UNC Basketball: Part Deux

My alarm went off at 7:30 saturday morning, which is actually sleeping in an extra two hours for me (if you believe that!) and I got up and got ready to head down to UNC for the day. The weather was absolutely amazing. About half way through the drive once the sun started to warm stuff up, I rolled down all the windows and cranked the music. One of the highways has a nice 'high' speed limit of 70mph too, so I just set the cruise to 80mph and was down in Chapel Hill in no time!

I met up with my sister and we headed over to the student store to get me a new carolina blue shirt (the only one I had was grey) for the game later that afternoon. After a quick lunch we headed over to the Dean Dome, and waited in line to get in. We had phase 1 tickets, which means of all the student tickets, we get to go in sooner, which in turn means better seats. We were probably 15 rows back from the court just behind the visitors bench, GREAT seats. We were in by probably 1:45.......the game started at 4:00. So we had some time to kill. I mostly just took in the atmosphere, very energetic. No wonder NBA games suck so bad!

The game was awesome. So much energy in that place, especially right before tip-off when the house speakers were blasting 'Jump Around' and the place was going nuts. Very very cool to be there for that. I took a short video clip too which you can see at the end of the post after the pictures. UNC beat up on UVA, just as my previous post would indicate. The (almost) 8 hours of driving in one day were totally worth it. Plus on my way home I stopped at Bojangles and picked up 3 half gallons of their sweet tea! Here are some more pictures, and the video. Enjoy.
