Don’t say what game, because there is [Only One Game](http://tarheelblue.collegesports.com/sports/m-baskbl/unc-m-baskbl-body.html)! I work in the building next to the Dean Dome, and the news trucks are already coming in (well, at least NBC17 is already here). Only 7 hours left! Whether they win or lose, it’s gonna get crazy on Franklin Street tonight. I’ll be safe at home, far away from the madness. No smashing and burning for me tonight. And I got a cute little Carolina blue mini-basketball to play with while I’m watching the game. Even the sky is Carolina blue today! Go Heels!!! ---

I didn’t follow college ball when I was in college. I certainly don’t plan to start now. So you can watch my share! ---

'Eh, I barely have enough time to follow my Nets (damnit, 'Sixers! Give up that eighth spot already!), so I really don’t pay any attention to college ball. The buzz around the office is that Carolina will take this one in a walk, however. ---

**Hal** , I hope so! 🆒 **FCM** , I’ll be watching for you! I have energy to spare! And my nifty little Carolina blue mini-basketball (from now on, I’ll call it my NLCBMBB for short), so I can throw it at the TV if things don’t go so well. Which isn’t going to happen. ---

> [@Kythereia](#): > > Er…? > > I’m so hopelessly lost. Who’s playing who? [NCAA Basketball college championship](http://www.wral.com/sports/4341142/detail.html)–UNC vs Illinois. I wouldn’t care about it if Carolina wasn’t playing. ---

Thankyou! _snog_ I’ll cheer for Carolina, just for you. 😉 ---

I’ll be watching my Baylor Bears play Michigan State for the national championship. Go Lady Bears! ---

I hate that it’s on so late, though. Just because I work at Carolina doesn’t mean I get any time off tomorrow morning if I watch the game. Ugh. ---

> [@romansperson](#): > > I hate that it’s on so late, though. Just because I work at Carolina doesn’t mean I get any time off tomorrow morning if I watch the game. Ugh. It should be a University holiday, shouldn’t it? No one really pays attention to what time I come in, so I can come in late. I’m sure a lot of people will be calling in sick tomorrow. And if a bonfire gets out of hand, this building could burn down, so I might not have a place to work tomorrow, anyway. 🙂 Thanks **Kythereia**! ---

I’m such a fair weather fan, but I’m getting caught up in the spirit of things- even wearing the approved color. It’s really neat to walk around campus and see how much blue is out there. Count me as one of the luckies who can go in to work a little later in the morning. ---

> [@sWitchazel](#): > > I’m such a fair weather fan, but I’m getting caught up in the spirit of things- even wearing the approved color. Yeah, me too. I don’t care about sports usually. I do like basketball, but I only watch it if it’s a big game. Carolina vs Duke is usually good, unless UNC is having a bad year. Then it’s just depressing. This is going to be a close game! ---

It’s May’s birthday today, which helps account for the fact that he’s TOTALLY SPANKING IT all over the court tonight. TIED! ARGH! NO! YES! THREE-POINTER! NO! TWO-POINTER! YES! NO! YESSSSSSS! GO! NO!

Now that was a good game! 75-70! Woooohoooo!!! UNC! UNC! UNC! UNC! UNC! UNC! UNC! UNC! UNC! UNC! UNC! UNC! UNC! UNC! UNC! UNC! UNC! UNC! UNC! UNC! UNC! UNC! UNC! UNC! That was a little too close for comfort, but it had a happy ending! 🙂 I can’t believe it’s over. ☹ ---
