lol, nice.  However, even that is not a guarantee.  Maybe their next solid coach's arrival won't have the gap that Roy did after Dean Smith retired.  I'm not SWC75, so I don't recall what Syracuse's record was against Dean Smith.  What I do know is I strongly disliked UNC long before Roy or the ill-fated move to the ACC...and is why I had hoped some of the anger directed at UConn would be redirected toward them.  Maybe today will help the chances?

Being Brady was in the house, I think Roy's owning of the Cuse is analogous to Brady's owning of the AFC East for so many years.  I'm glad greater numbers seem to be recognizing it and making me feel less alone in my feelings toward them.   Our boys can even manage to beat Duke, but UNC seems to be our Kryptonite.  Some may remember the first game after the title game loss to Indiana was against UNC.  Pete Chilcutt took a jumper at the end of regulation that bounced off the rim high into the air, only to still find its way through the net.  UNC won in OT.  And that was a heck of a Cuse roster that lost that day, no excuses about lack of talent.

Senior Christmas disappeared when his turn redeem us came, as I mentioned earlier.  My best friend growing up was a UNC fan, so that might have influenced my dislike even more.  I'm trying to remember if it was the announcers or someone on here who mentioned the amount of powder blue in the Dome today, which was salt in the already festering wound.
