For the three of you out there who don't know, I'm 6' 7" (almost exactly 2 meters) tall. And I don't play basketball. Hate it, actually (this may have something to do with the fact that people have been asking me since the age of about 10 if I play basketball, which, really, gets almost as old as the "Hey, you're tall!" line because, clearly, I didn't know that. Thanks for the update. Anyhow...).
So what am I doing right now? Yeah, I'm recording the Minnesota-Xavier game for Cameron. Because, you see, it is a Minnesota team, and we must therefore be excited.
I get this. Really. The other kids in class are excited, and he's all pumped because it's the Gophers, and we live close enough to campus to see the G-wear a lot, and...and.... So, yes, I get it. But basketball? Really? I find it more pointless that golf, to be honest, and less interesting to watch. Hell, I'd rather watch pro-bowling than any random game of hoops.
But I am recording it, and I will likely watch it. And maybe even clap or root or some such along the way. Because anything that can help Cameron relate to other kids in his class is worth doing. And while, for his sake, I hope the Gophers win, I have to admit that it wouldn't break my heart if they lost. One game a year is more than enough for me.
