I grew up in the mountains, too, but it was the Rocky Mountains.
So, um, nope. No ACC tournament there. At the time all the teams I cared about were in the Western Athletic Conference, and they never allowed us to watch any of that, either.
Now I work in a hospital in Norfolk, VA, and we have established a tradition. On Friday we walk down the street to a little bar/restaurant that has a tv and we watch the noon game and eat big, greasy burgers and fries. We've been doing it every year for about a decade now.
Looking forward to it again in a couple of days.
"We are not provided with wisdom, we must discover it for ourselves, after a journey through the wilderness which no one else can take for us, an effort which no one can spare us, for our wisdom is the point of view from which we come at last to regard the world." --M. Proust
