Do you mind if we dance with yo' dates?

Florida takes on College of Charleston: It's the SEC vs. their worst nightmare...The SoCon. What's Coach Kepner got to say about today's showdown?
We have played very well our past few matches, have practiced really hard and I feel that we are well prepared for our trip to Gainesville.

Pretty much boilerplate stuff, very optimistic. How about Florida's Angie McGinnis?
Obviously, panic went through all of our minds.

Really?
We were like, 'Oh crap, our No. 1 point-getter has to go out.

Ohhhh. Hampton, not College of Charleston.

Meanwhile, Oooooklahoma, where the wind goes...you know, sweeping, faces the international conglomerate known as FAMU. Sooners have a little video of their team and Restrepo reacting to the bracket announcements, which is entertaining if only to see Restrepo remark that FAMU "has a lot of foreigners" in his thick Colombian accent.

Meanwhile, in FAMU's student newspaper -- the FAMUAN -- coach Tony Trifonov is busy checking his team's passports for their trip to Gainesville.

"In the NCAA Tournament you know your going to have to come out and play because its only 64 teams left," Trifonov said in a statement curiously devoid of any mention of my previous passport comment.

Do you think they will need a Peacekeeping force to officiate the Oklahoma FAMU match? At least a unit of translators.

Lots of guys in blue helmets I imagine, trying to keep the peace.

You forgot the best part of that last quote by Tony, "...and that team from the Big 12 will be motivated," Trifonov said.

[i]That[/i] team? Apparently Tony not only needs passports for his team, but a U.S. map too! Hey Tony, it's spelled OK-la-ho-ma!

Oklahoma is very hard to pronounce, simply. :-)
