3-0 win on Sunday December 7 makes The Mighty Toros the 2008 NCAA champs! Most of the Flanagans watched at Pat and Mike's with mom hiding in the back of the house until the score got to 3-0 and she felt it was safe to watch. Dad never moved from in front of the big screen.
I was in contact with Julie throughout the game via text, we took a picture of all of us in front of the TV and sent it to Julie via cell phone during half time. Maureen in San Francisco, Jonathon in Baltimore and Elle in Pasadena were kept up to date after every goal.
We saw Cade and Jack several times on TV but Cas' exact whereabouts are still a mystery. Joe gave a wonderful interview after the game dedicating the game to J.T., a previous player of Joe's who passed away suddenly and unexpectedly just a few months ago.
Julie is officially the stud of the family; she flew with all four kids on Friday morning for the game against Tampa on Friday night and flew home ahead of Joe early this morning. Did I mention with all four kids? Did I mention alone? With connections? Rumor has it she arrived home earlier today with all four kids but visual confirmation that they are HER kids has not happened.
She'll be back to the airport tonight along with mom and dad, Theresa and girls and Pat to greet Joe and the team coming off the plane.
It was a great weekend that even UCLA's loss couldn't ruin.
Here's a link to the highlights of Friday nights 3-2 win against Tampa. Would love to know who posted on YouTube, Joe and dad would love to see the full game.
