UNC/Dook quick hits

Ok, tonight is UNC/Dook at Cameron Indoor Stadium. Here are some quick thoughts about the best rivalry in college hoops.

1. Dook is 20 points better than UNC this year on paper. We are loaded with freshmen who play like freshmen and upper classmen who play like . . . freshmen. We could set a record for turnovers tonight.
2. If Coach K can run it up, he will. He's not going to back off. He is a worm, and he's been owned by Roy lately. Make no mistake, Roy and Rat Face don't like each other. Mikey had it too good for too long. Then Roy came to town and has cut the nets down twice since Mikey has been to a final four. Mikey has even resorted to tell Roy how to coach his team and never did apologize for Gerald Henderson breaking Hansbrough's nose a couple years ago. Of course, UNC just kept its cool and kept winning. They're probably not going to win this game, so I hope they keep their cool.
3. This is a tough game for me, because I can't think of a Dook team I hate less than this one. They're not a bunch of punks. I don't think they're the number four team in the nation, but they're not a bunch of punks. They're aiight. But they are Dook, and I still want to win.
4. Remember what I said about Mikey? He has extra incentive to blow Roy out tonight, because Roy just stole the number one 2010 recruit in the nation out from under him at the last minute. Of course, Coach K has had a harder time recruiting in the last few years. That has something to do with Roy and something also to do with the fact that your greatest player of all time is Christian Laettner. Advantage: Tar Heels.
5. All I want is for them not to be wide-eyed. Go in with a little arrogance and play like you expect to win. I need to see Leslie McDonald stick some big shots. I need to see Will Graves vocally lead this team. I need to see Larry Drew play within himself and Deon Thompson to get his head out of his rear. Dexter Strickland needs to show me he's going to be the man who deserves to wear that number 5. And John Henson needs to play tall and block shots down low. The main thing is, just play like you expect to win.

All I know is that I'm Tivoing it so that I can fast forward through the rough parts. You know, like the first 37 minutes?
