The View from Below

So far, the best thing to happen to me from Twitter is getting a great seat at the Wichita game last weekend, courtesy of Kelly Thomas, the SI Home Tours guy, who attended with his wife Trina, both sporting Saluki dawg ears.

Although we had great seats, I took a stroll around the floor to snap some pics from different angles, like <-- this one. Great game, too. SIU's 72-68 victory over Wichita assures them 5th place in MVC Tourney next weekend.

Meanwhile, today is the ground-breaking for Saluki Way -- at 2 p.m. ... Many details about the project are on the SIU Athletics web site, including video.

I'll try to be there and shoot some pics.
