UNC 75 - Billy Packer's Favorite Team 70


When I was a kid I would listen to UNC basketball on the radio and shoot my nerf basketball into its hoop over my bedroom door (OK, toward the hoop). I thought James Worthy and Sam Perkins were gods. I wanted to be Sam Perkins, he was my most favorite player. Now, I think Sean May might be.

We just opened our front door and can hear the screems, yells, bangs, and dogs all over town (not to mention the news helicopters). The town is going nuts - our middle-age neighbor let out a big Woo! (and even that sounds Southern from her) I would have considered going down to the Dean Dome to watch tonight if it weren't for my sinus infection and my absolutely kick-ass television set. This town is *all* about basketball - tonight's title once again seals that tradition.

My only complaints tonight? 1) the sinus infection I touched on before 2) CBS's announcers *obviously* wanted Illinois to win.

Way to go Roy and Team!!
