the good, the bad, the ugly

hey y'all!
hope everyone had a great weekend!
my weekend was pretty good, but i must admit, i would have had more fun if the terps would have won at cameron indoor.
the ugly - the final score was maryland 44, duke 85...it was really ugly y'all! duke has some amazing athletes, but it seemed like they were playing with the local high school instead of with an acc team.
the bad - y'all, the terps did not come to play, it was incredibly sad to see only one player (my fave - landon milbourne) give it his all through the whole game. it was so sad to see that more than the final score. another thing that was kind of bad was that we weren't allowed to carry signs into cameron. boo! i made a sign that said "marry me milbourne" and then "go terps" underneath it. i was bummed y'all!
the good - the road trip up there and back was so much fun! we were all chattin' it up, singing along to music and just generally had a great time! we were so excited going up there! i felt like hb & i really got to know missy a lot better, and we are so thankful to have such a great friend here in atlanta! also, the duke fans were so unexpectedly nice! one older gentleman saw us with our maryland gear on, and asked about maryland, where we were from, directed us to the will call. so incredibly nice! after the game, another guy was next to us telling us how he thinks that gary williams (the maryland basketball coach) is a great coach and that he just didn't have players. everyone was so great!
if y'all ever get a chance to see a game at cameron indoor, take it! it's a great place to see a game. there is literally no bad seat in the whole place. we had an amazing time! it would have been better with a maryland win, but i can see why duke has such a home court advantage.

  1. Hi - I found you from Alice's site...just wanted to say hi from a fellow Louisiana-raised girl. I currently live in NC, so I'm an SEC football fan (Geaux Tigers!) and ACC basketball fan. Although, I wasn't happy to see Duke win either, but I gotta say...Go Heels! ;) ~LA

  3. That was a pretty miserable game. But I'm so glad you guys had such a great experience at Cameron! At Comcast Center they would have tarred and feathered anyone wearing Dukes gear. Guess those rich nerds are pretty classy! I miss you guys. I wish I could have gone on that road trip. Three of my favorite people in one car? Can't beat that. Love you!
