Last night, basketball got off to a fun start. Greg Cody inexplicably swaggered in here today on behalf of North Carolina. That poor, downtrodden, sad sack franchise that needs the defense because it is such a great underdog. Greg Cody stormed in here today and said, even though he didn't know who San Diego State was... North Carolina vindicated after West Virginia's governor came after them.
They were maligned. They're not that bad. They're better than West Virginia. And everybody was acting like West Virginia was wrong. Oh, my God.
That wasn't the game last night. That wasn't the game to be talking about last night.
OK, it wasn't because the Alabama State game, the St. Francis Alabama State game was more exciting. However, I do want to just linger on this for a second because it's the fastest that any one of our takes has ever aged well. Like we yesterday were like, oh, my God, governor of West Virginia, get over yourself. Like we're splitting hairs, blah, blah, blah. This is why North Carolina should be in.
This is why they are in, blah, blah, blah. Like five hours later, North Carolina just blows out San Diego State. All of the takes that we had yesterday aged very well. And I would like to pat ourselves on the back for it.
That never happens.
If North Carolina lost, Jim, it might be a little tricky today. It might be a little tricky. We might be walking some things back. But they left no doubt. They won. We can all move on now.

Chapter 2: Why is North Carolina's victory significant?
Stunning how good you've gotten at this job that quickly.
It is the start of the day. Give him time.
Stat of the day is presented by Miller Lite. You will never believe who sent me this stat. Against San Diego State last night. By the way, San Diego State, the team that led the nation in field goal percentage defense.
North Carolina became the first team in NCAA history to score 95 or more points, to shoot 50% or better from the field, to shoot 50% or better from three, to shoot 85% or better from the line, all in one game. North Carolina did this last night.
Also, West Virginia was complaining so much about this. They didn't even realize their head coach was leaving for another school. Darian DeVries got hired by Indiana yesterday. So really rough. Exactly why I said if you're a player on this team, you're like, all right, pump the brakes. Hang on a second.
Because now there's more important things going on and everyone's been distracted by this stupid tournament.
I think the governor of West Virginia needs to sign an executive order to prevent that coach from leaving his university. It's an outrage. It's a crime.
Was it this guy that gave you that sign? Yeah, that was him. Thank you, Taylor.
Back to the Alabama State game. So, Dan, I don't know if you caught this, but the game ended on a Hail Mary pass. It was so cool. Alabama State, the player, I think his name is Micah Simpson. He was a middle school quarterback, launches the ball across the court, gets deflected off of a couple Alabama State players. One of them gets it, puts in the layup. They win the game.
