coach. The game was great the Lady Vols won 75-42, the seats were great too: mid-court 11 rows up. Company was good: my mom, peanut, mary ann, shirley, brad, elizabeth and jason. All big hoops fans. During the second half I went with Shirley to try and get right behind the Tennessee bench to take some pictures - and we did! Nobody even asked for our tickets or anything. I took lots of time out pictures. I was so close to the bench I could hear what Pat Summitt was telling her players, I don't really remember what she said because I was so excited I was shaking. I posted a few pictures for you readers to see. It was a great weekend. I almost forgot I did see myself on TV during the ESPN highlights!!!

a timeout huddle, I heard her coaching them so awesome
I am pretty sure she is waving at me and saying "thanks maasen for driving down to watch the game. Maybe next year we can have some dinner together and talk strategy."
