I doubt much of what I write appeals to a particularly broad audience, but I worry most about the times I write about sports — I imagine most of you couldn’t care less about problems on the Saints’ offensive line or Erubial Durazo’s postseason stats. But hey, it’s my blog, so I’ll post what I want.

But the sportsphobic among you do have one thing to be grateful for. The estimable Jason has set up a blog dedicated to our shared obsession, North Carolina basketball. Each fall around this time, UNC hoops becomes an addiction, and I’ve bored countless girlfriends over the years with tales of Shammond Williams heroics, Derrick Phelps’ defense, or other such madness. (Okay, not countless, but several.) College hoops is, without a doubt, the finest sport of them all, and you’d probably be hearing about it in the coming months if Jason hadn’t set up this blog. Now, I’ll just post my thoughts there and spare you the bother. (My first post just went up.)

And, in case you can’t tell, I’m still on Japan time, which is why I’m posting at 3:12 a.m.
