What a night! We started our night at The Barbecue Joint with Anthony and Kristin. That place is great!
We watched the game with a bunch of friends out at the Carolina Ale House. The bar sits on the line between Chapel Hill and Durham and was packed with Duke and UNC fans making the atmosphere totally electric. After a slow UNC start the Heels stepped it up and as Hansbrough said “stayed within themselves.” The poise of these freshman is incredible. I can’t wait for next year to see how Ginyard and Green develop. Both of them are have some serious potential that is just starting to show.
Anyhow, the place was full of craziness as you can see …
After the game we had a little indecision - go out or go home? We picked up Elizabeth and headed out, then turned around and dropped her back off. We headed home and hit the driveway, then turned around and hightailed it to the Dean Dome. On our way Katie called in to a sports talk show! I’m not sure what happened to my wife … she’s the only person I know who has ever called in to a sports talk show.
Anyhow, we got to the Dean Dome just in time to see the Tarheel bus pull up. Lining up with the other 40 fans who were there, we got high fives from the whole team. Katie shook Roy William’s hand. BTW, she reports that the jacket he was wearing was cashmere. Carolina blue cashmere! Where does he find that stuff?
It was a great night altogether and if you ever have the chance, I highly recommend greeting the team after a game.
