I woke up this morning still feeling the euphoria over Mekhi's triumph. Then I learned from Will's article that there was whipped cream and a cherry on top...Lewis was also tournament MVP! How many times can you say "unbelievable!" I thought that ugly blue haired Penn State monstor would snatch it from our rightful owner and so I went to bed still unaware.

Hokies, I, like many of you, said a little prayer before Mekhi's match. I don't believe God has preferences for who wins or loses. Thousands in the stadium are praying against each other for their man or woman or team to win. I believe God just wants everyone's hearts. So I just pray the contestants will play their best, and no one gets hurt. I believe Mekhi had some inner strength that overcame that compromising moment when the PSU guy by all rights should have taken Lewis down. So this morning I am euphoric, but also thankful.

Congratulations, Mekhi. Hokie nation, and God, loves you.
