Had a strange bit of synchronicity today. Doing some dog-sitting in Chicago this evening for a dear friend, I get a notification on my Meta/FB from Villanova Basketball. It's announcing Jay Wright's Birthday. I leave a HBD wish for him, note how classy he is, and also identify myself as a Marquette fan. About an hour later I'm watching a replay of The 2023 Players Championship on Golf Channel. I get another notification from the same FB post informing me of a "like". Out of nowhere I say to myself, "wouldn't it be great if our players could honor Shaka's birthday this coming Spring, maybe with an NCAA Championship?!"
I only knew his day was in March or April, so as I'm Googling his birth date, I just have this really strong internal feeling Marquette is going to be playing in the Championship game. April 8 comes as the answer. A quick cross-check of the Final Four title game date , and bam 💥....Monday April 8, 2024!!! Happy Birthday Jay Wright! Merry Christmas to all, and may April 8 be a (very) Good Night!!
In a preseason interview, Kam talked about wanting to get Shaka a win on his birthday, so the team is definitely aware ;)

I was at French Lick playing golf in October - got our Warriors at 25-1 at the casino there.

22-1 for me. Hopefully we have some winning tickets.

...And the date of the next Total Solar Eclipse in North America (though not thru Phoenix). Will be witnessing history on many levels that day ;)
