I worked nights this week, so I definitely don’t have much else to talk about besides Lady Rocket stuff.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, my Dad and I went up to Eastern Michigan, the grossest place in the world, with Bossman, Alex, and Ron the usher. Eastern is a much different team than they were last year, when they beat us all over the place – in Ypsilanti (one of the worst games ever), in Toledo, in Cleveland…Tavelyn James graduated, and their coach was fired for NCAA violations. <\/p>\n

Eastern did get a new video scoreboard, which is a huge improvement over the burnt-out bulb scoreboard and video-projected-on-a-screen mess they had going on the last few years: <\/p>\n

A fun thing about games at EMU is that the UT fans outnumber the EMU fans. The Lady Rockets are currently ranked #22 in the country for average attendance. UT average attendance is 3,988 so far this year. The average attendance for EMU is 355. <\/p>\n

The Ladies won, I was tired from not sleeping enough during the day, and Bossman was ranting about how terrible we are going to be next year. LIVE IN THE NOW!<\/p>\n

I made a deal with Kim that I would only watch Nicko the cat while they were in New York if she and Jack went to a Lady Rocket game, and today was the day. Jack has turned into a bit of a Nervous Nelly, or perhaps more accurately an Anxious Amos, but he did seem like he enjoyed parts of the game. Here he is with Rocky, in a picture that Rocky himself retweeted(!):<\/p>\n
