GO GREEN, GO WHITE

The MSU basketball season was terrific! Who ever thought at the beginning the Spartans would end up so well? These final games have been wonderful: the best was on Saturday when we played UConn. Don's family was here to enjoy our HD big screen TV and their cheers and comments are what made it more fun. We celebrated with chocolate sundaes--at the half when State was 2 points ahead. Dad didn't think they would come out on top at the end so he suggested we have our treat while they were ahead! Philip and Charlie called minutes after the win.

Sunday as the congregation was leaving the sanctuary, the organist played the MSU Fight Song and everyone joined in singing. That was a fun and unexpected departure after worship!

Well, last night didn't go as well. About 10 minutes into the game Philip called and said "Dave, you might as well go to bed!" By halftime Grandpa/ Dad was headed to bed, Charlie called and was surprised Grandpa/Dad was giving up. When we woke up in the morning, Dad checked the web to find out just how badly State lost.

I was glad to read in the newspaper that the students on campus were being good sports and supporting the team with cheers and song in spite of their disappointment.

Basketball will come again. GO STATE Love, Grandma/Mother
