Walking the Terre Haute Dog

That title. Yes.  I know.  It was a stretch.  But, listen, I like having silly titles.  

Also, when I said "listen" just now, were you hearing that word in my voice, your voice, another voice, your mind's voice?  What is that all about?  Like really, who is talking in your head as you're reading this?  And, who is talking as I'm typing this?  Just something to think about.  I certainly don't have the answer.  

Another trip to Terre Haute, Indiana is in the books.  This was my third time being around the first-class staff of the Indiana State Sycamores.  It's an absolute thrill every time I'm around a college basketball team.  Huge thanks to Brett and everyone for being so welcoming to me yet again.  

This trip flew by and marked the first time I have ever rented a car in Indiana.  Those fans of this blog will know this is the second time I've driven in Indiana.  With that exciting fact out of the way, let me get to the details of this trip.  

I got to do exactly what I wanted to do:
Watch practice, see Shootaround, go to the game, hang out with BC, see Sheldon, talk with coaches and staff, meet new folks, pet a dog.  Pretty complete trip if I may say so myself.  And I just did.  

The game didn't go the Sycamore's way, but, dang is it hard to win at the Division I level.  These ISU coaches work their tails off as do the kids.  It just work out yesterday.  I have no doubt that the pieces are in place there for a good run down the stretch.  

I'm not saying this was just a ho hum trip to Indiana, but what I can say is this:
I had a blast being around great people, talking, connecting and just simply doing life with them.
