Thoughts from the Final Four

The Final Four is in Atlanta this weekend, and John and I have tickets.  Here are some of my thoughts from the semi-final games last night:

• I think the UCLA cheerleaders all work at the same strip club.
• It's kind of funny that a band can play a few notes and a bunch of grown men start putting their hands together like alligators.  It's really kind of childish, or cult-like, when you think about it.
• The guys around me used their binoculars more for the dancers than for the game.
• A bunch of Georgetown/Drunk fans walked in near us.  They were chanting something like "Hoya Zaxsun" in an annoyingly loud voice.  Lots of people asked what that meant, to which one of the more sober drunk girls replied, "it's Greek and Latin for 'that rock.'" 
• Note:  if your school's chant has Latin or Greek in it, you go to a nerdy school.
• A lot of the Georgetown girl fans were dressed like lawyers.  A lot of the Florida girl fans were dressed like hookers.
• I paid $8 for a hamburger and $4.50 for a coke.  I didn't mind that I paid $8 for a burger as much as I minded that it tasted like a brick.
• We saw Patrick Ewing coming in the door near us. He's old.  And tall.
• The games really weren't all that good. 
• They did not make good use of the screens, hardly showing any replays.  This is probably due to some NCAA contractual thing, but it was nevertheless, quite lame.  The crowd needs to see more replays.
• I can check "Final Four" off my list of major sporting events to attend.  1 down.  About 7 more to go.
• It's Ohio State vs. Florida.  I'm rooting for Ohio State, but I think Florida will probably win.  Go Noles.

A few things...from a die hard, lifelong Gator fan:

1. The UCLA cheerleaders have always look like porn stars...and no where near college aged.

2. You forgot to say that a bunch of grown, GODLY men stand up and show "the gator" when the band plays.

3. You can "Go 'Noles" all you want to. It seems to me that their sports teams have been watching a lot of playoffs...on television this year. :-)

You know I love you, bro...but I couldn't help swinging at your pitch in the dirt!!!
