Carolina Just Took A Big Ole Bite Of Humble Pie

What a great week of late November college basketball. Earlier in the week we had Thornton's Maui Miracle, and now, to wrap things up, we have the joy of Roy's bunch falling hard from their lofty perch. I'm the first to admit that North Carolina is loaded this year, but after today's 90-80 loss to unranked UNLV it's obvious they're not perfect. I know this game will be largely irrelevant come March. The 2005 UNC National Championship squad lost to an unknown Santa Clara team in late November in the same fashion. But how can you not enjoy seeing the looks on their faces, and that coveted little "1" drop from next to their name? There's not much better on nights that Duke is off than highly touted Tar Heel teams losing to inferior opponents. I'm going to enjoy this while it lasts. Re-bels! Re-bels! Re-bels!
