Day 1,484, Quasi-Quarantine: Hitting The Bricks To Soak Up That Final Four Fever



We decided to hit NC State on Saturday to soak up the vibe around campus in advance of the Pack's momentous Final Four matchup with Purdue.


From lunch at the legendary Player's Retreat to visiting the statues outside of Reynolds Coliseum (nice work on the new "Skywalker" art!) to walking the Free Expression Tunnel to navigating the throngs inside the Student Store, the excitement was palpable.


Of course, the Wolfpack hit the wall against the Boilermakers, playing incredible defense but suffering seemingly a million rim--outs in a 13-point loss. While the outcome wasn't what anyone wanted, experiencing nine wins in 20 days and witnessing this incredible, improbable run with my son was unbelievably rewarding.

Go Pack. Let's not wait another 37 years.
