Everyone knows by now that the University of North Carolina Tar Heels won on Monday, April 4, 2005. Roy finally got one and would have agreed with the late Al Maguire when he said that winning was all "seashells and balloons."
I thought that following would be a more interesting post:
My commentary from the NCAA Championship Game on April 4
North Carolina:
-[On a missed free throw]
What are you doing? There is no margin for error here!
-[On yet another turnover to Illinois]
What are you doing? This is no fcuking Christmas!
(Yes, I intentionally spelled it that was. Incidentally "fcuk" is the acronym for the apparel store 'French Connection,' more specifically 'French Connection United Kingdom.')
-[On yet another Sean May rebound]
Na Na Na Na Heh Heh Heh
-[On Sean May again-note I did not originally say "ball player"]
That is a big old ball player!

North Carolina and Illinois
North Carolina and Illinois are the two left standing. What a wild ride it has been.
I wonder about such things. One of my pet theories is that lacking "daring dos" and hunting for food, men turn to these events as a way to relive the glory days of long ago while living out their lives of quiet desparation.
I came across this:

I thought it was great! I always liked the Black Panther and thought that his situation was interesting. He was the land version almost of Prince Namor, who unfortunately got more mileage in the past than he did. Admittedly, I have not collected Black Panther in a while. I should check out the graphic novels. I have the Green Lantern/Green Arrow team up graphic novels, dated though they were.
I suppose I will be behind Roy Williams and North Carolina since I was behind Roy when he was at Kansas. While I hated that Kansas didn't win, I reconciled myself to Syracuse winning. Boeheim deserved it. "Spiderman," "Captain America," "The Black Panther" and the gang outplayed "Batman", "Robin," Nightwing" and their gang. Now, I know that Brian Weber and the Illini will be the fan favorites especially since Weber's mother's death during the postseason will be the emotional hook story as Lute Olson's wife's death was the hook for Arizona. But, as Arizona's loss to Duke in 2001 showed, the emotional favorite doesn't always win.
I am banking on the fact that somehow, those boys (and girls at times) in North Carolina-be it North Carolina, NC State or Duke-manage to get it done.

Have you ever seen the rain?
Normally, not a huge CCR (Creedence Clearwater Revival) fan but this is one of my favorite songs, especially since it was featured in my favorite show, CBS's "Cold Case." The sequence at the end where they lead the criminal away and the rain falls down with the music as a backdrop was striking. When I noticed that Shaun Cassidy was one of the executive producers I went, "Oh, okay." Though nowadays I see Tim Matheson's name here and again.
