Danny Selig's NCAA Experience - Saturday
When I applied to Franklin and Marshall College (F and M), I had images of participating in fraternal shenanigans like the legends of ‘Animal House’, enormous college buildings, raving into the odd hours of the night and being surrounded by the most beautiful women in the world. When I arrived, I was dismayed to find that the buildings were only of average size, that I became a math major who never enjoyed the party life and that the women were not the most beautiful in the world.

Anthony Brooks' NCAA Experience - Friday
Well once again, we had such a busy day in preparation for the game. Unfortunately we were forced, once again, to wake up at 9am for breakfast (something I haven’t really eaten since I was 10 years old). The hotel provided a good breakfast so I won’t do too much complaining about that. After breakfast, we had some time to spare before going to walk through so I’m sure most of the players took a nap since we all don’t like being awake before noon.
