University of North Carolina -- NCAA Basketball Champions

Congratulations to the University of North Carolina Tarheels basketball team and Head Coach Roy Williams. As they say, "If God is not a Tarheel, then why is the sky Carolina Blue?" -- D.H.

Bruce Weber has a new point of view.
While orange was his favorite hue,
Roy Williams and Heels
Let him see how it feels
For his walls to turn suddenly blue.

There is a famous Tarheel legend surrounding this Confederate monument at the main quad at U.N.C. :

Every time a virgin female student walks by, the soldier fires his musket in salute.

To this day he is still known as Silent Sam.
