Vandy watch

[kellinator]

Things continue to roll along for the Commodores: the women's basketball team beat the very worthy UT-Chattanooga to make the women's Sweet Sixteen Monday night. Yes, we're one of the few schools sending teams to both Sweet Sixteens. Heh. tenn_crichton owes me some clam chowder.

It was really odd to me to see Vandy swaggering and dancing around on the court, but in a good way.

And very much not to my surprise, after semi-acknowledging that they screwed up in overlooking Vandy, the national press is back to ignoring them, basically crowning UConn the preemptive winner of tomorrow night's game. Last week I was pissed, but after seeing how brilliantly Stallings used the lack of respect from the media as a motivational tool, I say, bring it on. Yeah. Ignore us at your peril.

Actually, I think it is best that they ignore Vandy... that puts pressure to perform and scrutanizes them if they fall.... This way they can be the surprise of the torney and not a letdown.

Yeah!! Booya!!

*sigh* And I so wanted some Georgia peaches... to make cheap wine out of. :)

We'll get the chowder to you. So, what style do you like?

As for basketball, who do your girls play next? UConn?

They're taking on Stanford.

Hang on to that clam chowder for the time being. If the invitation still stands, I'm hoping to come see Boston sometime in June. And yes, I will bring peaches. Because I'm sweet like that.

Yup, it's still open and I do love Georgia peaches. Mmmmm....

June is fine, but things will be hectic around then, so give me a holler when you are about to start planning the pilgrimage up to the one true center of civilization.
