I have to say this game was pretty awesome. It didn’t matter who we were playing or the fact that I was running on two hours of sleep and a meal and a half in the last 30 hours at game-time, it was just great to be back. I had the good fortune to attend the Final Four in Indianapolis last year. That semifinal game was especially sweet as I am a big University of Michigan fan. Beating a UofM rival was a great feeling (I was similarly excited when we beat Ohio State earlier in the year), a sentiment my friends at MSU didn’t share.
Some of the VCU fans waiting in line next to us.
Nevertheless, the past in the past, we were back to the Final Four again. While waiting in the convention center I realized how sleep deprived and hungry I was, but it didn’t matter. I caught a half hour nap on the concrete floor and had a few snacks, but the excitement of being there, more than anything else, kept me awake and alert. Despite all of that anticipation and waiting, it really didn’t hit me until I was in my seat in the fourth row: We’re back, and this is a big deal.
The view from my seat (minus the tall guy standing in front of me) for the first game.
And like the Bulldogs have done so many times now during my two years at Butler, they pulled through in a big game. Back and forth back and forth only to pull ahead in the closing minutes (I took a video of the crowd reaction when we won, but WordPress isn’t letting me upload it right now, check back later and hopefully I will have it up). As we had driven 17 hours to see some basketball, we decided to stay for most of the UK vs. UConn game. We ended up leaving the game with a few minutes left to beat traffic. We were so exhausted that we went straight back to the hotel and slept till about noon the next day.

I do agree with all the ideas you have presented in your post. They’re very convincing and will definitely work. Still, the posts are too short for starters. Could you please extend them a bit from next time? Thanks for the post.

Thank you for such an interesting article. I’m not sure if you are aware but Google+ has now introduced Business Pages which are like Facebook’s Fan Pages. Just though I’d add my 2 cents.
VCU gave it a good run! I’m still very proud of them! I love that school!
I’d like to be a Bulldog. It seems only right. Now the next situation id transferring credits to be the extra dog on campus. Me cheering for Butler is a plus for the University.
