Oh, That Carolina Team Lost Today

So I’m hanging out at a local coffeehouse this afternoon and a friend approaches me.
He says, “you know Carolina lost today, right?”
And I said “Carolina? The Panthers don’t play until next weekend against the Arizona Cardinals” in the NFL playoffs.
And he said, “no, your beloved Tar Heels lost to Boston College today. That means Pittsburgh is going to be number one tomorrow.”
I pulled out my trusty Blackberry to check ESPN and sure enough the North Carolina Tar Heels were upset and upended by unranked Boston College at Chapel Hill of all places 85-78.
“You’re going to write something about it on that blog you do, right?” my friend asked.
Aww man! Sunday is my off from life!
Oh well…
What’s that now, four top 10 teams losing this week?
Some kid named Tyrese Rice scored 25 points, and another kid named Rakim Sanders had 22 in the big time ACC upset win for Boston College (13-2).
The reason I don’t know who these guys are is because Boston College was picked to finish 11 in the ACC.
We here at College Fast Break only cover winners!
My boy Tyler Hansbrough’s 21 points couldn’t carry the Tar Heels today.
So the Tar Heels (13-1) go down in flames and sit in ninth place in the ACC standings.
I should have known they weren’t going to be that good.
