Wow

They actually did it. They won it all. North Carolina Tar Heels, 2005 National Champions.

For some reason, I don't quite believe it yet. Even though I saw that weird-looking trophy in Roy's hands. I'm still in shock. I think I will be for a long time.

Who would have thought two years ago, when we were 8-20 and didn't even have a tournament berth, that we would win it all two years later? When Roy took the job, I predicted to my friend Pax that we'd be back in the Final Four in two years. But I was never arrogant enough to think we'd win.

But here we are. And it's a great place to be.

And contrary to rumor, I am not here tonight. Although it is a testament to how much I love my job that I'm not driving eastward right now. I feel like I should be at the Groundhog on Franklin Street, 500 sheets to the wind. I wonder if there are any trees left on campus?
