Wow...this was a great week if you are a fan of the University of North Carolina Tar Heels. In nearly any sport.
The men's basketball team played a thrilling game against the ESPN/USA Today #1 ranked team.....Ohio State...this past Wednesday and came away a winner, 98-89. It was the kind of game Heels fans loved to see since it was against one of the top teams in the nation and there was some adversity they came back from in the game.
Three days later, the Heels closed the gap in the ol' All Time Winningest Program battle with Kentucky....a game that was stuttering but that UNC had control of during most of the 2nd half.
The #2 ranked women's hoops team took on Tennessee, in the biggest game in the women's game to date. The Heels dominated the 2nd half and beat the Lady Vols, 70-57.
Earlier in the day, the women's soccer team won it's 18th National Championship. That soccer team is as dominant as any tem the school has.
And, the feel good of all this, is that new football coach Butch Davis has been making the rounds at all the events to help put his presence in Carolina's eyes.....and Carolina's presence in his. And he takes over a program that, despite being horrid this year, did beat NC State and Duke.
Not a bad week.
