Every Wednesday at our school is College Day and we are encouraged to wear college shirts. So I started collecting college shirts with which I have some tie...even a tenuous tie. OU, SMU, SNU, UMKC etc.
Last week my son gave me a Purdue shirt because my Grandfather went there. This gift was great but a few days later Purdue distinguished itself by being just the second number one seed to lose to a sixteenth seed in the NCAA Basketball Tournament. Great timing to unveil a new Purdue shirt.
But I wore it anyway today. More in memory of my Grandfather than anything else. Go Boilermakers!
