NFTHE Sports At the Half

Okay, it has a nice ring to it. Something the North Carolina Tar Heels seem to have right now as they lead 55-34 over the Michigan State Spartans. And somewhere in Vancouver, Washington, the Warman house is not the place you'd want to be right now (a nod to my friends Doug and Patty there...though if the Spartans don't win tonight, I might be seeing Patty's mug shot on the local news tomorrow...Dougie, beware...).

What's crazier is that Michigan State is pretty much on the home court (although the Spartans are the underdogs). as I've watched the game, I've wondered where the Michigan State who beat the ass of UConn Saturday went. Yes, the Tar Heels are good, and hungry as hell, but I figured that the Spartans would put forth some fight. But instaed, they're on the other end of a 55-34 drubbing. At any rate, 20 minutes to go in this game, and the Heels could bring the 2009 NCAA Men's Basketball Championship Trophy.

So far, the only exciting thing about the Spartans is the CBS Sports interview with Earvin "Magic" Johnson, who beat Larry Bird and Indiana State 75-64 thirty years ago.

The players are returning, so it's back to the game...the Tar Heels are fired up- they're clapping their hands, so it looks like they'll probably continue the momentum they had in the first half. Michigan State needs to wake up- and real fast! Otherwise, it'll be a heartbreak in Detroit. A big let down for the home crowd- even if East Lansing's a mere 95 miles away.

Gotta get back to the game. So you afterward.
