Jackie in AR Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Anyone coming to Little Rock this weekend for some of the South subregional games? I'll be at the Friday daytime games. What team are you cheering for? We're Arkansas Razorback fans!! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorna in the boonies Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Won't be watching myself, but I'm glad I saw your post. It reminded me to check and see when North Carolina will be playing. Dh is out of town and I am under *strict orders* to make sure and record Carolina! Thanks for the reminder! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doran Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Won't be watching myself, but I'm glad I saw your post. It reminded me to check and see when North Carolina will be playing. Dh is out of town and I am under *strict orders* to make sure and record Carolina! Thanks for the reminder! And also not one who really follows sports. But, I did follow the ACC Tourny enough to know that my alma mater had taken first place. Lorna, is your dh a Carolina grad? I was lucky enough to be in school there when Michael Jordan was on the team. Those championships were awfully exciting! Doran p.s. How did the term 'alma mater' ever become a replacement for the school you graduated from? I sure don't think of my university as equivalent to a "nourishing mother". :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danestress Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 We are cheering for the Tarheels, of course. I have a sister and BIL who also are UNC grads and *huge* fans. My other BIL works for Duke. Sometimes it gets ugly:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorna in the boonies Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Lorna, is your dh a Carolina grad? I was lucky enough to be in school there when Michael Jordan was on the team. Those championships were awfully exciting! No, but if he had chosen any different profession, he sure would have been! (He's a pastor and needed to go to Bible college.) Even after spending 14 years in TX and nearly 18 away from NC, "Carolina born and Carolina bred, and when I die I'll be Carolina dead" is a constant refrain in our house (on his part, not mine -- I was not the first two and have no intention of becoming the third). ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PariSarah Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Rip Em Up, Tear Em Up, Give Em Heck, Duke!! Go to h*** Carolina go to h***!! Go to h*** Carolina go to h***!! (Funny story on the last one: we, being the virtuous parents we are, chant other things in our ds's presence than the actual cheers. Our favorites are "Ring a bell Carolina ring a bell!" And "Go to bed Carolina go to bed!") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll be watching, too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danestress Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 I just will never understand how anyone could be a Duke fan. I just don't get it. Especially someone who is, in so many other ways, wise and wonderful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura in VA Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Both my husband and I attended UNC. Big fans! Our oldest is at NC State right now, so we have a house divided! Of course, we all despise Duke :D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially someone who is, in so many other ways, wise and wonderful. My oldest brother and his two boys (twins) have Dukitis. Bro' graduated there eons ago...nephews graduate this May. My father, second brother and I are all Carolina grads. Talk about a divided house! Basically, we pull for Duke when they're not playing Carolina. How's that for diplomatic?

Laura in VA Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 And the craziest thing is that I really don't want any of our children attending UNC. It's waaaaaay too liberal for me. :huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
