Fight! Fight! Fight the Blue and White are rolling to Victory!

Congratulations to the 2009 UNC Tarheels! They entered this season as the most talented group of individuals - by a long shot. However, they also lost a few EASY games. It was great to see them come together and play an extremely good team game. I've now seen four North Carolina Championships, and this team is easily one of my favorites. Hansborough is a gritty, and hard working player. Lawson - the key to this team - is an incredible point guard who easily could have gone Pro last year. Danny Green, from Long Island, has a father who had trouble with the law, and hadn't seen him play in person in a Tarheel uniform due to the terms of his parole. I believe that this postseason was the first time he was allowed to attend his son's games. And finally, Roy Williams. This guy is a class act (as is Michigan State coach Tom Izzo). Match up Coach Williams to Coach K, and there's no comparison.

In 1993 and 2005, I visited Chapel Hill for a game during the season. Apparently, the CAN do it without me.

There'll be a Carolina Victory
When cross the field the foe has fled
Cheer the team to Victory
For we are Tar Heels Born and Bred (Rah! Rah! Rah!)
Glory Glory U.N.C.
Our hearts will live with thee
Fight! Fight! Fight the Blue and White are
Rolling to Victory!
