Carolina blue is weeping these days. The mighty, mighty Tarheels were clobbered by Coach Roy Williams' former team, Kansas.
Franklin Street, the major Carolina party spot in Chapel Hill, was considerably more subdued as students and fans left the various bars where they had watched the d trainwreck.
I regard it as a great third of a game of UNC basketball. The Tarheels over came a 28 point deficit to pull back to within 4 points with about ten minutes left, and thgings were looking good. Then the bottom fell out again and Kansas won 84-66.
Watched the game at Mom's here in Goldsboro.
The next day at church, this was the major topic of conversation. One older gent was especially given a hard time because of his big-time support of the Tarheels.
He said it the loss was inevitable because of superstitious things that had occurred beforehand Saturday. He had watched an old movie about the west and they kept referring to Jayhawks, Jayhawks, Jayhawks. Then, his son, a huge Duke fan, came over to view the game with him. Then, he got some phone calls early in the game, always a bad luck thing.
The April 6th Goldsboro News-Argus summed it up very well. "Tarheels outgunned at Alamo."

Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
