I was out of town Wednesday when the legislature feted the UNC Tar Heels for winning the NCAA men's basketball championship for the fifth time, and enjoyed reading Dome's account of the wording of a Senate resolution.
I suspect the fine hand of Sen. Tony Rand, D-Cumberland, UNC partisan extraordinaire, in the exquisitely-put language (at least to we Tar Heel fans) that zinged a certain school in Durham that the late columnist and editor Jim Shoemaker sometimes referred to as "Methodist Flats."
Dome reported these two paragraphs in particular:
"Whereas, the 89-72 Carolina win over Michigan State was a convincing and thorough victory but one that left intact Duke's record for the worst loss in Final Four history
and
Whereas, the senior players named above were undefeated in all away games played within a 12-mile radius of Chapel Hill;"
It's all in good fun, of course, but there may be a few Blue Devil fans who can be forgiven for having a little less fun than others. But just for the record: Go Heels!

Dock Williams', the Governor's, and the NC House and Senate members' pay for the day since took the day off and use it to pay the teachers.
At least they weren't taking bribes in bathroom stalls or getting sweetheart deals on coastal land.
