I loved going to those games on perfect Saturdays with blue skies, but I really don't expect or care that much how the Heels do and I really haven't seen Amos Famous Lawrence laced up his shoes. UNC is a basketball school and hopefully it always will be. You can't be both on a sustained basis--look at USC and UCLA--pick one and be happy if you are on top. Having said that, it will be nice if they can actually finish above .500 for a change. UNC was 7-0 and number 3 or 4 my freshman year and then tanked badly.

I think 7-5 is where we will be, but I'd love to be wrong, and would welcome anything better. I still think we are two or three years away from breaking into the top 20 nationally, but success this year could speed that up a bit. BTW, we're going to the McNeese State game this weekend, and managed to get some 50 yard line seats. Hopefully I'll have trouble seeing the game because everyone is standing up and cheering on our guys as they win their first one. Nice job on pre-capping the season.
