Richmond, Virginia

Is enjoying it's unlikely Hickory Huskers run on the back of two different schools:

On Friday night, its two Division I schools -- the University of Richmond and Virginia Commonwealth -- will play in the Sweet 16. The 12th-seeded Spiders face top-seeded Kansas, and the Rams, an 11-seed that took the long road in via the First Four, meet No. 10 seed Florida State.

Since 1980, only one other city has produced such a double-double: the slightly larger metropolis of Los Angeles has pulled it off three times in the regional semifinals. (Villanova and Temple played in the Sweet 16 in 1988, but technically Villanova is outside the Philadelphia city limits.)

And if VCU and Richmond win, they would be the first teams from the same city to meet with nothing less than a Final Four berth on the line -- and an improbable Final Four berth, at that.

I'd say some of those Virginia Union teams from the 1980's could whip either team's ass, but what's important to remember from Richmond's hoops history is that my high school girlfriend took me to a Spiders game once, their best player was some little white guy, Kenny (of course) something, and then she dumped me upon discovering other men existed    I dumped her cuz I was about done with her bullshit.

As a resident of Richmond, I will be checking in with Sistatime!'s NCAA picks. Or, as she calls it, the NAACP. 

My last girlfriend lived in Richmond.  That tells you how fucking long it's been since I had one.  fucking hell.

Heeeeeeeeeeeey...and here she is!  I'm surprised color photos even existed back when we dated..
