Neither of you perhaps think that I'm too emotional. That's not an accusation I've often faced. True confession is that with "my" sport teams I can be too emotional. Years ago, think Fran Tarkenton days, I was a rabid Vikings fan. Of course this was long before technology allowed fans to replay games. It finally dawned on me that I was seriously over-invested. So, I quit football, cold turkey.
There are still two teams I "own" and in which I get quite invested. They are both women's basketball teams. One is the Lynx, Minnesota's team in the WNBA. They are on break until May. The other is the University Of Minnesota Women's Basketball team. Due to my over-investment, and emotional involvement, typically I stream the replays. That allows me to watch with less emotion. It also has the advantage of allowing instant replays at my pleasure plus the ability to speed through time outs, free throw shootings, etc. The replay takes about half the time as watching live.
So how is Minnesota doing? They were 9-0, in pre-season games, but, against lesser opponents. Now in league play in the Big Ten they are 4-1. They lost to NB and have beaten Penn State, WI, and today, IL. It will be fun to replay today's game when it's posted.
Takk for alt,

PS Yes, Michelene I'm fine, just inert! 😀
