Like the alcoholic friend who's fun when he's drunk

Sort of.

That's to what I'm comparing this '06-'07 Tar Heel basketball season. You know when you have this really funny friend who drinks way too much and he tells the funniest jokes when he's drunk and is just always "on time" and remembers the inside jokes you have and makes you feel special and then always makes the funniest scene of the party and you just want to get even drunker so you can be as funny as he is? I used to like to think I was That Guy. But I had to stop drinking ... for a number of reasons. Among them was that I was telling more inside SECRETS than jokes and I wasn't that fun to be around and did more stupid things than funny ones and alcohol became drugs and I guess every once in a while I was really on time but I couldn't come through in the clutch.

So what I mean is ... see: last night's loss to Maryland. It's almost shameful. But really it just hurts. Someone needs to have an intervention with the team, or maybe even Roy.
