It has been a very exciting day! I must confess that I have been watching the games in my room away from Ron and the big TV in the family room. Why? Because my husband becomes a stark raving lunatic when he watches basketball and that is only amplified when he watches IU play. He screams and yells and jumps up and down. You can take the boy out of Indiana, but you can't take the Hoosier out of the boy!
So, the good news is that IU won their game against VCU and made it to the Sweet 16. The bad news is that they have to play Kentucky in the next game. I don't know whether Ron loves IU more than he hates Kentucky - it's a real toss-up. IU beat Kentucky back in December by 1 point and it was a very happy day here at the Beeson Homestead.
For now, Ron will savor today's victory and count the hours until the next big game on Thursday. Maybe I will find my earplugs so that I can watch the game in the same room with him. I will let you know how it goes.

Gotta love the Hoosier spirit.....been 10 years since we have been able to have this kinda of excitement. These boys have certainly have brought the love back to their program. Crean has taken a major lemon program and turned it into gold. Tell Ron, my throat is sore and horse today from yelling here. So I will be screaming....cheering right along with him at the next game!!
It IS very exciting, isn't it? Wouldn't it be something to have IU return to their glory days? It has been a long time coming...
They're already down to the Sweet Sixteen? Moving right along. I'm waiting for the women's tournament, as I'm a Stanford women's fan.
I like that St. Patrick's outfit on your Facebook badge, young lady.
