Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. Mine was fantastic until approximately 9:45 PM, when the Heels suffered their first loss of the season. No need to wallow in our sorrows. What did we learn?
Curse of Mack Brown
I think I’m saying this slightly in jest. Since Mack Brown left North Carolina for Texas, the Heels have exactly one victory against the Longhorns on the basketball court. They have lost the other seven contests. Five of those losses have been decided by a single possession.
Roll your eyes. Laugh if you want. But if the Curse of Babe Ruth caused almost a century of pain in Boston, then the Curse of Mack Brown has led to two decades of suffering when these two programs meet up.
