A MATCH UP I DIDN’T WANT TO SEE

Not because I think my Gators will lose, but because I am also a fan Maryland. I lived in Maryland for 30 years and always rooted for them particularly in basketball. I still have my Fear the Turtle t-shirt from the year they won the dance with Len Bias before he unfortunately died from crack. And for most of my time there the dance went down Tobacco Road. This year not so much. This is the first year in forever that there was only one ACC team in the second round.

I would much have preferred that Maryland was in a different section so both teams could continue on, but I think my Gators are just a little too strong.
