I’ve been wanting to bring my daughter to a VCU game for some time now, but for one reason or another, it just hadn’t happened. Until tonight.
My daughter is three, but is the height of a five year old, so maybe she’s the next Quanitra Hollingsworth, who knows.
That said, all be it early, she currently has about zero interest in doing anything for a living that isn’t being a princess. Chalk that up to gramma, or society, cause she certainly didn’t get it from her parents, but we love it, and we love her, and damn it if she wants to be a princess then I will start saving to get her in whatever that college was that Kate Middleton was enrolled in when she met Prince William.
However, that gives me another 15 years to present her with as many other options as possible, and tonight she got a chance to be inspired by some some new princess, or as she calls them “basketball girls”.
I shot some crummy video of the trip, and it looks like this…
And parents, especially those of young girls like myself, I highly recommend you take your kids to see the women’s hoops team sometime this season. It’s an extremely affordable and family friendly experience with a great chance to see some real role models for your kids.
Oh and by the way, VCU won tonight by 24 points. Their star freshman, Jessica Pellechio scored 30…yes, 30 points! It was the Rams first win of the season.
I like to think a lot of that success had to do with their new good luck charm.



So I took Jude to a VCU women’s basketball game tonight. http://www.vcuramnation.com/2012/11/so-i-took-my-daughter-to-a-vcu-game/
@VCURamNation Saw you filming her while playing with the band. Great game to bring her to and it was just so sweet. #gooddad #VCU
we need to get some fans in those seats! support of VCU is not one gender or one sport, all our athletes should feel the overwhelming sense of pride when walking out onto that court or field and hearing the deafening noise of fans cheering! I think this is a great opportunity for all those business majors, PR, Marketing, Entrepreneurship, F&I (virtually everyone!) to get involved and make an amazing campaign to increase fan support! It could be a portion of their senior projects…why are we still working on campaigns for other companies around town when we have the needs at home?!
btw…awesome that this graduate is introducing his legacy to our wonderful university!
@VCURamNation Wow. There’s no one there. How sad.
Mat,
Don’t sell yourself short. Your “crummy” video skills are pretty good. Nicely done!
Cutest fan ever! Now she wants to be a cheerleader…
