Any b-ball fans out there? Who's your favorite team? Personally I'm a Duke fan. (This should cause some reaction.) By the way, what the hell is a Tar Heel and why is their mascot a goat?

I have to say I'm a Buckeye's fan with Xavier U Muskies a close second. I love that they are both doing well right now!

Miami University first, then the rest of the MAC.

Pitt Panthers...this is the year...at least the elite eight.

urbino

I used to follow this a lot, but not so much over the past 10 years or so. I just sorta lost interest. Not sure why.

dtrdwngs

My poor Indiana Hoosiers. That's all I can say.

Is anyone else watching the Duke/UNC game? Its been great so far,as usual.

Luko

I'm wit ya...can't really stomach Dickie V any more...but you can always count on this being a great game. Kinda like Xavier and Duquesne University, right BBC?

I hear you on the Dicky V thing. Ive heard him so much that ive learned to tune him out. If you believe thats possible.

During the Revolutionary War the North Carolinian Militias held their lines so well people said that they must have tar on their heels.

urbino

Really? Cuz I heard it was because they couldn't sh*t in the woods without hitting their feet.

Ur thinking of South Carolinans...that's why today we call them sh*t heels.

urbino

Let's not make invidious distinctions: they all have poo on their tootsies.

Apparently their cocks are game, as well.

Well, thats respectable. But, why is their mascot a goat?

I think I remember reading that in NC, during bleak times, people would grind up their goats to make tar...

WOW! I did not know you could get tar out of goats.

Oh, that's easy. It's because of that old story about Br'er Rabbit and the Tar Goat.

Did anyone watch the game between Ucon and Syracuse? Six overtimes? Are you kidding me? Seems like a pretty good warmup for March Madness.

Luko

I didn't see it, but saw the highlights...unbelievable. The Big East is THE conference...no doubt. In other news, this is the year Pitt gets that Sweet 16 monkey off its back and makes it to the Final Four.

plaidbanana1

Well, my dookies are done. Good luck to anyone who still has a team in the tourny,

dutyje

7 of my elite 8 are still in, and all my final four. As far as teams I would actually root for if it weren't for my bracket -- they were eliminated long ago.

Luko

My bracket is shot to hell, my final four is Wake, Memphis, Pitt and UCONN. However, and much more importantly, the Panthers are alive.

Amen... Hail to Pitt
