The headline should have read “From great to greater”.  Every time I think about the Mississippi State women’s basketball performance at the final four last night, I start to cry.  I cried right along with Morgan William last night when she was grabbed by Coach Schaefer.  

I was at the car wash this morning (I only wash my car when we get a big win which means I have the cleanest car on the block these days). A complete stranger started up a conversation about the game and asked if I saw Dak sitting up front in his bulldawg shirt.  The tears started just like they did all those years ago when Dak led us all the way to Number 1 college football team in the nation.

I also finally met my neighbors last night after the game.  Everyone on the block gathered outside for an impromtu pep rally.  I was embarrassed that I’d never met the young men who rent the house across the street.  Now we’re best friends!

I never saw so many big plays in one game just when we needed it most.  The girls were feeding off the energy of each other and what a comeback after last year!  We spanked that U Conn team for their nastiness last year.

Do we have another win to pull up tomorrow when we meet South Carolina for the championship?  My new hero – WIlliam says “Yes.”   I’m  going to be sitting here in my Bulldawg shirt and lucky socks at 5 p.m.. Does anyone know what network?
