The last time we won the National Championship I was living in San Francisco, and was lucky enough to have friends who were from North Carolina and who hosted a party the night of the finals. We put money into a pot which allowed us to bet on the sum of the final score. I don't remember anymore what my individual scores were, but my sum won and I got the pot. Eighty bucks I think. And a Carolina victory. That was truly sweet.
Last night I couldn't find my T-shirt from that 1993 victory, but I did go to sleep in my Carolina Alumni sweatshirt. Actually I only just realised that it was my Carolina sweatshirt. I wore it to bed because it's a bit chilly in my apartment and since it's April, they've already turned off the heat. That said, I'm sure that on a sub-conscious level I knew what I was wearing because it could just as well have been my Pink Panther sweatshirt, but it wasn't.
Okay. And to my brother who was at the game, I sincerely hope my NEW shirt is in the post...

I was so nervous I could not look at the game. I watched something else. I do not remember; checked out the game during the breaks. You should have seen Franklin street. I think there were 20+ barnfires, a guy swinging from the street sign trying to get it down and people everywhere. It was estimated on the local channel that there were 10,000+.

Love, peace & joy
