I learn a lot from this thread. Per Wiki , and the internet at large, Leonard Nimoy has a couple of honorary doctorates from Boston U and took some classes at Boston College but apparently did not attend Boston U. MLK, AOC and Faye Dunaway and many other famous folks did though.

Just saw that Iona College upset No.10 Alabama. I missed my chance to reference Rick Pitino feeling his Oates.

I guess not. VCU didn't score for the first 3.5 minutes of the extra period, attempting some of the ugliest 3-point shots I've seen in a while. Danny Hurley and Connecticut win 3rd place in Atlantis, 70-63 OT.

Meanwhile, Rocky Top is revisiting the 1990s. Can John Pelphrey succeed after Hubert Davis failed? (SEC+/ESPN+)*

* I don't have ESPN+, but I can see SEC+ games. Maybe because my cable provider has the SEC Network?

I have no particular love for either school, but if there is a fanbase more pretentious than those from AN ohio state university, I don't know it.

Probably my scarlet and gray colored glasses, but I can think of quite a few. 😀 I'd start with the ones in the same stadium this afternoon (scottdude excluded, of course).

If you mean outside of Chapel Hill, I’m with ‘ya.

UGA is close — but they would really have to choke to not win it all this year.

Sorry esteemed DBR poster - that game was a fun watch. And the postgame celebration made me feel really good.

It was a great example of something college sports have that pro sports simply don't.

The emotional release was palpable.

I hate it when I zigged when I should have Zagged. Last time I did that I ended up in Texas.
