How do you feel about North Carolina now Coach?
As a Jayhawk that lived through the Roy Williams to UNC drama with fellow students, I just read the most amazing quote in history, "With NCAA Tournament hopes out of the picture, North Carolina has four games left in the regular season as it fights to keep its record over .500." Well Roy - all I can say is...LOOK AT US NOW...sure is funny how things work out!!! ROCK CHALK!!!
The above is my current facebook status. This morning as I was reading The Wave, an insert in the University Daily Kansan, when I came across an article titled "A 3-horse Race." This article was about three of the most prestiges college basketball programs in the country...Kentucky, North Carolina, and Kansas. Kentucky is the only team in the nation to have 2,000+ victories. North Carolina is two shy of the 2,000 mark and Kansas is four games away. As Kansas is on it's way to sweeping the conference and on the heels of clenching at least a portion of the Big XII title, earning it's head coach his 400th career win, and watching their big man earn the Academic All-American of the Year title, the Jayhawks aren't showing signs of slowing down. The Tarheels on the other hand have had a season that has left a lot to be desired. The journalist responsible for this piece of work has described the Tarheels present with a single sentence that I never dreamed of reading, "With NCAA Tournament hopes out of the picture, North Carolina has four games left in the regular season as it fights to keep its record over .500." North Carolina - the dynasty that was created in Kansas and made who it is today by Coach Dean Smith, the dynasty that Coach Roy Williams left KU for after so much turmoil and the quote heard around the nation, "I don't give a $h!t about North Carolina." Well Coach, regardless of how you felt about North Carolina in that moment, you left...and now, we are rolling on and flying high. We have accomplished something that you were never able to accomplish in all 20 years and now with no remaining Roy Williams recruits we are well on our way to doing so again. So, tell me Coach, how's it feels to win a Championship at a school that you always loved more than Kansas with players you didn't recruit...then to fall short of a tournament appearance with kids that never knew Coach Doherty, kids that YOU recruited!
Well Coach, we still don't give a $h!t about North Carolina, but we sure our in love with our Self! So, I suppose all there is to say now is THANK YOU!!! I didn't understand back then, but I do now...CHANGE IS GOOD...I'm so glad that you left for that school that learned so much from Coach Smith and the Kansas program!
We'll be thinking about you win we beat UNC to 2,000 against Mizzou and claim our Big XII title outright in their house!!! ROCK CHALK!!!
