As an ACC fan! I do understand that we may know more about college basketball than a fan of the SEC, BUT PLEASE TELL ME you do know the final 8 teams that remain in the NCAA Basketball Tournament are referred to as the "ELITE EIGHT" not the Great Eight? First Round, Second Round, Sweet Sixteen, Elite Eight, Final Four, and Championship!

The Great Eight is old school and a much better name. Sorry.

The Cincinnati Reds registered the "The Great Eight" trademark in November of 2008.
