The first down thumb was mostly non-UNC fans. This down thumb is to the UNC fans who doubted us. We don’t know much about basketball, but we knew our boys in Carolina Blue could do it. You get to celebrate, but feel bad. We expect apologies from all of y’all who doubted — not to us, but to the team who won.
Real heroes
Please thank the people who kept students safe during rushing, who cleaned up after and who kept the town functioning the next day as people poured into the area to celebrate. They deserve way more credit than we can ever give them, but seriously, thank you to everyone who served the community after the win.
So long, farewell
Gonzaga, you played a bad game. You didn’t give it your all. You lost. Your season ended in sadness. To paraphrase Lincoln, people will not long remember what you did and will forget your season. How does it feel? Not great, right? They say failure is a part of life, but at least this year, we don’t know if that’s true.

UNC’s basketball season has come to an end, but the Durham Bulls’ season is just starting. Baseball is a great sport, and the Bulls’ games are a ton of fun. As this semester comes to a close, be sure to head to a game with your friends and enjoy this spring weather. Also, wear UNC colors in case you see Duke fans.
