.....and two of them are from Richmond, VA!!!!!
Saturday, The Richmond Spiders playing the biggest cinderella so far, Morehead State, around 5:15pm. They certainly have a shot to win to make it to the Sweet 16 for the first time since 1988, and they won't overlook Morehead. Chris Mooney would never let that happen.....
VCU, tonight, played arguably their best game ever in the NCAA's (their biggest win was the Duke victory in '07, tonight's win over GTown was more complete and dominant, therefore their "best"....) and, if they can keep the momentum going, they certainly can hang with Purdue. Richmond beat Purdue earlier this season, so it is definitely doable.
Other Tourney thoughts after one round....
---My Final Four is intact (Ohio State, Kansas, Connecticut and Pitt)
---Seven of my Elite Eight are alive (Darn you, Xavier!!)
---I have VCU making the Sweet Sixteen. I hope I'm right!
---I have Richmond losing in Round 3. I hope I'm wrong!
Finally----WILL N.C. STATE PLEASE CALL SHAKA SMART AS SOON AS VCU'S SEASON IS OVER!!!
Thank you.....from a concerned Wolfpack fan of 37 years....... :)

MY Final Four Picks
Louisville, Memphis, Duke, and Oklahoma
Memphis beats Duke 74-70 on Monday night.
Going with the good defensive squad with enough experience from last year's run to have that taste in their mouths of not wanting to lose this year.
We'll see!

Orlando, lots of money.....
....pretzel at Universal Studios....outrageous
....SpongeBob toe socks for little sister....$7.50 on clearance
....going to Florida without Mom and Dad....priceless
The gang returned to school last night around 1030. They were a bunch of exhausted high schoolers. He had a wonderful time, but was ready to come home.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Me? We're completing day 15 of no voice. This has become WAY past annoying now. Can't talk to kids on phone, can't talk to co-workers in same room, so it's like I'm watching reality unfold around me but I'm in Section 308 instead of on the field where I should be. The coughing sucks, too.
So? I'm contemplating a call to my ear/nose/throat doctor who did an incredible job with my deviated septum surgery back in '03. Just want to make sure that there's not more than meets the eye.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
I, as usual, didn't do very well picking the Final Four.
I got one right, though. And they were also my pick to win it all, so my hope is still alive in that center line in the bracket.
Georgetown.
And here's some optimism....
UNREAL, BUT GET THIS....our Sports Director for WRVA and Virginia News Network (and fellow "24" fan) Gary Hess, correctly predicted all four teams!
He ALSO chose Georgetown to cut down the nets. Maybe I can ride his coattails...:)

Good episode of "24" tonight....at least the Rick Schroder character shows promise of having more depth than just a bully who got away with something in Denver.
President Palmer's last second phone call seemed a bit surreal, but it is television, folks. And, well.....I'll be interested to see where Vice President Daniels come 6am tomorrow morning.
And Jack....great interaction with Brady. Love seeing the 3D-side of Jack. Great writing, great character, excellent way to bring out that line of the story.
Good night, folks. :)
