Dread the Red Babeeeeee!
The Highlanders take on the Tarheels today in the opening round of the NCAA men's basketball tournament and we'll be in the heart of Highlander country, blogging from Sharkey's on the New River City's Main Street.
Tip off is set for 2:50 p.m. Blogging begins shortly before that on the New River Notebook at newrivervalley.com.
A 16th seed has never beaten a number one seed in the history of March Madness, but Radford University has already beaten the University of North Carolina three times this season.
OK, that was the University of North Carolina at Ashville and this time they're playing a team from the campus in Chapel Hill, but it's still UNC, right?
