Be bold; wear gold

You might know that MSU's basketball game against Southeast Missouri State was on ESPN2 yesterday. If not, now you do. So the atmosphere was a bit more energetic than usual. The whole bottom level got free T-shirts and some of us had these foam spirit stick things. (Yes, that's really the best description I've got!) The student was even more jam-packed than usual and people were just wound up. Everything was just louder.

All of that to say, this is how Cate spent the 20 minutes before tip-off and the first part of the game ...


Then she spent some time with Uncle Charles and Aunt Angela -- and one of those foam spirit stick things. At first she wasn't sure ...



But then she caught on. (Who cares that it's upside down!)

Things calmed down for the women's game that followed. Really kind of anti-climatic following the one-point, down-to-the-wire men's game. Cate still entertained herself. This time with the program.
