A walk down memory lane

Watching last night's Illinois/Carolina game, I couldn't help but get a little misty-eyed at the thought of who was missing from UNC's roster. No, I'm not talking about May or McCants - I'm talking about the the Flying Dutchman. Zwikk the Quick.



SERGE ZWIKKER.

Okay, so he graduated several years ago. I still miss him - seven feet two inches of awkward, ham-fisted lethargy dressed in Carolina blue. Alan Greenspan could probably take him in a game of 21, but that was part of his appeal. He was the irrefutable argument against the "you can't coach height" approach to assembling a basketball team.

And he has a championship ring and you don't.
