Non-Appletonian, Non-Lawrentian, LU sports update! Yes, they do have sports there

Wow, it's been a long time since we've posted, and an even longer time since I've (Bill) posted. I apologize to all our loyal readers. I am going to try and make a commitment to post at least every other week. I'd say every week, but honestly I don't think I'd happen. It's not that I don't have things to say, I do. In fact I have ideas that pop into my head all the time. I say to myself, I need to blog about that, but this usually happens while I'm at work on a Tuesday or Wednesday and after a 12 hour day I just get too lazy and by the next day it too late. The other time I get ideas it's the weekend and I like to keep my weekends as unproductive as possible. Actually that's not true at all, just ask Beth what time I get up and what I do all morning. Anyways enough of my rambling, what's with this March Craziness.

Those of you who are in Appleton know how well Lawrence did this year. For those of you who have moved away from Appleton, but will come back soon, you know you will, Lawrence was the only undefeated men's basketball team in all of the NCAA in any division. Unfortunately they lost last weekend to Illinois Wesleyan the pre-season #1 ranked team. Lawrence made it to the Sweet 16, and it was there third straight appearance in the tournament after, about 100 of not being in the tournament. I'm a little disappointed that didn't make it to the final four, which is always held in Salem VA, because if they did I'd be on my way there tomorrow night. Nevertheless I'm proud of the team, just wish I could have seen one game.
