The first one was special. I was so relieved to finally "be there" get a chance to see what it felt like, and to get to experience it with someone so special. She'd broken my heart for so long.
The next time was special, but the time before had been so special. I remember feeling like I'd...
I put it this way:
"Go back 30 years and ask anyone where the University of Connecticut was. 12 combined titles later (after tonight)...They're not "old Money" but that's just so Connecticut of them."
I'm nearly 40, these kids are half my age, I'm in a hotel room I redecorated to mimic the furniture layout of home and am on the edge of tears. This is a good thing. Who wants to help me move a couch tomorrow AM?
I was on vacation with the family, watching on a crappy rental house TV. If that had gone in, the trip would have been ruined.
I thought I broke my hand after George Mason (I was 32 at the time and not proud of my behavior)
The FLA game in '94 made my then-girlfriend, now wife, question...
I hate the conference call I'm about to be on
I also hate Peyton Siva in a very unhealthy way. I mean, it's not natural to loathe someone 20+ years your junior who you've never met but his face and hair make me so angry. GRR! Oh man...do I ever loathe that young man
I'd offer to help pony up funds for those camps but they're in enough trouble lately. But, man, you can see what the hype's about in those flashes. If it can be brought out consistently, with those guards...oh lordy. I'll be putting he flag back out in front of the house. Neighbors made me...
That's a nice way to start a gloomy Friday. I actually don't remember the Miss St loss. I think I blocked it out of my memory it was so horrible. Duke made me cry. Florida made my then girlfriend, now wife, wonder what she was getting into.
I'm convincing myself this morning that it's all...
They'll definitely both be there. There's a rule: Duke and UNC can't travel more then 80 miles from their respective campuses for the first weekend. And among Greensboro, Charlotte, Raleigh and the occasional foray to Winston Salem, they're covered.
I agree about 8/9. Either get up to 7 or fall back to 10. Although, even as a 7/10 you probably have a "road game" on the weekend. 10, if you ask me, is better than 8. Hell...11's better than 8 if you ask me.
Then again...that's what you get for being seeded 7-10. You don't get the benefit...
He's the type of player who makes me yell "WHY DID YOU SHOO...OK...it went in...let's not do that again"
My wife saw me do that the other day against Pitt, laughed and walked out of the room. I did it a few times today.
Aaaaand...(hitches up my pants to old-man level)....he's still a Top-5 pick in the upcoming draft, right? Ugh...let me rant about the lack of attention paid to fundamentals starting in youth basketball.
Wait...where'd everyone go?
Even with expansion, they'll still have 8 teams within a reasonable drive of Greensboro (the ACC). They're not moving. It's a very large arena and there's too much pull from the 2 biggest draws. They're not going to NYC. People down here won't go into "Yankee Summbitch Territory" for their...
Best: Seeing my first UConn ge ever. My father took me out of school so we could go watch the afternoon double-header of the 1990. First BET for me, First basketball game in the Garden...
Worst: The 1995 finals (loss to Villanova). Family friends had a son who was a 'Nova manager. This...
Another game where I root for the meteor. But, in the absence of that, nothing is nicer than Duke getting man-handled at home.
UNC's an odd team. I've seen them play a few times (being local) and they just lose focus at times and can get down (reminds me of another team). The FLA St loss...
Actually...they don't grow much tobacco here in Raleigh, though they are known for their animal husbandry program at State.
What a nightmare of a game that was. I was rooting for the meteor
