Go Yellow Jackets! Go Duke! Go ACC!

Husband and #2 son Tech Alum, #1son Duke, so we're pretty excited! :D

Go C-USA! Go Patriot League! Wait a minute ... where ARE they? :eek:

Good luck in the rest of the rounds! Any chance Elder will be back for GA Tech this weekend? They will need all their talent to keep going. What a bummer that his ankle went out last night. And they beat Nevada anyway!! Duke also played an amazing game - the Illini always play tough in the tournament. UConn and Kansas look very tough coming through. I think we've got a great tournament to look forward to for the next week and a half. Cheers, Anne

Whoohoo! Go Yellow Jackets!

This Georgia girl is GT all the way. Growing up in Atlanta and with a Dad for a fan, I was endoctrinated from birth. First husband was an alum and our daughter has her undergraduate and masters from Tech.

Kathy, we're all ACC too. Daughter - GT, Son - Clemson.

Well - I moved into first place in my poll last night. I WANT St. Joe's to win it all, but my Final 4 are GT, Duke, OSU & CT with Duke winning it all. I don't see GT getting there if Elder is hurt, and it appears that will be the case.

I am hoping I am wrong & St Joe's takes it all.

A-10 : Looked down upon all year, but 2 are still standing!

Well gotta add my 2 cents worth. ROLL TIDE!!! Go BAMA!!! They've never been this far, and they upset the number 1 pick in their region - they play UCONN today, and they may not do it, but this family is hoping for another upset!! So ROLL TIDE!! <img border="0" alt="[bounce]" title="" src="graemlins/ubbbounce2.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[bounce]" title="" src="graemlins/ubbbounce2.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[bounce]" title="" src="graemlins/ubbbounce2.gif" />

Southern Lady, Donna, thought you'd be interested in knowing that the dogwoods, azaleas, as well as redbuds, cherry trees, etc. are all blooming now. Temp today 77. Spring ( or maybe summer ) is here!!

Did not see any prognostication about Elder in today's paper; I think all the writers were too knocked out with last night's victory! :D

Another Kathy,
Thanks for the spring update. I'll be calling my parents in Alpharetta tomorrow and I'm sure they'll be bragging about it. Their yard looks like something out of Southern Living!

Can't complain here though. Tucson is bright, sunny and in the 80's with almost no humidity. I have yellow, purple and pink wildflowers blooming in the backyard. And the perfume from the orange blossoms in my orange tree is divine! Before I moved to the desert, I expected sand and a few cactus. Not so. We have gorgeous vegetation although I do miss my daffodils, dogwoods and azaleas.

Back to basketball. Go GT. I'll be watching tomorrow.

Is this another basketball thing?

yep - NCAA Men's Tournament.

Oh I thouhgt this was a thread on Deck 8 on the Mariner MINT cruisw.

oh Gil......I am sloooooowly recovering from having my beloved Hawks THIS close to the final four. You gotta admit...it was one of the best basketball stories around. Gotta love that Phil Martelli! And what can you say that hasn't been said about Jameer and Delonte???
I actually think I feel better that it could have gone either way at the end. I would have been devastated if it was a blow-out.
Interestingly enough, I was listening to a live radio interview with Martelli this morning...and he and his team feel the opposite way. They could have accepted it more if it had been a blow out.
Gotta admit I was rooting for Xavier too. Actually, I would root for anyone over Duke.

Well - my Final Four are intact in my pool. Unfortunately, 2 others are intact too - and one has CT as the Winner, one has OSU. I have Duke.
So unless either GT or Duke wins it all, I don't win it all. I think CT will be the winner.

I'm sad for both sets of Hawks fans out there. I'm watching for entertainment value only now - out of the running on our pool.

I had two pools. Picked UConn to win in both.
My new motto is "Anybody but Duke."

Bobbi,

I'm with you!! ABD has been my motto for a loooooooong time.....

The Minnesota women just beat Duke 82 to 75 to reach its first final four ever. Both UCONN men and women have final four berths. For UCONN fans it will is difficult to chose between San Antonio and New Orleans.

Bill

And Gino Auriemmo (sp?) Uconn's coach is a Norristown native - just a few miles from our house.
Yup - would love to see both Uconn teams win. (at least this year.)

It's not the same without St. Joe's. :(

Ah! Thanks for that thought lawrence!
