So, I feel rather silent tonight.  I really haven’t encountered anything today, as best I can remember, that I even wanted to blog about.  Normally, in the course of a day, I catch myself thinking “I could blog that!” at least two or three times.

Not today.  Maybe my brain is in some type of Minor Idiocy mode, where only vital functions occur.  My chess games at www.chess.com have definitely NOT been successful today, so I think it’s fair to say that I’m not thinking very clearly.

More caffeine tomorrow may be necessary.

It’s a tough year to be a ‘Heels fan, but I still love Carolina Blue. 

As a Christian, it’s easy to give up when the record gets this bad, but the games keep coming.  Sin keeps hitting us, never tiring. 

Get up.  Keep fighting to win.  The past is discouraging but cannot be changed. 

Always give it all.

The losing streak is finally snapped as the Heels bring one home from the road. 

You know it stinks when the game is so critical yet you can’t hardly find the score because neither team is ranked.

Wake up, Tar Heels.  Y’all looking so bad that I’m actually excited about Nascar.

And that is BAD.

• I “wrote” a really cool version of “O, Come All Ye Faithful” and even videoed it so I can remember it.  (Video will NOT be posted, don’t worry.) OKAY…

Well, it was even worse than I thought.

The Orangemen, as I expected, just brought the Tar Heel house of cards down. 

I’m disappointed, but I’m not.  The Heels needed to lose, and now is a good time.  They’ve been playing absolutely terrible basketball, and they are too talented to get by with it.  They needed a reality check.  I’m glad for it to come now. 

I expect the Heels to finish 2nd or 3rd in the ACC and possibly make the Sweet Sixteen in the NCAA.  Anything better than that will be pure icing on my cake and I will be pleasantly surprised.

I still love ‘em, though.
