The magic is back!!!...finally!

This Aggie Basketball season was rough. Six of our best players graduated last year. Jardine broke his foot during the SUU and later had to have surgery on it ending his basketball career. The magic of the Spectrum decreased drastically. Cheers were changed. The student section would not get filled. Aggie Basketball was not the same...until last night. The place was packed. The cheers we know and love were back. The first half of the game was rough. We were getting slaughtered, but during halftime, Stew did his job and the boys came back all fired up and came out with a win, beating Idaho by 17 points. It was incredible.

Yes, Wild Bill did dress up for a couple games this year, even though he is retired.

I realized before the game started that I will not experience the magic of the Spectrum for over two and a half years. I got really sad. But what made me really sad was.....
Doesn't that just make you want to cry? I turned to Cami, and she said, "I just got chills and that never happens." ... I have to admit my eyes did water up a little. It was senior night and he couldn't play. During the entire last minute of the game, the crowd chanted, "we want Brady!" We just wanted him to walk out onto the court with his crutches and shoot a basket. But the buzzer went off before our wishes came true.
Last picture in the Spectrum for two and a half year.. sad day.
After the game, Cami and I went on a date to Cafe Sabor. When we were walking out, we had the honor of being in the presence of the Grim family.. Morgan held the door open for us on the way out. We regret being in so much awe that we didn't get his autograph or picture.
