Tar Heel Basketball, Proven Excellence
Tuesday, April 7th, 2009Though I wished UNC had clinched the ACC championship, tonight’s 89-72 stomping of Michigan State provided a conclusive and satisfying end to UNC’s great 2009 basketball season.
In case you haven’t heard the rumble rolling forth from Downtown, UNC fans are as jubilant as the players.
I’ve had the uncanny luck to have seen the 1982, 1993, 2005 and, now, the 2009 national championship celebrations and this one, at least as of 1:35am, seemed to be one of the best managed – no burning cars, major fires or parking lots full of triaged injured fans. Kudos to Town staff, UNC/Chapel Hill/State and local law enforcement, our fire and rescue personnel (who, I presume, missed most of the game prepping for the turnout) and all the other folks that made this year’s celebration a reasonably safe affair.
Congratulations to Roy Williams, the team and the University for an exciting demonstration of excellence.
