        Road wins are ‘especially’ “fun”, while home wins should always be a given.

          My wife and I had just started dating. She got a quick lesson on how crazy I was about Shocker Basketball, especially due to my special circumstances.

          And yes, that year was so totally frustrating. So many missed opportunities that season. We left Arch Madness 24-8, and with the way I felt, you would’ve thought we were 8-24.
