Spencer Hall is courtside at the ACC tournament.

↵You can't give away a ticket at the ACC Tourney, and reasons abound: the weather's taken a nosedive into deep suck, the economy's face down in a puddle and not blowing bubbles, and the rotating tourney decided to play in the heart of gridiron-obsessed Atlanta this year. Sad t-shirt guys roam the overhangs at the Dome with bags full of unsold merchandise. Scalpers look ready to drink the last scuds of beer from discarded tall-boys found in trash cans. There's a hint of unmistakable underwhelm in the air.

↵If you didn't doubt Dick Vitale's status as the happiest man on the planet, he happily gabbed with fans, autographed a Taco Mac menu someone jacked from the CNN Center, and then happily complied with Point and Look Awesome before patting me on the stomach like a doting uncle. I've never had an ab before, but suddenly I'm ripped from the sternum down. Also, I can't stop thinking romantic thoughts about Coach K. I assume his condition is contagious.↵
