I was talking to my dad yesterday, getting a sort of personalized Final 4 update, and he mentioned that he went to church -- just found a seat in the back somewhere "behind a pillar" -- and when they got to the part where you turn around and greet your neighbor, he turned to find that he was sitting next to Coach K. 

Anyway...enjoy your game today and that basketball game that happens to be going on tonight...

Happy Opening Day... 

Funny...and to think I was making fun of the Pope...he should have dropped my name...just think, 2 Durham guys, worshipping together...did your Dad feel sinful the way your family feels about Coach K and "Dook." 

so, I fall asleep, wake up at midnight, that's 3 o'clock in the eastern time zone...turn on Fox and see Beyond the Glory or whatever it's called and it's "The Unforgettables."  The UK team that "lost" to Duke in 1992...Ashley Judd is narrating the damn thing... 

Good luck tonight...as much as I love you, I couldn't pull for Carolina for a million dollars... 

Seriously, I need you here to proof -- people are scared to "gut" my notes...I miss that from you. 

Take care....have a stress free day...what time is the tip???

No, my dad didn't feel bad at all about the way he feels for Duke. There is a limit even to Catholic guilt. In fact, he said Coach K left just before communion and therefore was going to purgatory, and then he giggled.

I know you could never root for Carolina...it's actually one of the things I love about you, God only knows why. Although what if someone really did offer you a million bucks? That would be awfully hard to turn down. And you could still root against them on the inside. Dad said he and his buddy got offered $900 apiece for their tickets to the game tonight, which tips off at 9:21 eastern, 6:21 pacific. 

The stuff you had me edit was usually fine -- you made me feel bad for not finding enough mistakes. I liked editing you because you actually made changes, unlike certain others who shall remain nameless. I can't get people to edit anything I do here...or I can, but they don't catch things that they should. I do miss editing the game notes. And yes, I know that makes me weird. You can send me stuff you write just for kicks.

Coach likes to leave early not to disturb the priest...and not to have people gawk...by the way, did Dean go to church and take his secretary...

Whatever will we talk about once the game is over tonight? ... It's a very interesting and valid point that you make about Duke. I have to think about that.

Great win, great championship...glad your dad was there...happy Roy was able to include and mention all the KU people...I am sure that gave all the people in Lawrence a warm and fuzzy feeling. 

Didn't hurt as bad since most of the people around me at least won money on the Heels since they had them picked in the pool...and I was sitting by "The Sound" eating seafood... 

...Seriously, glad you are happy... 

Take care...have a good day.

Thanks...I remember how much you enjoyed gloating when the dookies won in '01 so it is nice that you are a good sport about Roy and the Heels. :) Haven't talked to my dad yet but I am sure he is excited...Mom was at the Dean Dome...wish I could've been on Franklin Street...anyway, it was awesome.  

Good win for your [new team] yesterday, too. I didn't realize they had gotten off to such a slow start last year. How was your first AL Opening Day?

Subject :  Hey 

 

...not sure if a true Tar Hole would know what a good sport is, but I will take the compliment... 

What do you think Matt was thinking last night watching his recruits win? 

It was nice the token white guys and 5-foot-4 manager got to hold the trophy. I've been there before...I had to keep that thing in my room after beating Michigan in 1992...everyone came by, did the photo thing, pretty funny... 

By the way, tell your players to keep their shirts on -- they aren't as cute as that soccer chick...still can't get used to the DH...
