I'm off, it's Basketball season!

It's the first real home game of the year in the church of basketball Dean Dome, and they're playing the Men of Troy. Good thing the USC B-ball team is nowhere near as good as the football team.

Guess we weren't the only ones cheering for SC last night in Chapel Hill.

Anyway, Darling Husband got the tickets for his birthday, so we're going to go and root for both teams (well, what else do you do when you have a diploma from each place???), although I suspect we'll end up cheering for the Tar Heels.

In honor of the beginning of basketball season, the UNC alma mater, Hark the Sound:

Hark the sound of Tar Heel voices
Ringing clear and True
Singing Carolina's praises
Shouting N.C.U.

Hail to the brightest Star of all
Clear its radiance shine
Carolina priceless gem,
Receive all praises thine.

I'm a Tar Heel born, I'm a Tar Heel bred
And when I die I'm a Tar Heel dead.
So it's RAH, RAH, Car'lina 'lina
RAH, RAH, Car'lina 'lina
RAH, RAH, Car'lina
RAH! RAH! RAH!

'Neath the oaks the sons true hearted
Homage pay to thee
Time worn walls give back their echo
Hail to U.N.C.

Though the storms of life assail us
Still our hearts beat true
Naught can break the friendships formed at
Dear old N.C.U.

Don't forget to stomp.

Update: Tar Heels Win! 97-65. They led by as much as 38 before Roy put in the Frosh.
