MSU Women's Basketball Game

On January 4, 2008 we went to Michigan State University to watch their women's basketball team play Penn State. The woman who plays center for MSU is 6 feet, 9 inches tall. I'm only 8 inches tall, so it would take a little of 10 of me to equal one of her!

The first picture you see is of Theo, Rod and me in the stands getting ready for the game to start. The second picture was taken during the game. It was action packed. Unfortunately the MSU Spartans lost by 12 points.

There are many famous athletes that played sports at MSU. The most well-known is Earvin "Magic" Johnson. Back in 1979 -- way before any of you were born -- MSU won the men's basketball national tournament. That team was led by Magic. They beat the team from Indiana State that was led by legendary Boston Celtic's player, Larry Bird. That game started a rivalry that would last for over a decade in the NBA as Magic and his Los Angeles Lakers were fierce competitors with the Celtics.

The final picture is a statue of Magic Johnson that is located outside the basketball arena at MSU. If you look really carefully you can see Theo and me at the base of the statue.

That's all for now. I'll write to you again next week.

Love,

Millie & Theo
