Lee Pace: RAMblings 4.7.09 - Franklin Street Frolic

Posted Apr 8, 2009
At long last, I finally experience Franklin Street first-hand as the Tar Heels win a national basketball title. In 1977, I was a sophomore at Carolina and watched the Saturday semifinal victory over UNLV in a tuxedo. I chauffeured my date and a car full of fraternity brothers down Franklin Street en route to a formal at the late, great Ranch House as the bars erupted with fans yelping and squealing over the prospects of Walter Davis, Phil Ford et al securing Dean Smith’s first national title two nights later against Marquette.
