| | I knew my grandmother liked the Lady Bears, particularly when she sent me Lady Bears' press clippings before I became associated w/ Baylor; while I was still at Howard Payne. But I didn't know how conversant she had become.
I had this conversation yesterday with my 85-year-old grandmother who lives in Waco. It was like being back in my apartment at HPU, talking college basketball with my roommates.
Alan: "I'm sorry to see the Lady Bears lost."
Mammaw: "Yeah, but you know, they played a good game."
A: "No kidding, and everyone on that team was a freshman or a sophomore."
M: "I KNOW!!! They're gonna be good in the next couple of years - every girl on that team is an underclassman except for that girl - oh, that girl, you know...the one who transferred in from Florida?"
A: "Mosby?"
M: "Yeah, Bernice Mosby! And of course, you saw where the Waco paper reported that her mom's house burned down the night before the game?"
A: "Yeah, that was probably a tough game for her."
M: "Yeah, but she did really well - played her heart out."
