From the Sunday March 27th Charlotte Observer: "I'm down, and don't want to get over it". Outstanding piece of writing from the Observer editorial page editor.

especially this part:

So while they may still be wiping Kyle Singler's blood off the floor in Anaheim, I'm starting to get excited about something else: Sophomore Kyrie Irving and freshman Austin Rivers, together in Duke's backcourt. Just wait till next year.

Taylor, otherwise known as Sastre, was a student of mine years ago when I was a Spanish TA. He's a really funny guy, and at times like this I'm sure that sense of humor will get him through.

I love that my daughter, when she was about 4, pointed out a Carolina bumper sticker and my other daughter, who was about 6, said, "They aren't bad people, they just make bad decisions."

Nice, but the young man took quite a bit of heat for his editorial. Seems there are a lot of folks in Charlotte who aren't college basketball fans.

Charlotte? Pastel blue ghetto.

I feel bad for Duke fans who live in that environment.

Correct indeed, however quality will always overcome quantity.
