To the city of Greensboro: Congrats on hosting another successful ACC Tournament. Having been to this event in Charlotte, and last year in Washington, D.C., it was great to find friendly people in the restaurants and bars, no crowds to deal with, and very light traffic around town. My friends and I had a super time and look forward to returning.
Note to ACC: The tournament belongs in Greensboro permanently.

Last night we're watching the GW v UNC-W game 'cause my kid goes to UNC-W, and while GW is a perenial powerhouse, who'da thought UNC-W?
After a 19-0 GW comeback, it's a 79 -79 game - gone into 5 minute OT.
With 2 minutes left, UNC-W gets a free-throw followed by a sweet 3-pointer from the corner.
What does our local channel do? Switch to another game.
What a ridiculous - frustrating - action. I still don't know who won, and worse, it was GREAT TV done ... blank.

Was it the local station, or CBS? I think the network controls the feed. In any case, a terrible decision.

GW won. I thought the same thing. Why on earth would they think we wouldn't want to watch a NC team play?
Oh, back to the subject. I'm glad you enjoyed the tournament.
All I got out of it was an extra 20 minutes tacked on to my daily commute, an extra long line when I went for gas, food, grocery store, the mall and everywhere else for a week, etc.
Then on top of everything else, I about got ran down by 3 different out-of-towners talking on their cellphones.
Thank God it isn't hear next year.
