Men's basketball

I have followed the men's basketball team at GC more than any other sport...mostly because I enjoy basketball more than any other sport. My enjoyment of going to the games has increased in the past two years, as one of my RAs plays on the team and most of the team lives in my building. So instead of just a bunch of guys being out there, it's a bunch of people that I care about out there! The Rissers, my good friends, also really enjoy basketball and go to a lot of the games with me. We have fun watching the game and staying caught up on each others lives at the games. Plus I'm getting to know more of the guys parents and the other regular fans. It's been a blast!

Here's Coach Chupp talking to the guys during a time-out.

Today the Rissers both had plans, so I went down with two of my RAs - Julie and Ashley. We had fun cheering for the guys, despite their loss to IWU. Plus I got to see my niece, Kathy, who is a student at IWU. I visited with her briefly during the game and then I took her, a friend of hers, and my two RAs all out for dinner. It was a fun time hanging out with these wonderful young women!

I had gone over tot he IWU side of the gym to talk to my niece, but she had to play in the pep band during time-outs. The gals I took with me thought it was funny that I was sitting there all by myself.
