The stakes were a bit different: if Laettner missed, Kentucky won. If Jenkins had missed, Villanova still had overtime. Like the 1992 game, there were two great plays at the end: UNC’s admirable Marcus Paige hit an astounding, double clutch three pointer to tie the game before Jenkins hit his epic game winner. Some other things were different as well. In years past, before the UNC scandals destroyed the university’s reputation, the Tar Heels were seen as a model program. That’s not the case anymore. After the massive scandal, which saw nearly two decades of academic fraud among a host of other problems, the whole idea of the UNC Way was shattered. There’s not enough glue in the world to fix it. After the scandal, we see that UNC is no better than Auburn, Kentucky, Fresno State or UNLV.

For example, in Exodus 28:42: “And thou shalt make them linen breeches to cover their nakedness; from the loins even unto the thighs they shall reach . . .” Isaiah 47:2-3, adds “Take the millstones, and grind meal: uncover thy locks, make bare the leg, uncover the thigh, pass over the rivers. Thy nakedness shall be uncovered, yea, thy shame shall be seen.” Exodus and Isaiah certainly suggest that exposing the thighs is exposing one’s nakedness. And up until a few decades ago, this seemed to be a concept that Christians and non-Christians alike shared as a general moral compass for our society. Not any more. But the Bible speaks for itself. And, if God believes that exposing the thighs is being naked, what does this say about female cheerleading outfits? It says that female cheerleaders today are naked. In other words, if you are a female cheerleader today, you are a naked person in public, at least in God’s eyes. If you are a parent of a cheerleader, you are a parent of a girl/woman who exposes her nakedness to all that are watching. And, yes, this means that NBA players in the 1970’s were naked too. This is a standard that applies to both genders–male and female–do not expose your nakedness by exposing your thighs. ...[/I] [IMG]http://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/UMEAAOxy4fVTAM7M/s-l1600.jpg[/IMG] [B][URL="http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Mens-Syracuse-University-SU-Orange-Basketball-Baseball-Cap-Hat-Blue-Plaid-/361723358461"]NEW Men's Syracuse University SU Orange Basketball Baseball Cap Hat Blue Plaid[/URL] [/B](ebay.com) [I]New: A brandnew, unused, unopened, undamaged item in its original packaging (where packaging is applicable).

The outgoing Miss America, Betty Cantrell, placed the crown on the head of her successor.
