DU vs. Villanova

Today, DU and Villanova faced off in the first round of the NCAA Lacrosse Championships. This is the farthest that DU Lax has ever gotten and the first time ever this round has been hosted west of Mississippi - it was a really big deal! Not one who usually follows sports, I didn't think I'd be very into the game. But watching other students set up at the grill off/tailgate (and eating some of their food) made me begin to get excited about it!

Sorry and I decided we were going to go watch the game. History was being made, after all! So we showed up... and all the tickets were sold out. We tried to sneak by... and we caught. So we tried to watch from our dorms... the crowds (and trees and ESPN camera people) blocked the view. It seemed as though we would never see the game.

ginger's got school spirit!

LIGHTBULB! What if we went to the fitness center and worked out and got them to play the game on TV? So we headed up to the treadmills... but the fitness center doesn't have ESPN 3. We worked out anyway - yay! - and then headed to a nearby sports bar to eat lunch and watch.

Aaaaaaaaand... VICTORY!!!
Congrats DU Pioneers! We're moving on the next round.
