Finally......

After many applications, essays, scholarships, and hours spent debating, scheming, visiting, and of course praying, as well as time spent emailing, calling, and visiting with admissions and financial aid officers, I have finally decided on where I will spend the next four years of my life.... (Talk about cutting it down to the wire, the deadline is Monday). My decision will please some of you, and probably disappoint others (sorry Michelle and Joe, it's not Santa Clara), but most importantly it excites me. It's funny how things work out, because what was nearly out of the picture last week is now entirely affordable for me, with some borrowing, of course (though I'm sure the debt will be worth the quality Jesuit education I will obtain... and the exciting basketball games I will witness.) So, if any of you have not yet figured out where I am going, though I can't imagine anyone not figuring it out, I will be heading to Gonzaga in the fall. I am excited to be done with the application process and everthing that goes along with picking a school and I eagerly awaiting becoming a Zag. See ya next fall Lib.

Good choice, Kev. I have my own predjudices, of course, but as long as we have at least one rep from the Roach family at ND at all times from this point forward, I can't be disappointed.

You're bro is fulfilling that roll quite nicely right now, hookin' it up with hot Montanas and whatnot. You're allowed to stick a little closer to home.

Congratulations!

Good choice Kevin. Obviously not the best one, but a good one :)

I know you'll have a lot of fun there! I've got a lot of friends that went there, and they all loved it.

Congrats!

A better choice could not have been made, Kevin. You will love the community at Gonzaga. Ask my dad if he can give you some pointers on college games. He might have a little knowledge... :)
