*Nothing new this morning on the guy who drove through the UNC Pit yesterday. We're thinking some about how we might address the incident at our IV Large Group meeting on Thursday before students head off to Spring Break next week.
*In much more trivial news--there's a pretty big basketball game tonight between UNC and Dook. I know that I'm biased, but I think that you could easily make the case that UNC-Dook is not only the best rivalry in college basketball, it's not even just the best rivalry in all of college sports. It just may be the best rivalry in all of sports, period. To wit: students tell me that ESPN, ESPN2, and ESPNU are all broadcasting the game. ESPN will broadcast the 'normal' camera angle, the Deuce will broadcast above the rim, and ESPNU will focus on the Cameron Crazies. I read somewhere that the average margin of victory was 5 points for the last 6 meetings. No where else do you have two teams, so geographically close together, that play each other twice a year, that so consistently lives up to the hype and intensity.
*I'm very pleased to announce that as of today I'm no longer a dial-up person; Kelly's dad and step-mom got me DSL for my birthday. I was trying hard to keep it a secret from my students, they would have mocked me incessantly...
*If you don't normally check in on the comments, check out the last couple day's worth on group think and faith stages, there's been some good discussion going on.
*My pick for tonight's match-up: Dook 88, UNC 80. I don't like the fact that for most of our team it'll be their first time in Cameron, I think they'll be a little rattled early on. But I like UNC's chances going into next week's ACC Tournament, and I think that if we get another chance at Dook on a neutral floor we've got a good chance to win one. But that's all speculation for next week.
