(Hope I haven't overlooked a thread already started.)

Well, the young Tarheels were a flop this season. Talented bunch of kids that just couldn't pull it together as a unit this year,) and failed to make the NCAA's for the 1st time (I think) since I moved to North Carolina.

However, I am plumb proud to be a'hollerin' HOW 'BOUT THEM 'EERS!!!

It is more thrilling for me to see the West Virginia Mountaineers make it to the Sweet 16, and now the Elite 8 twice in 5 years, than when Carolina makes it to yet another Final Four.

I might die and go to "Almost Heaven" if they actually make an appearance in the Final Four.

(Shush - don't tell my son or Dani - but otherwise I continue to cheer for Duke - the last standing Tobacco Road team.)
