BEFORE THE HEAT GOT TURNED UP

Editor's note: this is the unfinished post that was started the day of the campus-wide evacuation. I apologize for an recurring or repeated themes, but it stands as evidence of the scare of Tuesday evening. I wrote this at approximately 5:30pm on Tuesday - and was unable to complete or post it. Thanks to "autosave" its contents were able to be recovered today, two days following its original conception. The incidents described below occurred prior to those discussed in the "Curling" post. Thank you

It was pretty in pink Saturday as we tipped off a mens'/womens' double-header. In support of cancer awareness, we all laced up our shoes with pink laces while the womens' team donned all pink home jerseys for their game.

The crowd delighted us with pink t-shirts creating a "sea" of pink that cheered us to victory against Kent State. It was a nice bit of revenge after they beat us badly at Kent.

Ironically, our pink game was the day before Valentine's Day.

ps: I hope you all had a great Valentine's Day.

Our victory on Saturday afternoon began a great weekend. Now it's time to get back to business as we play Bowling Green tomorrow night.

Meanwhile, the Olympics have begun. While the Winter Olympics might host a more eclectic set of sports, I love the Olympics and have been tuning in as much as I can. It's 2010; I used my DVR and recorded the entire Olympics before they even began. Now I can watch everything - without commercial interruption - anytime I want.

It's like the Jetsons.
