Go Team

One thing I noticed at last night's basketball game was a certain clientele in the crowd.  The game was played at a local university so one might assume the crowd was young in age.  That was not the case.  Everywhere I looked I noticed groups of older women together- some as old as my very own 79 year-old mother.  Throughout the game snapshots of these groups of ladies would flash on the Jumbotron.  Each and every time their enthusiasm for the game was on full display from their smiles to their Maryland-inspired attire.

At the end of the game Mom and I made our way to the bathroom.  While waiting for my mom to finish up I overheard one of the silver-haired gals laugh.  

"Trying to maneuver through these crowds- I feel like I'm back on the court!"


No doubt my mother was not the only former student athlete second-guessing a few calls last night.
