Next up: Just another manic Monday

So my dear Tar Heels have pulled through against Michigan State, setting up a final match-up against the evil, evil Illini of Illinois.

Whatever happens Monday night, I will always be proud of the boys in baby blue, particularly Jawad Williams, Jackie Manuel and Melvin Scott, who dealt with the indignity of the 8-20 season their Freshman year, and now find themselves playing for the national title. This will be Carolina's first appearance in the title game since the 1983 1993 title game, but this feel so much more special than that championship team. Best of luck to the Tar Heels on Monday.

And thanks to everyone who was at Brother Jimmy's and made for finger licking good times.
