or so. It was great to be on spring break. It was a lot of fun. I don't usually go on spring

break because March Madness usually is too busy. But the timing of spring break being a week

later this year actually worked out to allow me to go to Phoenix for the women's final four.

The only games I did not go to Buffalo for the Michigan men's first and second rounds.

I was here with the women at Chrysler Center.

I was in Chicago for the regionals with the men.

I was unable to go to Fort Worth with the women.

That was a little further away.

But then going to the final four for spring break and coming back in time for the men's

national championship game.

It was a whirlwind trip.

Got into Indianapolis at around 1 o'clock, 1245 1 o'clock on Monday and immediately

had things to do.

Went down, picked up my credential, and then spent some time around the, a little bit of

time at the Michigan team hotel, went to spend some time around the a little bit of time at the Michigan

Team Hotel when I spent some time pregame at the alumni association alumni association

tailgate party at the at the hangar which is a bar that is co-owned by well it is owned by

Michigan guys one of them went to Michigan they went to Purdue but they're Michigan guys

huge maize and blue fans and so so I know they were super excited to have Michigan coming to their town for the hangar for the championship and that they were able to host that party because, I mean, they let to host any party during a big event. Of course, it's good for business. but when it's your team? Everything about it, when it's your team, I have been to, I've been going to Final Fours. My dad took me for the first time when I was, when we're back in 1991, we drove from D.C. to Indianapolis to go to the Final Four. That was the first time that I went and just fell in love with the event.
