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.

There was once a time that I had a Friday “regular” post, called Friday Thawts.  I also did “Monday Mawnings”, which was usually a reflection on the weekend’s events. 

As of now, I officially resurrect those days.

Today’s thawts…

• The freakin’ UNC Tar Heels have got their work cut out for them against Syracuse tonight.  Ohio State knocked on the door hard last night, but the Orangemen will BRING IT.  That junk basketball the boys in blue have been playing won’t cut it tonight.  I’m afraid we’ll lose by 10.  Cross your fingers that I’m wrong.
• Green Bay Packers vs. San Fancisco 49ers – Of course I want the Pack to win.  I know they CAN.  Whether they actually show up or not is another question.  Pack by 3.
• Nascar – Grrrrr.  I hate racing. 
• Crossroads is voting on a new pastor this week.  I’m looking forward to God doing amazing things.  
• Crossroads is giving away free Christmas portraits to non-members in the community.  I love it. 
• Got some news this morning that Precision Products may get really busy in the next few months.  Praise God for that!
• I don’t like it when my kids are sick.
• I need to get back on my exercise program.

I was not impressed with my Tar Heels last night. 

Too many turnovers, too few defensive rebounds, and too little production in the last five minutes.

“We’ve got this one under control” seemed to be the prevailing thought.

Even Dick Vitale couldn’t see how they could possibly lose.  He SAID that. 

Well, he was right, but he was nearly wrong. 

Never quit.  The game isn’t over until it’s OVER. 

Step up.  Life is full of ups and downs.  Go hard.

Finally, the UNC Tar Heels win an ACC football game.

When I say they can’t win, they win.

But at least they’ve broken the jinx of losing every time I watch them.

That’s good.

Get ‘em, Heels!
