re: UNC @ Maryland

UNC will be back. I have no doubts about that. Henson needs to hit the weight room this offseason for real.

Spent all morning yesterday digging out the driveway and loaded up the kids to go to the game in afternoon and then find a place to watch the SB. Got stuck in the snow before getting out of the neighborhood.

But then the good stuff started. Cable was back on and we watched it on tv and then the snow plows came through. and then the Saints did their part. Great day of sports.

Terps have done very well in the gold uniforms the last few years. But they wore the yellow look last home game too; I agree with Baloo that they can overdo it.

Having 4 colors (black, gold, red and white) was going to make it easy to rep the Saints gear, but it was not to be.

Per previous post.

That team does not seem to handle being the defending national champs at all like the team that featured Tyler Hansbrough as a freshman. This recruiting class that Roy brought in were studs coming out of high school, but for some reason thought they could walk on water. The class that came in after 2005 championship featured Hansbrough and mostly program players and they along with the rest of that team seemed to handle being the target better than this team. It did not always show in the win-loss column by Tar Heel expectations, but you never thought for a second at any point that season that they were going to fall flat on their faces like this team appears to be right now.

Hansbrough was a cornerstone recruit that doesn't come along very often. I knew that UNC would miss Lawson, Ellington and Green the most. But I never thought they would be this bad.
