The Virginia band is starting their rally on Nicollet with “Eye of the Tiger.” I once saw the guy who wrote that song talk about writing it in a small auditorium in D.C., and then he ripped out that riff on an acoustic guitar. What a cool guyby Greg Stanley via twitter 4/6/2019 7:45:27 PM

Just met the cutest family from Jackson, MS. The dad, Bo Harrell, is a 2001 Auburn grad who HAD to witness the team’s first #FinalFour appearance. “If I wanted to see this is my lifetime, I figured I better come now.”by Liz Sawyer via twitter 4/6/2019 8:26:31 PM

“I told the kids if we made it to the #FinalFour , we would go — because I didn’t think it would happen,” Harwell said. “But here we are.”

Preachers with microphones are posting up at some of the busier corners en route to @usbankstadium — as they tend to before all large sporting events. Fans aren’t paying much attention.by Liz Sawyer via twitter 4/6/2019 8:35:04 PM

I readily admit that I’ve went up to MANY Syracuse fans today (bc I cant help myself)! Most attend the #FinalFour every year regardless of whether Cuse makes it. One got a picture with Coach Boeheim today.by Liz Sawyer via twitter 4/6/2019 8:51:06 PM

Chris (right) and David Baum met in Charlottesville 40 years ago. But not all in the family are Virginia fans— a son-in-law went to Auburn and is here, too.

Virginia just ran on the court under a cloud of smoke and confetti. UVA and Auburn has the same team colors, so it’s hard to tell which fans are which from up high. Just a TON of orange and blue.by Liz Sawyer via twitter 4/6/2019 9:55:21 PM

In later news, I just dropped $19 on a bottle of water and a walking taco. Which might be a crime against humanity, but I’m not bitter at all... https://pbs.twimg.com/media/D3gJuVyW4AAON3l.jpg
