Butler Advances To NCAA Finals!
David In Indy:
Hey Meryl! Butler won!
Did you watch the game? Talk about close! With all those fouls and missed shots I thought for sure they were going to lose but they pulled it off at the last second. They'll be playing in the final on Monday! :D
Everyone around here is shooting off fireworks. I can hear it right now. You'd think in a city of nearly 2 million, people wouldn't get so worked up over something like this. But hey, this is Indiana! lol
GO DAWGS!!!!

GO DAWGS IS RIGHT!!
Yeehaw! Thanks for starting this thread, David. I could only watch the first part of the game, since the opera I've been working on had its opening night tonight. But I kept checking the computer backstage when I had the chance. After the first act, I came back and the tech director told me the good news. I sang the Butler War Song on the spot!
We'll sing the Butler War Song, we'll give a fighting cry,
We'll fight the Butler battle, Bulldogs ever do or die!
And in the glow of the victory firelight, history cannot deny
To add a page or two for Butler's fighting crew
Beneath the Hoosier sky!!
Everyone thought I was insane, but that's okay. ;D
Can't wait to cheer them on Monday night! 8)

I'll be watching on Monday! You can count on it! 8)
I normally don't pay too much attention to college basketball (I tend to follow the NBA) but I think everyone will be watching on Monday night. :)
The thing is, nobody expected little Butler to make it. And they did! Butler is a big part of our town here. I have lots of memories of Butler - I never attended Butler, but everyone in Indy has gone snow sledding on Butler Hill and watched the fireworks there during the 4th of July - and so people around here are very excited! It's a bit of a Cinderella story. And people tend to root for the underdog, and Butler is certainly the underdog... or is that "underdawg" WOOF! so they will have lots of fan support on Monday night. Let's just hope they win the whole thing! That would be wonderful! :D
Everyone here is excited! People are shooting off fireworks, dancing in the streets....
It's a PARTAY!
Meryl:
Is the final game also to be played in Indy?
PARTAY ON! ;D
