We always stayed at that Holiday Inn Select. I remember the Winthrop team being there as well.

The adjoining restaurant (Sunrise Inn maybe? It's been a while) served a fantastic breakfast.

If (and believe me, I'm still saying it's a big if) we win tomorrow night, I'm staying and cheering for Asheville. I'll even do the frickin UNCA chant that I hate every time they make a three.

No one whines, folks just state the truth. Have you visited Lexington? Some good history there. Also, more and more, today's coaches are accenting the "VMI way" to recruit folks who want the "VMI way", and aren't just looking for a grant-in-aid. No more signing of kids who say: "VMI was my only offer".

I believe if the final is UNC-A vs. LU or VMI, all 3,300 seats still will be sold and occupied........ :)....if it's RU vs. LU or VMI, no doubt, SRO in Dedmon.

Spring break may be a factor in the student attendance of LU and RU.

If Asheville wins, VMI or LU will host the championship.

They should have made spring break a week earlier or a week later. What if this thing had ended up at the Vines.
(I guess it still could?) It's crazy (to me) not to have the students there.

Albeit you have ulterior motives- we won't think bad of you should you venture to the other side for a couple hours!! Gotta warn you though, we don't serve Kool-Aid at halftime.. :koolaid

We could get some good banter going should we meet in the Finals- it's been a good ride so far, more work for both teams first- good luck Flames!

Good stuff HMO. We were up until someone pulled the plug on the ESPN feed and the internal lights. ETSU was top 10 in the nation at the time. They were really, really good. But no we didn't win that night...But I did get my Sports Center moment! I believe the 2004 championship game was on ESPN. Liberty played pretty good that day!

Wow that's record time Scar! Is there a FF symbol that shines in the sky like batman when someone mentions ETSU????


:lol:

Could you imagine your life right now if they pulled the feed before your dunk??? hahaha my how your life would be different



Yeah I mentioned that I guess the two championship games were on ESPN but that's about all I can come up with

THAT...was a great game. Just about the entire Vines was packed with fans coming in for the LU-RU semi...and ALL were rooting against Winthrop. It was quite electric, for a UNCA fan.
I remember being there for that game and it was a great game to watch. But even greater that Winthrop fell that evening. now if only LU handled their business against RU that evening.............................

LU and VMI, on the other hand, would have something interesting to offer the Big Dance. LU's Curry connection and VMI's style are big enough draws to garner some attention.
I wouldn't necessarily say that about UNCA. I live in Boston and a lot of the med/dental school have told me (without any prodding) that they are rooting for us because of what happened to Kenny.
