Baylor Bear Basketball

On the first Saturday of March, we had the awesome privilege to head south to Waco to watch the Baylor Bears take on the Texas Longhorns. Of course, our favorite Baylor Bear went with us . . .

and her little brainwash-ees!!


It was an awesome game with the Bears coming out on top!! If I had blogged anywhere near the time that we actually went, I would remember what the score was!! If my memory is right, it wasn't even really that close!! But it's always fun to see some great college basketball in person!!

After the game, we went down to the floor . . .


. . . and because Scott knew somebody who knew somebody, we were able to go back into the locker room and practice areas and take a little tour. This was our first stop . . . the lockers, complete with little flat screen TV, some kind of fancy computer, and their choice of a Playstation 3 or Xbox 360. The boys were sold at this point. At least 3 of them are planning on going to Baylor to play basketball!! But not to worry, Emily will help us pay for it!!

This was a really cool wall right inside the locker room. It has Coach Drew's favorite verses and represents the values that are important in his program. This guy is the real deal and it was really neat to watch him and learn about how he coaches and how he does life as a Godly man.



The boys also got to meet some of the players . . .

That's Quincy Acy . . . #4


These guys were so nice to sign autographs for anyone. . . such great attitudes!!

This is a Damien James, a bigtime Texas player (that's what they tell me!!) who might be going to the NBA.

And this is Dexter Pitman . . . These boys were TALL!!!

This pained Ms. Estes greatly to see Luke do this!!! :)

All in all, this was a super fun day!! The boys had a great time and the Bears won!!! All good!
