[virginia @ carolina, 03.01.06]
happy birthday to dean smith, the winningest men's coach in college basketball history, who turned 75 today. dean, if you'd kept coaching, you'd have hit 1100 victories by now, but THE ROY would probably still be sans title, so i'm willing to make the trade.
oh, ROY. he started all the seniors, that's right, it's senior night, it's only fair and proper that he started all these seniors, but he started four seniors and bobby. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
(so it's fight, fight, fight for carolina, as davie did in days of old, as we rally round the well, cheer our tarheel team like hell, for the glory of ncu)
shit, we've already missed two free throws and it's only three minutes into the game. TEAMS THAT DON'T MAKE FREE THROWS DON'T WIN GAMES. on the other hand: virginia may very well already be in foul trouble.
(SHIT, SHIT, 45 SECONDS LEFT IN FSU/DOOK AND FSU IS WINNING. GOD DAMN.)
(HOLY SHIT, FLORIDA STATE DID IT. HOLY FUCKING SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT. there is pretty much no reason ever that i would want to be in tallahassee, but tonight, tonight there is.)
(and now, on rushing the court: it's understandable. but it's tacky, and it's unsafe, and can you imagine what happens when all 21,000 fans in the dean dome try to rush the court? BADNESS. the first duke game on the hill they had the security guys out there with five minutes left, because it was close and it was carolina and duke and THE ROY hates it when the fans rush the court, and okay, maybe they didn't figure that florida state would win, but still, jesus. if i was a parent and that was my kid out there, playing and being trampled by fans? i'd be pissed as hell. christ.)
(yes, all of us are from unc, and you can betcha we're proud to be the taaaaarheels on hand)
now i shall say some nice things about virginia, for girlfromsouth: dave leitao is a great coach; he should be coach of the year in the acc, but for roy having turned a miracle with a bunch of babies. virginia whips the ball around the perimeter like nobody's business; it's a lovely quick offense that's frequently painful to look at it, it moves so fast, and carolina hasn't defended it well.
now i shall say some bad things about carolina: seriously, you assholes, i know where you all live, and if you keep turning the ball over like that, KERI AND I WILL NOT BRING YOU JELLO SHOTS. also, THE ROY: weird matchup zone working poorly. PERHAPS REVISE PRE-DUKE, THANKS.
now i shall say some nice things about carolina, because they are my wee boys and i love them: bobby has decided that the offense is, in fact, his problem, and not just in terms of handing out assists. this is a good thing. this is a good, good, good thing. also, david noel: peaking at exactly the right time in his senior season.
how sad is it that i'm not even comfortable with a 25 point lead? carolina can be up 35 with four seconds left, and i'm STILL afraid they'll blow it.
a word at halftime: why, whyyyyyyyy, do the tarheels have "carolina" on the ass of their shorts? WHO IS THAT CLOSE TO THEIR ASSES WHO NEEDS TO KNOW THAT THEY PLAY FOR CAROLINA? i just don't get it.
(hark the sound of tarheel voices, ringing clear and true, singing carolina's praises, shouting ncu)
six players with three pointers. HOT DAMN. and marcus again for three. oh, freshmen, I LOVE YOU. let me buy you beers.
dear ROY: in case you care, we prefer the pin-stripes. love, min
god, seriously, people: my all-time favorite carolina team had george lynch playing for it, but i love these babies and scrubs and benchwarmers so much; last year, david noel averaged 3.4 points a game and tonight he had 26. and then he cried. david has suffered through SO MUCH with this team, and he's the only senior starter, and just. just. *hands*
tyler should shoot more three pointers. WHAT? I'M JUST SAYING, AND I'MMA KEEP SAYING UNTIL HE DOES.
n'awwwwww, THE ROY put the babies in. AND LOOKIT THE ROY SMILING. SO MUCH LOVE. and you know what? mike copeland's gonna be something else next year, i'm telling you now.
to conclude two quotes about tyler:Carolina coach Roy Williams said he had to teach freshman center Tyler Hansbrough one important lesson for his rookie season in the ACC to be successful: "What time the bus leaves," Williams said as he broke out into a loud, hearty laugh.- from Jerry Ratcliffe
Rookie of the year: Another runaway. North Carolina lost its top seven scorers from last year's national championship squad. What it gained was Tyler Hansbrough. He's tough. He's unflappable. He's a load in the low post and on the glass. He'll be illegal if he develops a jump shot. - from Bob Lipper in Richmond
i have some things to say about hiring and firing, the snyder scandal emerging out of missouri (oh, quinn, you make me so sad and sorry i ever said bad things about you, please get better and stop being so crazy soon), who's going to win it all (not nova, i take it back), but i am tired and cranky and i have to post-mortem with the male parental unit, so maybe tomorrow instead. *kisskiss*
