My fingers are shaking and I cannot type quickly as I would like. I have SO MUCH to fill everyone in on after just leaving the Big Dance.

Where to begin, where to begin....

I was not expecting Keith Sweat go put on the great concert that he did. He entertained the ladies with his smooth voice and R&B songs.

Gavin DeGraw was next and he was just as great. The crowd was so into it and he even came around and met with all the fans behind stage to sign autographs and take pictures. Such a nice guy!  Even the UNC cheerleaders were singing along to his songs.

After his performance the pep rallies began. Each of the schools had their bands, cheerleaders, and mascots. By then, there were about 30,000 people gathered, each one donning their school colors.

Troy Greene, an avid UNC fan was one of them. He flew in from North Carolina with his buddies, Shannon and  Mike.

"I am in awe of everything going on," Greene said. "I just bumped into some friends of mine from UNC, I had no idea they were coming. Everyone is in a great mood and the atmosphere is awesome. It's been a great experience already and the games haven't even started yet."

Blue and green (all the school colors) balloons were let go. A fly over took place and then it was time for the Pussycat Dolls.

All I can say is WOW. They came out in all sparkles did an outstanding performance. The adrenaline from that concert is sure to carry over into the NCAA Final Four semifinals!
