Sister Jean

Sister Jean filled out her first public bracket ever and she's still sharp as a tack at 104 years old...

She is amazing. I still need to read her book. An excerpt from the Athletic:

Our basketball conversations were especially enjoyable. Make no mistake – this lady knows her hoops. Beyond her understanding the game, which she both played and coached many years ago, I was blown away by her knowledge of what was going on at that moment, especially with regard to Loyola’s season. Sister Jean spends a lot of time researching the Ramblers’ opponents using her iPad. She includes her analysis on the emails she sends to the team as well as in her pregame prayers. Her support of the team was unconditional, but her criticism of referees was unsparing. I tried to deflect her by pointing out how difficult reffing was, but she wouldn’t hear of it. “I don’t know what they’re looking at sometimes,” she said. “I think they need glasses. A lot of times they come up to me before the game and ask me to bless their hands. I think I should bless their eyes.”
