Heels Top Dog, but Retriever Fever Burns in Our House
So, as a Tar Heel, the perfect basketball season contains the following:
a) win the ACC regular season
b) beat Duke every time you play them
c) win the ACC tournament
d) go to the Final Four
e) win the National Championship
This year, the Heels went 1-1 versus Duke, so “all of the above” is not an option, but yesterday was another good day as the Heels outlasted Clemson to win the ACC Tournament. They now move onto the NCAA Tournament, where they are the overall #1 seed. And while their possible draw doesn’t look very easy, they do have the benefit of having the potential of playing every game before the Final Four in the state of North Carolina.
More excited though was our dog Eutaw, who is wholeheartedly going to be rooting for the University of Maryland-Baltimore County, who’s team won the America East regular season and conference title.. You see, Eutaw is a Chesapeake Bay Retriever (actually, we’re pretty sure she’s the best-chessie-ever), and the mascot for UMBC is the Retrievers. Eutaw will be glued to the set when UMBC gets set to take on nearby powerhouse Georgetown in the opening round of the tournament on Friday.

they are big dogs. her dog tried to airhump my daughter. hehe.
funny, yet mortifying. :P
Yes, my colleagues think I'm a nut, too.
Oh, and Marc and I's alma mater in California (Cal State Univ Fullerton) won some basketball game this weekend that progressed them further into the finals than they've ever been before. But I can't figure out whatzit they're in because every article I read just refers to it as "the dance". WTH? So, I'm rooting for them just because I went there - but I have no idea what they're in or who they're playing or if it's all just for marbles. But yeah - they're my team! :)
don't worry, erin - i have no idea what 'the dance' is either.

Zak -- didn't we have the same conversation last year? ;)
hah hah hah! i'm still floored that ye olde alma mater actually has a decent team at something this year. and that MD didn't make it.
in other news? most random, stupid mascot.... ever. nothing against Chessies... they just aren't fierce, instill terror into the hearts of our enemies kinda dogs. they're run and jump and fetch the dead bird then beg for pettings kinda dogs.
and i can say that becuase i went there. and "played" a sport. so there.
(let me know if they did ok/do ok?)
No no!! Liz!! You can't bash the Chessies!! Eutaw will see that while I'm at work. She WILL be happy that you're an alum though.
What did you play??
PS They lost to G-town.
