A Heartfelt Letter

Dear Baylor Basketball Teams,


Our entire family enjoyed your last-second wins last night. We absolutely could not be more thrilled for the men to advance to the first NIT Final Four in school history. The Lady Bears' gutsy comeback against a streetball-playing South Dakota team was a joy to us as well.

We only suffered minor heart attacks in the process and are making a nice recovery this morning. Of course, victory is sweet so we could have some long-term damage that's not evident yet. I must admit we're not all that concerned about it because advancing to the Sweet 16 and NIT Final Four are really worth it. 

Wonder what that ugly reporter in Oklahoma has to say about Scott Drew now? Looks to me like his team is still playing while those who are supposedly so much better coached have fallen by the wayside. Coincidence? I think not. 

Scott - we think your accomplishments speak loud and clear and that others just don't know how to deal with Baylor being a strong competitor. Kudos to you and your team!

Kim - I find it stinkin' hilarious that the first coach I've ever seen rip off her clothes in frustration (which was more than justifiable, by the way - those refs were terrible) on television was from a Baptist university. Anyone else find that a little ironic? I'm SO just kidding because everyone knows I love, love, love that Louisiana lady.

So go forth and whip some tail, Bears and Lady Bears. We're not absolutely certain how much more our hearts can take but we're willing to chance it. Sic 'em all the way to the championship games - we couldn't be more proud!

Sincerely,
Dave, Casi & Taylor
Bo, Prissy & Perkie too 
(after all, they have to listen to us scream at the television, rub their heads for good luck and slip temporarily into a rather unsportsmanlike state at time...don't worry, it doesn't last long and we feel really bad afterwards)
