Walt wanted to give a shout out to the Belmont Bruins for securing their spot in the Big Dance for the second year running. They topped East Tennessee State by an impressive 27 points in the final round of the Atlantic Sun Conference tournament on Saturday. Walt's favorite Bruin, John Langdon, gave him this sweet t-shirt when he was here for Rhodes homecoming last year. I'm guessing that since he's been wearing the shirt for the past several months, he's going to be all, "We've got a good chance in the first round" and "I can't believe that Dicky V gives us no respect." Even though he hasn't watched a single Bruins game -- just jumping on the bandwagon. Some people.
Of course, he had to switch his allegiance from the team that he actually has seen in action (twice) this year after he learned that Murray State lost in the first round of the OVC tournament. He was a bit upset.
But he got over it. No time for tears when you have to get back to practice.
The fadeaway (except with both feet firmly on the ground).
Check out that perfect form on the jumper. Just like Mike Miller, huh Daddy?
Okay, so his freethrows still need a little work.
"Over the back! Foul on Mommy!"
If March Madness brings on two posts in one week, we're so glad it's here!
ReplyDeleteDid you all switch kids?! Kidding Walty, I know how much you love B-ball. Almost as much as I do.I had fun chasing you down the court at the RSEC, in 16 years I will be coming over with Ping Pong to watch you play!
ReplyDeleteLobe you!
Walt,
ReplyDeleteDo you remember what Gram told you when Daddy bought you the Cubs sweatshirt last year? I said that being a Cubs fan builds character and helps you to develop thick skin! The same is true of Murray State fans. We love our Racers...Wait 'til next year (for the Racer's) but THIS IS THE YEAR FOR THE CUBS!!! I'm sorry we won't get to cheer for our teams together this March like we did last year...but you can still cheer for the Wildcats...and Belmont! Gotta love March Madness!!!
