Schimmel Sisters on HBO's Real Sports

[RedGuerrUltra]

Just saw the segment on the latest REAL Sports episode. Worth checking out.

How was it? I don't have HBO but will record it this weekend.

BTW: I think Louisville has more than a 50-50 chance to get to the NC game by virtue of the games they played against UCONN this season...

Notre Dame hasn't faced anyone close.

Geno has some great quotes in the segment. He said he is going to scour the reservations for more hidden talent.

That would be awesome. The kids have trouble getting used to being away from reservations, sad to say. But having the Schimmels, Angel Goodrich and now Tasha Buck of Green Bay succeed may help them get through it.

I lived and worked on a reservation for about a year and it was very different than living in the outside world. It was good being around other people of your own race all the time and not being a minority all the time. But there's just not enough jobs or opportunity there. Plus all the accompanying social problems made it obvious that I had to go back to the "other" world if I wanted to pursue my goals.

I've found it better to just go back and visit but I wasn't born and raised on one so it's harder for them.
