Finally

I love sports and football is one of my favorite sports. It is so much fun to watch and every play is exciting. I had an awesome time cheering for Carolina football, even if they weren’t as good as everyone thought they might be this year. Hell, TJ Yates is one of the brothers in my frat, so I have mad loyalty to the team. But it’s finally the best time of the year because the real season is starting: Basketball Season.

Basketball is and always has been my favorite sport. I’ve played it for as long as I can remember and was even a part of the North Carolina High School Men’s Basketball State Championship Team last year. The championship game was held in none other than the Dean Dome. Biggest thrill of my life. Playing on the court that has so much history and that so many great players have played on. Pretty f-ing unbelievable.
So, clearly, I love basketball and was pumped when UNC won the national championship last year, not long after I got to win states. But I’m going to tell you why our team is going to win it all again this year:

Yes, we (I use the word ‘we’ because it is easier that saying the UNC Men’s Basketball team, I myself am not on the team, obviously) did lose four of our five starters and leading scorers. Yes, all of them are extremely hard to replace. And yes, we aren’t ranked number one this year like we were last year. But none of that matters. All that matters is that we have a hell of a lot of talent and, once all the pieces come together, which they will, UNC is national championship bound.

Many “experts” are saying that our team is too young to be considered in the running for the national championship because the lack of experience will lead to critical mistakes at critical times. But I think we will overcome this and, despite maybe having a few roadblocks during the season, will be a mature, dangerous team come March.
