I love this. Fun read. I have been on both sides of this as a fan. Went to NBA games with John, who was deeply invested in them, and just enjoyed the atmosphere but was never invested. And been the impassioned Spartan on many occasions. While I never sat courtside at an NBA/NCAA game writing on deadline, I do think of the sportswriters on the sidelines praying for no overtime.
Congrats to Paul, by the way. I know long-suffering. (NFL -- Washington fan. It's bad when the only thing you have to cheer is the ouster of an awful owner.) Glad to see the Big Ten champs in the Final Four. Rooting for them to take it all.
I'm an IU fan and am thoroughly feeling Boiler UP! right now. I grew up close to West Lafayette, even lived there for a short while. My dad went to IU, so I grew up being a Hoosier fan. Good article Bob 😊
I was crying on the outside and balling (see what I did there?) on the inside. I didn’t want to worry our poor mother more than she already was.

This is wonderful. 💜 I felt like I was there. Since Annie is a sophomore @ Purdue I say Boiler Up in Phx! 😁
