Tonight was the first time I've ever had the experience of watching a UNC game (let alone an NCAA tournament game) with Dick and his entire family. (sisters, father, brother-in-law, nieces, nephew, uncles, cousins, and even an old friend from Dick's UNC Graduate days)
Dick's sister hosted a dinner for the entire family to come over to watch the game and visit while Dick and I are in town.
Watching an important UNC game with Dick, just the two of us at our home, is an intense experience in and of itself.
Watching a UNC NCAA game with the entire clan is all that, but to the nth degree.
Even before the UNC game started, we watched back-to-back games all day. They were all pretty close (at least two going into overtime) and exciting.
But when the UNC vs. MSU game came on, that was a whole other thing. Lots of yelling, clapping, knocking on wood, ooohs, ahhs, etc., This game had it all.
In the end, the Tar Heels pulled it out, and were victorious. (Thank goodness!)
I feel like I just survived some kind of crazy initiation into the family!
I took this photo towards the end of the game. It doesn't do the evening justice. The photo makes it look like everyone is just relaxing, watching TV. The truth is, everyone was tense and stressed, holding their breath, anticipating what would happen next!
March Madness with the Craddock/Cohen family.
