Basketball 08-09

I'm not into the whole, worshipping college and professional basketball teams. It just isn't my thing. I don't know any of the players, and there is no professional team anywhere near the city of Cedar Rapids. I could watch the main colleges, like University of Iowa or Iowa State, but where's my motivation? It doesn't interest me to sit around watching guys play really really good basketball. I don't know, it's just how I feel.

But I do like going to my school sports games. I love going to the football games; spending time with my friends and watching the guys I know rough around and play some football. Same goes for our basketball team. Now that I'm older, I know pretty much every guy on the team, and going to the game is supporting to my friends. I actually know who I'm cheering for, and actually want the team to win, because it is my school.

By the time I get into college, I'm sure my feelings toward college sporting events will change. I'll probably want to go to more football and basketball games, because eventually I will know those guys and girls participating in the sport.

This year, our boys basketball team is having a really successful season so far. Our sophmore team is 6-0, and improving with every game they play. The varsity team is doing well too, but I'm not sure what their record is. Basketball games are not only times to hang out with your friends outside of the classroom, but also a good way to show support for your school and friends.
