It's been awhile, I know. I apologize but we're in the midst of five games played within ten days in four different states. Needless to say we've been busy.
Got a nice road win at Northern Illinois on Saturday afternoon to end our three-game slide and now we're back at it again tonight against Western Michigan at home.
And I'm starving.
But we eat our pre-game meal in about a half hour so that's the good news.
I'm going to rewind a bit to yesterday, though, and our 1:30 practice. For the first time in what seems like forever, I was able to sleep in and relax all Sunday morning before practice. After a delicious breakfast (I recommend the Original Pancake House to anyone who hasn't been there) I headed to the gym and was greeted outside the locker room by...
...a group of high school kids dressed in tuxedos and black dresses?
Obviously I was caught a bit off guard, but you never know what they're up to in Alumni Arena so I shrugged it off and went on getting ready for practice until...
...these high school kids began singing. Like angels.
I'm not even joking I thought a CD was playing in the hallway until we opened the door and the heavenly voices of twenty-some adolescents nearly melted our hearts with the sweet sounds of their voices. I don't even remember what song it was that they were singing - something by Billy Joel I think - but whatever it was I almost raked my wallet for a few bucks to throw them for the afternoon entertainment.
Unfortunately I didn't have the opportunity to hear them perform (practice), but I'm sure they sounded just as wonderful in the arena with microphones and the whole deal. And I'm sure their parents took them all for ice cream after the concert.
Oh, how I miss the days.
But back to today. It's time to eat then get a little rest before tonight.
Had to answer a few questions for the media after shoot around, but I don't even remember what I said. They ask some funny questions sometimes so I end up just giving a stock answer - I might've answered two questions the same way. At least he had questions, though. Some guys come in and just tell you a story before they point the microphone at your face.
I mean what am I supposed to say when a reporter goes, "It seems like you guys have been shooting the ball pretty well recently," and then just stares at me?
"Um, yes, yes sir we have?" Please at least ask a question. Please.
But that's neither here nor there. It's game day so I'll see you on the court.
