So this fake company I’m CEO of in my grad school class is coming together. We give the final presentation next week, so tonight was the 2nd of two weeks where we did run-throughs for the presentation and our mentor guy critiqued. I asked him last week to really grill us this week and hold nothing back. We met this evening and he put us on the spot a few times, which was good. I don’t know how our prof is going to play his role next week, so I want my team to be prepared as much as possible. We were missing one of our team members though, so we’re going to have to meet during the week this week to get our timing down before next week. I’m really proud of the team though, and I feel good about our presentation next week. I definitely will be glad when it’s over though.
After the meeting, I tuned in to the end of the Clemson/Butler basketball game. I was yelling pretty loud at my laptop, and was on the edge of my chair as the game went back and forth. Clemson had some defensive lapses and was down 5 or 7 with about 3 minutes left. Then they finally changed defenses and buckled down and created opportunities and clawed back into the game. They had the final possession it seemed down 1. I was yelling “get a good shot! drive to the basket!” Then it happened, the PG drove to the basket, missed the shot but got fouled. Two FTs upcoming, for a guy who was up until that point 0-2. He made BOTH free throws. Clemson had the lead with 3 seconds to play. Butler inbounded but Trevor Booker blocked the first shot, then they inbounded again but it got tipped away. It was a HUGE resumé win for the team. Nobody is going to remember that they fought hard in March, only that they won.
