The Flyers beat the WVU Mountaineers during the first round of the NCAA tournament on Friday. But we're guessing you heard our cheering and figured that out already! Eric took a half day off work so he could watch the game, and Kim and her coworkers gathered to watch the game at the office. Given the unpredictableness of this team, we weren't getting our hopes up, but this is one game that definitely did not disappoint! The team played with a great energy, and there were dunks galore. And when all was said and done, we won our first NCAA tournament game in 19 years. Great feeling!
The madness continued on Saturday night as we went to a surprise birthday party for our friend Katie, where we celebrated and kept tabs on all the evening basketball games.
Today we met our friends Julia and Tony at a local sports bar to watch our Flyers take on the Kansas Jayhawks in the second round of the tournament. While we played great defense, we could not hit a bucket (seriously, there was a force field around the hoop. NOTHING went in), so we ended up losing pretty handily. It was really fun to watch the game on the big screen with lots of other Flyer fans though - the entire place would erupt with cheers on a big play. While we were sad to lose, we couldn't be too upset...all in all, it was a great year!
And in non-basketball news, someone turned old this week. In celebration, we went to the Oakwood Club, a fancy steak/seafood place, for dinner. The food was quite tasty, and it was nice to have a relaxing evening. As for Eric's favorite birthday gift: homemade fruity marshmellow Krispies.
