Ten hours till tipoff and I’m #263 in line. Crazieness. #finalfour 2010-04-05 17:47:35 Just came up with a #finalfour chant using the ‘Cinderella team’ theme ESPN has been pushing. If you hear “Al-most Mid-night” — that’s us.
4-5 18:28: Apparently Butler had classes today. That’s why their line is so short. So did Duke. That’s why their #finalfour line is so long.
18:29: Duke just beat Butler in a beer shotgunning contest. This is an athletic crowd. #finalfour
20:59: It’s raining now on the Devil & Bulldog fans. Just my luck: they stink like wet dog. #finalfour
22:35: I am in! Behind The basket, row 8 Seattle 6. Wonderful view. Somehow order is restored in The world.
4-6 0:19: Watching Duke practice. Face painting is underway. Damn, I should probably not have painted my own initials on my cheeks. #finalfour
1:34: The stadium has gone Crazie! #finalfour
2:31: NCAA championship games must be so tough. Coach K looks so stern, someone should tickle him.
3:33: This NCAA is too close for me. My buttcheeks have been clenched for an hour.
6:16: So was six months of basketball worth the six months of heartbreak it counterfactually caused? …sorta. If it ever was, it was this season. 2010-04-06 14:12:17 A season of basketball ends in a high for us Duke fans. Now to spend 10 hours on a bus to get home.
