Is one egg un oeuf?
I muted my text thread of my high school buddies because they are the worst type of UNC fans and none of them went to college there. So I ain't listening to it. My college buddies from UNC are all invariably kind to me over the games regardless of who wins. I am pleased by that. Basketball is the one thing I will not talk junk about. Because basketball matters. It's not something frivolous like religion or politics. Basketball is life.
My neighbor is a big Tarheel fan - I've referenced him here many times in shorthand "MTHN."
He sat through 82-50 with me, and last night felt like payback.
I can watch a game with anyone and I'm pretty analytical. I am rooting for Duke but I am not in the wing of fans who blames referees. It does frustrate my wife if someone from the other team makes a really good play and I talk about what a good play it was. I thought how UNC defended Hurt was clinical last night. Their ability to offensive rebound is rugged and worthy of praise. I honestly can't figure out how they aren't a top-five team.
So I like Roy. He and Dean sat in my living room when I was about 9 years old and Roy wrote nine-year-old me a handwritten recruiting letter. I thought that was very kind and I have always judged him by that. I think he is the third greatest coach in ACC history and a top 10 coach of all time. But I love K more than most everyone in my family. So there's that.
I did see that Roy kissed mid Court walking out last night like Antawn Jamison did before going pro. Not sure if that means anything or not.
Printers don’t ever want to connect like they’re supposedta.
Too serious for LTE, but whatevs...
Offensive rebounding is the only area they excel (and excel they do, corralling 49.6% of their missed shots, #1 in D1). But dadgummit they turn the ball over on 21.1% of their possessions (rank 281). And they can’t dadgum shoot (49.0% 2pt, 30.9% 3pt, 67.1% ft) unless they are playing us (two games: 54.0% 2pt, 54.5% 3pt and 70.8% ft), dadgummit!
Plus, you can't be a that good of an offensive rebounding team unless you miss a lot of shots.
