DEL.ICIO.USHuge day for Tech women
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
I drove up to Greensboro today for the ACC women’s basketball tournament, which has not been a fun place for Georgia Tech. The Yellow Jackets have won more than one game in the tournament only once in 28 years, in 1992. So nobody should have been surprised when Tech’s flight here on Tuesday was canceled and the team ended up traveling by bus.
But Tech really doesn’t have to win two games here this week. One ought to be enough. A victory on Thursday over last-place Miami ought to clinch an at-large NCAA tournament berth, and that would make history because it would put Tech in the tourney in back-to-back seasons for the first time.
The Yellow Jackets split with the Hurricanes during the regular season. Tech coach MaChelle Joseph said her team was excited about the chance to avenge the loss at Miami, which RPI-wise at least is by far the worst of the team’s eight losses this season.
I think Tech will win. You can watch it on FSN at 11 a.m., if you aren’t stuck at a job without cable TV.

A pall on North Avenue: the developer of Dungeons and Dragons has died. Shouldn’t affect the girls’ play, however. More of a guy-geek thing.

We should be able to beat “Da U”. If we can’t then I don’t think we deserve a spot in the NCAA Tourney.

Has anyone else heard of the Russian Weight program the baseball team did in the off season? I believe GT baseball is the first team to do the program although several professional athletes such as Patrick Kearney and Ilya Kovulchuk have done it. Evidently you lift a ton of weight ( literally, over 2,000 lbs) and stimulate your innume system and testosterone production to do wonderful things. After seeing what these guys are doing so far I hope the football team follows in their footsteps!
