The college basketball match-up that I have been waiting to see finally took place this evening as the two teams nearest and dearest to my heart went head to head. It was the Wisconsin Badgers (my Alma Mater) against the Gonzaga Bulldogs (my hometown team). I knew that my allegiance would lie with the Badgers, but I watched with mixed emotions. In the end the Zags came away with a convincing win, which to me was not totally unexpected. I believe that this Gonzaga team is a lot better than a lot of people think, and they are only going to get better as the year goes on. As for the Wisconsin Badgers, they weren't bad, just had a bad night shooting the ball. The problem is that this is a way too common occurance. There were some good things that happened, kids that stepped up, but you have to make some shots if you are going to be a good team. We'll see how that goes throughout the rest of the year. The bottom line, Gonzaga is the better team.
So much for the sports report, now it is time for the weather. It ended up being a cloudy day with very little to get excited about weather-wise. We made it up to 43 degrees this afternoon, and are headed to the low 30s late tonight. Wednesday and Thursday will be mostly cloudy and about the same in terms of temperatures, into the low 40s. Looks like rain will be with us on Friday followed by quiet and cool weather on the tail end of the holiday weekend. There are no big snowstorms out there ready to pounce on us anytime soon so travel should be pretty smooth sailing through much of the long holiday weekend. There probably will be some mountain snow Friday into Saturday.
