Track and Field Blogs - David Flaugher

Beginning last Friday morning I have done almost nothing but drive and watch basketball.

Good Friday, Emily, Andy and myself drove to Birmingham for the first round NCAA game between UL and Boise State. Nice little 5 hour drive that took 8 hours because of spring break traffic. But the Cards played well and the place was rockin' with fans of the Ville. On the way out of the stadium spontaneous chants of C-A-R-D-S would start amongst the exiting fans.

After an all to short sleep, and a shortish run it was back on the road to the Ville. Not too bad this time, making it in around 6 hours. But being worn out from the activity all I could muster was an evening on the couch watching basketball.

After Easter breakfast it was back in the car with Catie and Andy heading for Birmingham yet again. This time we cut it down to 5:15. Got there in plenty of time to watch Tenn and Butler and here Rocky Top like 5000 times.

Cards played great and you cant imagine the amount of noise. Sat about 6 rows from the floor and got the here Bruce Pearl say "Im scared, I dont want to play those guys".

Then back in the car and headed home at 8 oclock at night. This time we bailed out at Nashville, when the pilot declared an unconditional surrender.

Sometimes its a challenge to be a big fan :)
