Hawkeye Pride

Big weekend for the Black and Gold.

Mommy had to go to St. Louis for some doctor thing, so Grandma and Grandpa came down to keep me and Daddy company. Grandpa was ready for a big Hawkeye weekend, so I put on my Hawkeye shirt and Hawkeye hat and was ready to roll.

First, on Friday morning Daddy and I watched the Field Hockey team beat Michigan State in the semi-finals of the Big Ten Tournament on the Big Ten Network. It was awesome. We went nuts and Daddy even let me text Coach Tracey after the game. She was excited.

We went to the volleyball game that night and it was fun as always. Herkey was there, and he was fun. They played the Jump Around song, so I got to jump around in my seat. And when we left it was tied 1-1, so I can only assume they went on to win. It was a bummer to leave early, though. Bedtimes stink.

Then on Saturday, Daddy and Grandpa went to the football game against Penn State while Grandma and I stayed home to watch it on TV. I saw what Penn State did to our volleyball team earlier this year, so I was nervous. But the Hawkeyes came through again and we high fived everybody including my new monkey George.

Then on Sunday, Daddy and I watched the Big Ten Field Hockey Tournament Championship Game. It was even cooler this time because they interviewed my buddy Caroline before the game. I kept saying "Hi Caroline" and waving to her on the TV, but she must not have heard me. She was probably super-focused on the game.

But the Hawks won their THIRD-STRAIGHT Big Ten Tournament and are off to NCAAs. You know, they have never lost a Big Ten Tournament in my life.

I hope that continues until I am old enough to play for them. Rumor has it Coach Tracey, Coach Lisa and Coach Meredith already have a little stick for me. I better go get it soon, cuz if I am going to make the team I gotta practice.
