I don't know; I'm still trying to recover from the loss to FSU by the Tarheels in the ACC Tournament.  My only two consolation prizes out of that are that Duke didn't win it either and UNC still got a No. 1 seed in the Big Dance.

Ugh.  What a weekend...

Your obsession with all things Duke will eventually be your undoing. BWAAAHAHAHAHA....

I have a feeling my bracket is going to get ugly very early on.  Two weeks ago, it was just a matter of who matches up better against each other...Kentucky or Syracuse.  Now, those two suddenly look vulnerable, although I was never completely sold on Kentucky.  Just an extremely athletic, young team playing in a bad conference. I think there are going to to be a huge number of lower seeds advancing in this thing.

FSU is a dangerous team in the ACC this season; they'd only met the Tarheels once on Jan 14th and it was an ugly loss for Carolina; I knew that the Tarheels could beat Duke (dangerous as they can be) but I was honestly worried about a match-up against FSU.  As it turns out FSU not only defeated Duke but Carolina also.

That's a huge feat for anybody in the nation.  Beating those two teams on back to back days is stout.

Gonna do my best JADennis impression here (or statiger):

Of the Big 3 sports -

Football - 3 of last 3 from SEC (09, 10, 11)
Basketball - 1 of last 3 from SEC (12)
Baseball - 3 of last 3 from SEC (09, 10, 11)

7 of the last 9 NC's in the Big 3 money sports  = SEC.

Pretty impressive to me. Also if you wanted to go back a couple of more years, you could also find UF's NC's in Basketball and Football.

That's not even looking at the other sports like Track, Golf, Equestrian, Swimming, Gymnastics, Softball where the SEC is also just as strong.
