I like Rammer even more now. He should have cut you off mid sentence with a forearm shiver to your chops. Never approach Rammer after a loss...never.
Rammer wouldn't even turn around and acknowledge me. He was staring at the stat sheet as if it was a Dead Sea Scroll. Earl kind of rolled his eyes when he realized that Rammer wasn't moving, and listened as I told him how much I appreciate their broadcasts over here in Nawth Kahlana.

I didn't ask anybody to forfeit anything.
However, in a perfect world, NC wouldn't be playing in the NIT. (And not because they screwed us out of a spot.) The NIT is an also-ran, meaningless title nowadays -- and, like the CBI, it's a money grab from the participating schools. The money is simply lining two different pockets.
There's a reason the NCAA doesn't hold third-place games anymore.
So what, you have to be in it to win it. I always liked what Dave Odom said while Wake was in the 2000 NIT which they went on to win. He said: "It's not the national championship but it's "a" national championship."
For us Wake fans(I love SLU too) that was a fun ride. Good attendance at all three home games and then a trip to the Garden. Enjoy your team playing, improving and winning.

Ridiculous, give Rickma back his charters. Rick how about cooling it on the hatred of the A10. There, everyone shake hands and let's board the charter.

-unc played at carmichael, not the dean dome, i think capacity is about 9 or 10k but not sure, that was a long time ago...
UNC did play at Carmichael Arena once known as Carmichael Auditorium. Dean Dome had previously scheduled renovations going on. Carmichael originally sat about 8200 unitl they removed the permanent seats, and went to bench seating sometime in the mid 70s. This increased capacity to about 9200. With the renovations there(and it was a junkpile with terrible acoustics,) and return of individual seating, it holds 6228 now. Therefore, the "Tarholes"(as us Carolina haters like to call them) had a sellout last night.
BTW, the favorite saying among us Carolina haters here in the great state of NC is "Are you sure that's tar on those heels."

Earl is awesome. You should have heard him wheezin' after Kwamain crossover(s) drive. It was four wheezer. Just kept going on and on!
After the Charlotte game, I went down to press row to try to meet him and Rammer. Rammer was pissed about the OT loss and was incommunicado, but Earl was really nice and let me chat him up for a minute. I love listening to the Rammer and Earl call our games, but Rammer, don't take it so seriously.

Illinois vs Stonybrook

Thought it was interesting that Stony Brook's coach had a four year record of something like 30-80 prior to this breakthrough year. They have some nice players and their crowd was terrific.
The Memphis St. John's game was terrific and the Memphis crowd was outstanding. Very much like an NCAA Tourney game. Memphis wins at the buzzer by two.
