Joe and I love the basketball season! We long for the college basketball season to start and then just live for the month of March when our lives and conversations surround everything basketball! It's total madness :)
This year Jack got the chance to enter the bracket challenge and Joe helped him fill out his bracket! Whichever hand he reached for first was the team Joe wrote down (too many Cheerios later the bracket was complete!)
Jack has been a Xavier season ticket holder since he was 7 weeks old. This season was his second season attending games and he got more into it! He calls basketball "baball" and constantly points out any basketball, picture of a basketball, basketball hoop or our tv and yells "BABALL"! We just love it! In the last few months we have even noticed anytime he sees the letter "X" or we wear Xavier apparel that he points and yells "baball" - the boy is trained Very very well!
Joe, Dave, Bill, Jack and Henry spent today (the first Thursday of the tournament) at our house eating pizza and watching basketball all day while the ladies went to work! This is a tradition they have had for a few years and one that I see continueing for a long time! I hope it's a tradition Jack will look forward to each year!
GO XAVIER!!
