Man, that was ugly. I realized that, truth be told, I really do want to fast-forward to March. Coaches and players can’t say that, but crazy fans can. I’ve seen this early-season growing pains and injuries all before. The pre-season tourneys in far-off locales. The non-conference cupcake run-ups, the ACC battles. dook.

I just want a banner. Honestly. And I think that, deep down, most UNC fans are thinking the same way.

The one exception, the one moment ahead of the NCAAs that all Tar Heel fans will pay close attention to is Psycho T’s final home game vs. dook. That will be epic.
