[QUOTE="stinger 1957, post: 1006481, member: 1682"] Not sarcasm, I could care less about BB mens or womens. I lived in AR when Eddie Sutton was the coach and knew Eddie a little and he taught the AR fans about BB and it was at that time that Bobby Cremins was the GT coach and I would get them on TV some and I tried to become a fan and did a little. I always thought Bobby was a unique sort of guy and he had some good players, seemed to only like to play a 6 man rotation sort of game. I moved back to Atl in '99 and an old frat brother had GTBB tickets and I got into it a little the year they made the NCAA finals and that is about it for me. I did go to the ACC BB Tournament one year when it was the Georgia Dome right after I moved back to Atl., did enjoy the experience but would have something else to do if i had been asked again. Just not a game that has ever really grabbed my interest.
