We just couldn’t miss the National Championship game last night, so we decided to watch it—live on ESPN at 3 in the morning! Will, Nate and I went over to the Nyathis’ house around midnight and were welcomed by UNC sweatshirts and T-shirts draped over the dining room table and chairs and, even better, Carolina blue sheets on the beds! With Mandla, the three of us woke up 10 minutes til tip-off and had a good time watching our alma mater secure its place as the #1 college basketball team in the U.S. We went back to bed around 6 a.m., satisfied and proud of our team but sad to miss the excitement on Franklin Street. Incidentally, the AR House was a house divided this year. To Annie and Rachael Dagani, both MSU grads: sorry about your team… there’s always next year…
CONGRATULATIONS, CAROLINA! 2009 NATIONAL CHAMPS!
