The NCAA Finals Are Finally Here

April 6, 2009     Posted in Buzz

michigan_state_fullunc-logo I’m a Michigan fan to my core, but hard as I tried to root for anyone but Michigan State in Final Four, I couldn’t control my yelps/fist pumps as those Spartans sunk basket after basket. And I couldn’t fight the desire to head downtown to Detroit to celebrate after the fact. I felt like I was in the twilight zone – rooting for State AND hanging out in Detroit?

What a strange, strange day.

And it was awesome. There were hot basketball fans all over the city and despite the $200 I lost playing blackjack at the Detroit casino (I was sitting next to a really cute UNC fan and didn’t want to get up….) the entire evening was really quite fun.

And now it is the moment of reckoning (for college basketball…not T.I.): the NCAA basketball final is here. Tonight the top two basketball teams in the country will face off for the ultimate title. Which team will come out on top: Barack Obama’s pick, UNC, or the Michigan State Spartans? And, the bigger question, will this game be over in time for the season premiere of The Hills?

We can only hope.
Who are you rooting for tonight?

    My inner Cameron Crazie says "GTHC!" (Go To Hell Carolina)

    But sadly, my money's on Carolina to win :/

    UConn was the only one of my picks that made it to the Final Four, so at this point I may as well just go with my hometown pride… GO SPARTANS!!!!!!

    Plus I'd just like to see Michigan get some good news this year. I go to school in Maryland and hate how whenever I tell people what state and city I'm from, all they want to know is how much worse it is and how many people I know who lost their jobs. I almost miss the days when "I'm from Detroit" only got "Wow, have you ever been mugged?" lol…

Tell us what you're thinking...
