For most of the afternoon, the Hogs looked a step or two slow, and they just got manhandled on the offensive boards (Georgia pulled down 12 to the Hogs’ 6). I don’t know if they were just spent after Saturday’s victory or if they didn’t take Georgia seriously enough, but they were the (bi)polar opposite of the team that upset UT.

Being in Big 12 country, I would have had to go to my office to see the TN game. (I don't have an internet connection at home.) After the week I had, I didn't want to see my office, so I stayed at home. Flipped to ESPN just in time to see Steven Hill rolling on the floor in joy. Caught the highlites on ESPN. So today I was pumped to see them beat this certainly dead tired Georgia team. Nope. When the first play of the game resulted in a turnover and a score by Georgia, I just knew that the "bad hogs" were here today. And they were. Now I am at my office to read the message boards with the idea of misery loves company and to see what everybody thinks about our chances against Indiana. I think we already know the odds against beating North Carolina. Not good. :( But what a hell of an upset it would be! Maybe I should have stayed away.

Here’s hoping for a repeat of 2000!" You mean you want Georgia to win four games in four days and win the SEC Tournament? Might wanna re-word that. lol “Now it’s onto the championship game.

Loved reading 'em. I'm already nervous about tomorrow's game. Georgia, after incredibly winning two games today, has that "team of destiny" feel about them. Objectively, they should be bone tired tomorrow, but I'm worried. In many ways, they are similar to the 2000 Hogs that won the SEC Tournament. Great comments, guys. Loved reading ‘em.

Not an identical shot to Reed's against Louisville, but one close to as improbable. Great win, and now we have something memorable for this senior class. Let's hope they keep it going. To follow the J Hawg III narrative, my wife was eating supper with some friends of her and we were calling each other every few minutes so I could give her updates. When I told her we had won on a turn-around jumper from Hill, she was both incredulous and overjoyed. Michael, you forgot Charles Balletine against North Carolina in 1984.

Roughly ten minutes to go. I take the slowest route possible from St. Mark's to the Arts Center, but my wife says, no way you can kill this much clock. Right, but I'm gonna sit in the parking lot until this game ends. Especially after we go down nine and get back in it from the line. Townes miraculously finding his touch. We hit the Arts Center with seven to go. "I'll drop you off at the door." "No, I'm sitting in the car with you." There are people sitting in cars all over the parking lot. It is so tight. Damn Tyler Smith. Damn Chris Lofton. But we hang in there; key rebounds; a stop, a _stop_ when we have to have it. Then the key call: "Ervin drives right, slips down, gets the ball to Hill," (we cringe in the car). "He spins and HITS!!!" I look at my wife, she's as slack-jawed as I am. There's a flurry at the end, and we have no idea just how close Lofton's shot was. All we know is HOGS WIN!!!! We get out of the car. Folks are pouring out of cars everywhere. "Can you believe it was Hill?" There are whoops; fist bumps. The whole reception was in the parking lot, listening on the radio. When I get back home there's a message from my buddy Janet: "Either of my two daughters can marry Steven Hill." Damn. What a win. I am giddy. More giddy than I have been about this team since, oh, I don't know, 1995. Take care of business tomorrow, get a 7 seed and a spot at Alltel. I have serious man-love for John Pelphrey.
