State Holiday

By Q on March 9, 2007

One of the greatest things about this time of year is the Statewide Holiday we have today.

ACC Friday has always been a day most professionals are found skipping out to “watch the game”.  It really does not matter who you are a fan of, Duke, UNC or NC STATE. (I have heard there are Wake fans here too)  Today is a day of sheer basketball gluttony!

Only in Raleigh do they roll TV’s into the classroom or cafeteria to watch College Basketball.  WRAL has all the games.  Here is the bracket. http://www.wral.com/sports/sports_specials/acc_tourney/

Enjoy your Statewide Holiday, no one is in their office today anyway.

Go Pack.

    I LOVE ACC tourney time!! What a cultural phenomenon. The only drawback to a twelve team ACC is now you have to call in sick both Thursday and Friday! Great post, brought back memories to elementary school wherethey would set up tvs in the cafeteria and everyone would watch the afternoon games and all the kids would be decked out in all their favorite team’s duds.

    This explains why my upstairs neighbor (who is usually quiet as a mouse) has a bunch of people over in the middle of the day, and there’s lots of stomping.
    I’m new here!

    YAYUH! I stopped in at the Credit Union to deposit a check yesterday afternoon, and they had a loaned flat screen TV from Garner TV & Appliance set up in the lobby with the BC/Miami game on. Gotta love it!

    As a teacher at Broughton, I have fun with my students, who come in with their sense of entitlement for watching the tournament instead of proper class. I’ll let them watch it, but it’s the ultimate quid pro quo.
