(At a 12-seed they were lucky to squeak into the NCAA tourney, just two years removed from their championship run.)<BR/><BR/>2. George Washington: My M.D. and M.P.H. alma mater and another lucky tourney break, winning the A10 bid with an upset in the conference tournament. <BR/><BR/>3. Georgetown: Because I don't like the school (and it's Catholic tendencies) but I love the basketball team. Go Hoyas!<BR/><BR/>4.

Let's just say ...Cathy, It wasn't about the school. Let's just say that if I went away to school there would be no way I would have gotten the grades to be accepted into med school. Being a young kid away from home for the first time, I would party, party, party, and would have been like the rest of my friends who went away to school. I saw more a more of my friends end up back at the state school were I went because my high school peers focused more on the social life than the academic life.<BR/><BR/>That's all I meant by that comment.

Oh, he was a big football star and played in the game when they won the National Championship back in the 60s..Then he was drafted by the Chicago Bears..Then he was drafted by Uncle Sam and went to VietNam...A beautiful career down the drain..<BR/><BR/>Anyway, If I did this meme it would be almost the same as yours. Atleast my top 2 picks would be. Also, basketball just ain't my game.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13540096932312929506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29955732.post-35375443826558122062007-03-13T10:45:00.000-04:002007-03-13T10:45:00.000-04:00We live in Buckeye country.
