So, my wife and I are hosting a 22 year old Swedish exchange student named Elsa. At dinner last night all she wanted to talk about were the three titles, or as she likes to call them the "Tre Kronor". Elsa did the best she could in her broken English to explain that in Sweden the three crowns on their national flag is called the "Tre Kronor" and that when the baseball team won the Big XII Title it made her feel close to home.
You hear stuff like that and you really sit back and appreciate that we live in a pretty small world and if everyone could win multiple championships in major sports to bring us all together, we'd all be a lot better off. Usually we make Elsa do the dishes when dinner is over, but last night she got to re-watch the game on KstateHd.com.
