A day later, and it still feels like a dream. For the first time in 44 years, my Purdue Boilermakers are going to the Final Four – the first in my lifetime. I know there is a contingent of “hE’s JuSt tAlL!” idiots out there, but watching Zach Edey and company go to work has been awesome, and I hope they reach the championship game.
Something tells me that game – staged on April 8th – might be special if we were to make it. That same day, the state of Indiana will go dark beneath a total solar eclipse you may have heard about. All eyes (safely guarded, I hope) will look up at the moon. A moon whereupon the first and last1 person to walk upon its surface came from the same school – Purdue University.
