A guy calls in to my office today and asks for me. He says it's Seth Greenberg. I pick up the phone and, of course it's not Seth Greenberg, it's my former roommate from Roanoke, VA (spent a year down there on business shortly after college). He proceeds to congratulate me on the great victory because he knew how much Villanova basketball meant to me and my family and he knew that I had to be in Houston (which I was).
His middle daughter is on the track and field team at UNC so, he and his wife decided to drive down to Chapel Hill to watch the national championship game with their daughter and her friends. He said that the main drag down there is Franklin Street and every bar was packed. Since UNC has won a few national championships, they prepared for the inevitable win over Villanova. They removed every street sign and set up security and paramedics on every corner. They then came in at halftime with fire trucks and hosed down all the buildings, sidewalks, etc. with water in case the dumb asses set fire to the place.
My friend and his wife got a great seat with their daughter and all her friends and he said that the students literally went nuts on every possession. He said that when Marcus Paige hit the 3, the building almost disintegrated. I asked him, so what happened when Jenkins hit the game-winning 3? He said that the students literally all fell on the ground in the bar and started crying. He turned to his wife and said, we better leave and let them have this moment to themselves. Too funny.
BTW, my buddy is actually friends with Seth Greenberg as his oldest daughter played volleyball with Seth's daughter. I don't know if this was mentioned on here before but, Seth Greenberg's daughter is a student at Villanova and a member of our volleyball team.
