That hat?

I've thought, hoped and prayed that this day would come--ever since Claire made the Blue Squad back in August.

We expect a full report WITH PICTURES when you return!

(An aside to those of you here in the Triangle area--Nobody covers the Final Four like WRAL. ExLax and I went to the Final Four in Seattle back in 1989, and although we had a fun time, we missed so much of the local flavor that WRAL brings in its coverage of the Final Four. We had good seats--front row in the level above the broadcast booth, thanks to my connection with you-know-who, but the REALLY good seats on the floor go to the media sponsors and the members of the NABC.

We went out on the Iron Dukes charter flight. I sat two rows away from H. Keith H. Brodie on the plane. We never got to interact with the team or coaches, although I did get to visit with Mickie Krzyzewski one evening. We saw a lot of the cheerleaders, since one of the members of my travel party was a cheerleader's mom. We had a great tour of the Seattle area, including lunch at the Space Needle, and we even rented a car and drove to Vancouver while we were there. We ate dinner with Devil84's parents one night at the hotel. We saw a lot of the women's Final Four teams because they were playing in their Final Four down in Tacoma that same weekend. So we had fun, and I think that every Duke fan should try to experience at least one Final Four in person, but the atmosphere is not the same intensity level as that of a home game in Cameron Indoor.)

ILJ and I have already sent in our request with the devild***s.

I got mine on-line and will probably pass out from the thin air at the altitude I am at. But I will be in there. I will be going solo from Cincy each day, but if anyone wants to meet up beforehand, I will be there with lots of time to spare.

Last time I heard those WVU "Let's goooooooooooo, mountain ears!" chants was back in 1986, Greensboro Coliseum, 1st two rounds of the tourney (we barely squeaked past MissValleySt).

It was great to meet Lavabe, you and your family. Regarding Monday, "Neither snow, nor rain, nor heat, nor gloom of night"...will keep me from Indy for diner.
