Awesome that she will have a chance to make it. That really will be the trip of a lifetime for her.

I would be scared of Doke and Silvio. Going to have more to play for than anyone else on the court. Doke may break a backboard lol.

Could cause them to be too amped. Delicate situation for coach.

@Fightsongwriter I worry about that less with post players than guards.

I hope Doke and and Silvio each posterize someone on Saturday night!

I hear the French airline is striking. She may get on the last flight, but also may have to make different plans. Sheesh. How many hurdles must this poor woman jump to see this 1st game?

Preferably multiple times.:smiley:

I don't see any updates out there on her travel travails. The only Air France flight out of Abuja left very late last night and got into Paris at 8:30 this morning Paris time.

The Air France strike is today, Friday. I imagine her being on the flight to Atlanta leaving at 10:30. That flight is still scheduled. It may even be operated by Delta, in which case the strike is irrelevant. Assuming that flight, she would arrive in San Antonio at 5:30 P.M.

Imagine her going to her third college game some day at AFH. She'll be like, wow dok I'm sorry you had to play all your games in that little barn. 😁

@Kcmatt7 I hope they both just turn into hulk and superman with mom in the stands and they combine for 35 and 25.

Interesting article!

@Gorilla72 I literally gave that story it's own thread haha

@Kcmatt7 - timing is everything! 🙄

@Gorilla72 Awesome read.

I hope this gets him stoked and focused.... I recall some other past players that really stepped up when a parent or parents showed up.

i hope they take her down to the River Walk, and feed her some world famous enchiladas. She might not want to go back.

@KUSTEVE I hope they find someone to translate for her. I bet she'll be tired. I can't wait to see her and Doke!
