We're 0-for-2 when it comes to recent basketball outcomes for our undergraduate alma maters. Nevertheless, we enjoyed Vanderbilt's down-to-the-wire loss to Kentucky on Saturday and Rutgers' failed comeback attempt against Seton Hall on Tuesday thanks to the good company provided by the members of our local alumni clubs.
The Kentucky game watch party was our first local Vanderbilt alumni event. We met some friendly people including one of Erica's former classmates and her husband, who played college basketball with a guy I know from Catonsville.
The Rutgers crowd was filled largely with familiar faces since we've been involved with that club from the start. I attended the group's formation meeting a week after moving to Durham and have served ever since as vice president and webmaster. (Check out our website: http://rutgersclubnc.com/. ) It turns out that one of our neighbors is a fellow Rutgers graduate. He beat me home last night by nearly two minutes according to his own - surely biased - estimate.
