I love coming here for your stats every year. There is nothing better out there in March. Just curious if you are going to update the last post with the North Carolina stats. Can't wait to see what you post next -- keep up the excellent work!
I updated with North Carolina. I am sorry, was gone during game and had headache when I got home and then had to go on a business trip last week.
