Big Ten Championship game
We love the Big Ten. We love Men's Basketball in the Big Ten. I also love the Buckeyes. It was like the perfect storm over Indianapolis today. The Buckeyes played in the Big Ten Championship against Minnesota (It was supposed to be Purdue, but they blew it yesterday by only scoring about 14 points the whole game and lost to the Gophers). We still have great interest in Minnesota and always like to see them improving, just as long as they don't get better than Purdue again. During the Semifinals yesterday, Jim and I decided it was high time to see a game. We didn't make it up to Mackey, down to Assembly Hall or over to Hinkle Fieldhouse this season so Conseco it was (I LOVE Conseco for games!!!!!)
After church, we got all fired up for the game
Annalise has grown into the next size Cheerleading uniform. I thought I had one for Evie, but no such luck. Evie has also grown out of her Purdue stuff so she has no affiliations at all!
Monster future cheerleader--maybe we can get her to wear a giant hairbow then.
The 2 Buckeyes. I got another chance to wear my buckeye earrings. I also got my hair cut this weekend and it is too short in my opinion, but I guess it will grow.

One of Indiana's favorite sons is an offical icon.
Steve Alford was immortalize with a life size bobble head. What an honor. As an extra bonus, our seating section won some offical bobble heads from our choice of Big Ten schools. We brought home the pride of Indiana (as shown, but much smaller) and a teeny tiny Drew Brees. I think we will have an Indiana shrine and add these to my Indy 500 stuff.
Famous people of normal size, Jim Nantz (the voice of the Masters) and Clark Kellogg (the voice of the obvious) were the CBS commentators. I didn't miss hearing their lively banter until I started wonder what Evan Turner's free throw percentages on the season were (by the way, Aunt Becky, wouldn't it be nice if you named your baby after the Big Ten player of the year? He's pretty awesome.)
Yeah! Tipoff. The game was pretty close well into the second half and then the Buckeyes got on a streak and never looked back. Poor Gophers. In addition to having only 45 fans in attendence, they lost by a large margin. We did have the pleasure of seeing Goldy spin his head around and hearing the world's slowest fight song. We will always be Gophers deep down inside.
Jim was a Gopher on the outside. He was the only one in our section rooting for Minnesota. His teams had it rough this weekend.
Big Ten Champs. Wonder if they can keep this up into the Big Dance. Thanks to Uncle Jay who held down the fort while we were at the game. We missed out on Wii fun and cookie making. The girls had much more fun at home than sitting at a boring basketball game.

Here she is doing her chipmunk impression with Cherry tomatoes in her checks.
And one morning, she had breakfast, Grandpa Taller style. She used 3 bowls, 2 spoons and a cup. I cut her off when she asked for tea with lemon.
