Good morning, and happy Monday to everyone who's not my neighbors whose friend keeps taking the last parking spot when I get home from work.
In case you missed it, the Tar Heels crushed Virginia men's basketball 65-41 on Saturday — and Justin Jackson, my mom's second-favorite UNC student, was responsible for a smooth half of those points.
I dunno about you, but I'm currently working on a group assignment for one of my classes, and I can't help but realize I am 100 percent the Justin Jackson of every group project I have ever had to do over the last seven semesters.
That or I'm a redshirt super senior who's never left the bench in his entire career. There's no real in between.
