<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=3>The Chapel Hill Gang wins a title and gets Roy
Williams his first NCAA Men's Basketball Championship. They sneak
ahead of Duke, by four championships to three, to compound a bad
situation. And then, a Wolfpack alum feels the need to celebrate the UNC
title AND denigrate my Blue Devils?!!!</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial><FONT size=3><FONT>Have you forgotten that the Tar Heels
would smugly refer to themselves as THE University of North Carolina and cheer
"if you can't go to college, go to State"? How many times did you gag over
that pitiful, pastel, baby blue, UNC color that overruns the entire state, in
t-shirts from the Beach to the mountains and every mall and BBQ joint in
between? Why</FONT> feed Tar Heel Nation's mistaken sense of
superiority? Have you forgotten that infernal bumper sticker on every
other motor vehicle in the state: "If This Isn't Heaven, Why did God make
the Sky Carolina Blue?"</FONT></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=3>You cheer a victory for the "Home state," but say a
Duke championship would be the "worst" thing? Are not my Devils the third
point in the Triangle (Durham, Raleigh, and Chapel Hill, all within 20 miles or
less of each other, for you northwesterners), and also within your "home
state"? Like Jimmy V, we Dukies are just looking for a hug,
too.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=3>Sure, Duke imported a few Yankees for diversity,
"damn Yankees," as my NC-native roomie referred to me on more than one
occasion. SOMEBODY had to compete with the Tar Heels and give them a sense
of humility, since the Wolf Pack wouldn't. Is this unwarranted, spiteful
attack on my Devils just a result of pent up frustration from Duke beating
NC State like a drum for 20 years? </FONT></DIV>

<DIV>While I wish it could have been NC State, having the Tarheels win the
2005 NCAA championship is the next best thing. (Just for reference,
having Duke as the 2005 champions would have been the
<STRONG>WORST</STRONG> thing. My favorite team is NCSU; my second
favorite is whoever's playing the Blue Devils.)</DIV>

<DIV>Hip, hip, hooray for my home state! <BR><BR>Joan Opyr/Auntie
