VCU Rams Loses to Butler Bulldogs - You Win Some, You Lose Some

VCU Rams Lose to Butler Bulldogs - You Win Some, You Lose Some

The last few weeks have been amazing here in Richmond. The whole city has been buzzing and it seems everyone is bleeding black and gold. It has been fantastic watching a city come together for one common theme - cheering on our Rams who have brought so much pride to the great city of Richmond.

Last night was a heart breaker. The VCU Rams lost to the Butler Bulldogs with a score of 70 to 62. It was a hard fought fight but in the end only one team could be victorious - you win some, you lose some.

As the final buzzer was blown, the well wishes and congratulatory messages came streaming across Twitter and Facebook. I was proud to be a Richmonder and see so much class being demonstrated even though it wasn't the outcome we had all hoped for.

As I woke up this morning, I was deflated a bit to read about some riots that took place here in our area. It seems some just could not control their emotions and displayed their disappointment in some inappropriate ways. How disappointing that a few had to tarnish the great run we have had. But, I want people to know, this is not a good representation of what we stand for here in Richmond. Most of us stand tall and accept defeat graciously while acknowledging the hard work those kids put in to make it to the Final Four - something that was a FIRST for Richmond.

So, no looking back. Only looking forward with hope to another great year to come with more outstanding results. As Charlie Sheen would say: WINNING!

Ready to be victorious in the Henrico County Real Estate or Richmond Real Estate market? Then contact me, Shannon Milligan at Home Sweet Henrico with Keller Williams Realty, and let me light your way to home sweet home!

VCU in Final Four

VCU in Final Four
I am not one for basketball. Heck, I am not one for many sports outside of Penn State Football and the Steelers. But, VCU fever has caught me! I am jumping on the bandwagon and am excited to cheer my local team to VICTORY!
I am not the only one with VCU fever. Even my family back in Pennsylvania is getting in on the action.(Yeah, I know they are from PA and “should” be cheering for Butler, but I think they are just covering their bases!) I am now receiving texts and emails with requests for me to mail VCU T-shirts. So, today I dropped everything (okay, not everything as I had some marketing to do for a listing) and headed on out to the Short Pump Town Center in search of the coveted memorabilia.
Did I find this precious memento? Nope! Dick's Sporting Goods in the Short Pump Town Center said they should be receiving a shipment of VCU T-shirts sometime tomorrow but could not offer me a time when they would be in. They did say I could order one online, but I am not so sure it would be here in time for the next game and, forget that, I was on a mission. I then headed to Collector’s Heaven which is next to Dillard's. Nope. They are expecting their shipment on Wednesday or Thursday. Virginia Diner? Nope! They are expecting their shipment mid-week as well. (I did end up with a garden flag post and 3 flags, but that is beside the point!)
So, I came up short. But, tomorrow is another day and I will venture downtown to see what I can find. If I find myself empty handed again, at least I know when all the other shipments will be in! (And, now you do as well!  So be sure to get their early to get YOURS!)
VCU’s next game is Saturday, April 2nd at 6:09PM and they will be playing the Butler Bulldogs.
