March Madness in full swing!

Basketball action on Thursday was CRAAAAAZY.

In the ACC:
  • Unranked Georgia Tech (worst team in the ACC) upset Number 18 Clemson
  • Virginia Tech knocked off Miami
  • Maryland defeated NC State
  • Boston College knocked out Virginia
One of the biggest stories, if not THE biggest story - the Syracuse/UCONN game.

Syracuse survived the longest game in Big East history with the epic win over UConn. The game was the second-longest Division I game ever played!

We're talking about SIX overtimes people. Six!

In the end... Syracuse got the 127-117 victory over the Huskies.

Earlier West Virginia beat No. 2 Pittsburgh which means Syracuse will take on the Mountaineers.

Headline News!!

Ah. Sorry y'all. It's almost been a week since my last post.

No one is reading this to care, but I still feel bad.

So here are a couple things that happened in the past week:

UNC beats Duke; Takes Number One in ACC
- Duh. We all kinda new this was going to happen. Sorry Dookies, it was just obvious that this was going to happen. The ACC Tourney starts tomorrow!

Octomom 911 call released
- I don't want to hate on the Octomom, but this call was craaazy! She didn't know where her kid was, even though he was with the nanny. I know this happens, where the kid disappears and you freak out - but she was threatening to kill herself on the 911 call! What about your five other (at the time) kids?? Cuckcoo!

Brit's who-ha makes news
- The audio of Britney Spears talking about her "waldrobe malfunction" was released. She was talking about that you could see it. Ummm... this isn't the first time your who-ha has made the news. Who HASN'T seen that?

Football Players Lost at Sea
- So the one survivor is the only survivor. That's just sad. A fishing trip gone wrong and it's just so hard to think about the families. It's one thing to die on land, at least then there is a CHANCE to get the body back and mourn. But bodies lost at sea rarely ever turn up, especially how far out they were. R.I.P.

Stabbed in Head
- How crazy was this? Tampa Bay Bucs linebacker Geno Hayes was stabbed in the head and neck by his crazy girlfriend! Hayes was taken to a hospital by a friend Saturday. I bet he wishes he'd stayed at Florida State a little longer and never met that crazy woman. Speaking of domestic violence...

Chris Brown vs. Rihanna: Round 57
- I say versus, but its really not. They got back together. Why, I'll never know. Its like she doesn't realize he beat the shit out of her. He went to court a week ago, and the details of the police report was released. The reports been out about a week, but I'm still gonna post it later. It's a good read, in a bad way. Her people don't want pictures of the two of them together to get out, his people do. Go figure!

Hmmm... what else. I'm sure is tons more that I would have/should have written about, but I can't find my list right now.

Sorry for the delay peeps!

Are you ready for some football?!?

Like I mentioned in the last post - the ACC released its team schedules for the '09 Season.

Big happenings already in play.

First - the Miami/FSU rivalry is coming back to Labor Day Monday, this year in Tallahassee.

The ACC Championship Game will be played on Dec. 5 in Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Fla. Can't wait until that thing moves to Charlotte!

Another big side note -- there are already six Thursday Night ESPN appearances slated for the ACC.
  • NC State vs South Carolina on Sept. 3
  • Clemson at Georgia Tech on Sept. 10
  • Georgia Tech at Miami on Sept. 17
  • Florida State at North Carolina on Oct. 22
  • North Carolina at Virginia Tech on Oct. 29
  • Virginia Tech at East Carolina on Nov. 5.
Notice GT, UNC and VT all have two Thursday night appearances. All of them, two weeks in a row...

I don't know how I feel about Thursday night games. As a spectator, I love them. When my team is playing, I hate them. Especially on a home game, when I could be there, but since its on Thursday, you can't because of work.

If you want to look at all the ACC teams' schedule, there is a link below.

All ACC team schedules

You can start looking forward to football in less than eight hours

That's right... football season just ended (for the pros) a couple weeks ago, but you can already start getting ready for football action for the 2009 season!

If you are a fan of the ACC.

TheACC.com will unveil the 2009 ACC Football Schedule on Thursday, February 12 at 11 a.m.

This makes me insanely happy. Can't wait until 11 a.m.!
