March Madness is just around the corner. I don’t follow college basketball very closely and I don’t think Northwestern will get in, so I’ll just pick a team.
It was different in 2005. Illinois kept winning. By the time the whole family was in LA for Miro’s Bar Mitzvah, they were playing in the serious games. As we left for the party, my son-in-law Shelby decided to stay behind to watch the fourth quarter. “I’ll catch up with you later.”
We all clapped and laughed when Shelby, normally a very soft spoken man, came storming into the room: “They won! They won! They were way down and came roaring back!”
Illinois went on to play in the championship game. They lost to North Carolina and haven’t been back since. But Shelby had that moment of pure joy. That’s why we love the "madness" of being a fan.
I remember those LA days!
