When Carolina won its last championship, I was there. Kathy and I went to the Dean Dome, cheered with a ridiculous number of people, and then joined the masses on Franklin Street.
This year, my experience was a bit different, to say the least. I was the lone Carolina fan watching in Diosd, I'm pretty sure! I watched alone online (thank you, ncaa.com)in my classroom [but Kathy and I did do a little trans-Atlantic text cheering], and when I left this morning, there was definitely no one out celebrating in the streets! It was 6:15 -- just enough time to run home, shower, take a quick nap, and come back to teach! It's much more fun to watch with people -- but the victory was still pretty sweet!
I'm so pleased.
Here's a timelapse video I found of the celebration on Franklin Street. I was there in spirit, anyway! :)

It's going to be a long day, as I'm singing tonight for a special worship evening here at the school. But totally worth it.
and just for fun --
May this kid see many, many more wins!
Couldn't you hear the cheers from Nashville, NC??? That little kid was precious........See you soon!!!
