Kentucky seems to be revving up a bit.

I wouldn’t object to seeing some of that in a game against Alabama tomorrow night. :)

We’ll be in Kentucky again this weekend. Watching a game against Florida Saturday afternoon with the in-laws would be fun. Weather isn’t looking too good for being outdoors.

Speaking of Saturday weather, looks like y’all have the potential for some trouble from that front. Stay safe. :T
 
I'm not sure Bama can beat Florida anyway... they've beaten us twice in the last few weeks.

Yep... my wife is already nervous about the potential bad weather on Saturday. Maybe it won't be as bad as they are making it out to be.

We are at least lucky to be in an age now where we can get a heads up to shelter. There was a warning for our county in FL earlier this week. We got text(s) and phone from the county as well as tv and Alexa alerts all going off.
 
I didn't watch it, but Angie told me we got beat up, a knock-out, no doubt. Florida has a good team; I can see them in the Final Four.

What about Tennessee hushing up Auburn... wow!

It was really competitive with the teams trading blows in the first half. The second half was like a completely different game.

I think you’re right. There’s been talk throughout the season but they are really showing it now.

What about Tennessee hushing up Auburn... wow!
A great win for Tennessee!
I didn’t get to watch most of the game and was surprised when i tuned in to watch. I guess I took it for granted that Auburn was going to win. Can’t do that in this game! A big part of the excitement of Mach Madness!
 
I would not be surprised to see Florida and Duke in the final four, maybe even in the championship game, if they don't get seeded in the same bracket.

Wow... our very own Troy University... from Troy, AL, will play Kentucky in the first round.

I was born and raised in Troy, where I graduated from high school (yes, I actually graduated high school). We lived there until 1999 when we moved to Luverne, where we are now. Of course, Angie still drives to Troy for work, and that is where my former business, Premier Credit and Family Firearms, was located. For a long time, the official address for AV NIRVANA, LLC was Troy, AL, but it is now Luverne.

I guess I'll have to root for Troy... GO TROJANS!
 
Seems like it would be a pretty close game if you look at the records, but the three major teams Troy played this year, Oregon, Arkansas, and Houston, beat them up pretty badly. I suspect the Wildcats will do the same... just a hunch. :whistling:
 
I watched most of the Kentucky games this year so I know not to put this one in the win column before the game is played.
 
Reasonably straightforward day yesterday, although I was sorry to see the Commonwealth’s 2nd team bow out early and bust a bunch of brackets. Good win for Arkansas against Kansas.

Today we need a Cinderella story to get started. Mount St. Mary’s gets my vote.

Well I'm glad you didn't say Robert Morris... lol.

I know you wouldn't do that anyway.
 
We need Texas Tech to beat Duke.
