Watching on ESPNU between games the ESPN special on the SEC Tournament in Atlanta when the tornados hit.

May be the craziest shite I saw at a basketball game outside of a Tennessee vs. Louisville matchup where the ice under the floor at Freedom Hall caused the floor to sweat to the point that players could barely stand up.

Where were you when the rival dream of "structural collapse" during a Kentucky Basketball game actually almost happened?

Watching that too.

to Georgia Tech for letting the SEC use their arena to finish the tournament.

It was nuts to watch live. You could visibly see the ceiling shake.

Ticket holders during that tourney got absolutely fricked though.

Georgia Tech will always have my respect for helping the SEC out like that.

yeah he's doing it a bunch. well we really weren't ready for georgia. worst team in the conference that already played a game that morning and their best player fouls out pretty damn early. hard not to be ready for that juggernaut

Such an odd weekend. Sundiata Gaines is easily one of my 3 favorite Dawg b-ball players of all time.

I remember flying out of Atlanta to New Mexico the day after the tornado.

That particular SEC Story wasn't that interesting though.

I somehow doubt that they let the SEC do anything.

So what, the SEC was like "Hey nerds, remember us? We're using your shite for the next week."

Let's not kid ourselves, they were compensated quite handsomely I'm sure. More opportunistic than helpful.
