It is no secret that Nate loves Tar Heel basketball, and this year's season has made him a very happy boy. His greatest thrill was sneaking into the Duke game and seeing his team in person. And on March 15 he had another big thrill watching Dean Smith win his 877th game. Nate's greatest disappointment of the season was missing the Wake Forest game and having his sidekick Gilbert go in his place. Since Gil's experience was so spectacular, Nate has reluctantly agreed to put some of Gi lbert's photos on this web page. Enjoy!

Gilbert's Moments of Glory

In the postgame frenzy UNC's Chancellor Hooker celebrates a victory with his old buddies Gilbert and Marcia. Gilbert couldn't get enough of his favorite cheerleader's gymnastics. Mike, Gil, and Gretchen cheer for Serge, their favorite Dutchman.

Nate cheers while fans swarm the court after the game. Miscellaneous Comments from Nate On Dean Smith's 877 wins: What a guy...I wish he were my grandpa. On Serge's new crewcut: Sort of surprising, but it's growing on me. (I hope is grows a little before his wedding, though. I wonder if Miss Jennifer Uhl likes it?) On Shammond's three-pointers: Awesome! On Charlie McNairy: He gets more TV coverage than any other player in the ACC. On Ademola: Love him. On Serge: Love him, too.
