I hope he brings the same luck to the heels that he brought us when we played Georgetown.

Be careful what you wish for! The Georgetown game was the last poor game we played that season before things coming together for our national championship.

Hmm...true and very good point. I wonder if they will let him call any of the game.

Will Reggie Love be there? Maybe he can play the part of Larry David (Curb your Enthusiasm) and accidently trip Barnes. :p Go MSU!

The White House press release referred to "the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill." This is a basketball story, not a news story, so the location is superfluous. Must have been written by an NC State person.

IIRC President Obama's previous spokesman (and still part of his team), Robert Gibbs, is an NC State graduate. The Triangle connections are strong in this White House!

Gibbs' mother works at the Perkins Library:



[Inauguration Day story in the Chron] As Nancy Gibbs, department head of acquisitions for Perkins Library, stood in the cold at President Barack Obama's inauguration Jan. 20, she had change on her mind.

Watching the events by the reflecting pool with her daughter-in-law and 2 million spectators, Gibbs reflected on the personal change this day brought for her son, Robert Gibbs, who had been named Obama's press secretary.
