A dream come true

When I went to Transy, I was already a huge UK fan- and we had basketball season tickets.
Then I went to a Transy game. I fell in love. The way that Transy plays is just mesmerizing to me.
So I became a Transy basketball fan. My sophomore year I didnt miss a home game, I picked the UK games that I went to based on the Transy schedule. And then I went and made my own stats sheet and kept the stats for the games. But I even made it to a couple of away games. I drove through 3 states and 3 forms of precipitation to watch that team play. Junior year, I talked to the coach and traveled with the team. Senior year, I was even closer to the team. And I kept wishing that they would get to play UK. My friends and family told me I was crazy and that it would never happen.
It happened, last night.
Now, its sad that it didnt happen during my tenure at Transy, but on the other hand, I wouldnt have gotten to cheer like I did if I had been doing the books.
And man, did I cheer. I had everyone in my section looking at me and then whispering to their friends.
I can only imagine what they were saying about me. But really, honestly, for the first time- I didnt care.
I was not objective in this game. I was body and soul cheering for Transy. And I was proud of the effort that our guys gave.
