GO WILDCATS !!!

The happiest 275 fans at Friday night's NCAA Tournament Games had to be student's from Davidson College. Located about 20 miles from Charlotte, North Carolina, Davidson is a long 11 hour bus ride from Detroit the site of Friday's and now also Sunday's NCAA March Madness Games.

By now, everyone who follows college basketball knows Davidson will play Kansas to reach the final four. And they just might make it, after all they've won 25 in a row, and that's the longest win streak in the nation.

But back to the student/fans. The Board of Trustees, reached into their own deep pockets and announced to the 1,700 strong student body, that any student who would make the 11 hour bus ride, the trustees would pay for the buses, the hotel rooms, the meals and the tickets.

The race was on. The race to find enough buses. They found 7 and at 5 a.m. Friday morning loaded with 275 student's they headed for Detroit and Friday nights victory over Wisconsin.

The word is that late Friday night the school was still scrambling for more buses and more students for Sunday afternoons game against Kansas. The winner goes to the final-four. What a wonderful weekend for these kids. They will forge memories of a lifetime because the Davidson Board of Trustees remembered what it was like to be a student at Davidson.

Again if your a friend of college basketball, and old enough, you'll remember when Davidson reached the East Regionals in 1969. They lost to North Carolina. The Wildcats coach was the legendary, Lefty Driesell. And I announced that game on regional television. GO WILDCATS !!!
