Midnight Madness is almost here!
This is my favorite time of year. The weather is changing (well not really, it is still hot as crap here in NC), the leaves are turning color, and basketball is in the air. Midnight Madness is this Friday which ushers in the new season. I can't wait. UNC is going to be good, really good, this year. Expectations will be high (like 2004-2005). Are you going to
Late Nite with Roy? I'll be there. This will be my fourth trip in the last five years (I couldn't attend in 2005 because
I was in Boston at the time). Stuart Scott will be the MC again. Frankly, I'm not a big fan of all the skits. They are pretty much the same every year. The main reason I go is for the blue/white scrimmage. It is well worth it!
Over at
StatSheet.com we've been maintaining a list of all the known
midnight madness events. There are quite a few schools that aren't hosting an event this year on Oct 12th. Some big names too like Florida and Ohio State. And they wonder why they don't have rabid fans like UNC and Kentucky!
