    ATLANTA — North Carolina isn’t here in Atlanta, but that hasn’t stopped Daggum Roy from expressing his opinions on the Final Four.

    In this exclusive interview with SNY.tv, Daggum Roy gives his thoughts on a few hot topics dominating the weekend.

    1. What do you think of Rutgers dominating the talk at the Final Four?

    Sounds to me … and of course I’m just on the outside lookin’ in at it… but sounds to Me like it’s them uppita media types tryin’ a tell a feller how to run his daggern ballclub.  That’s what I thank.  

     ‘Course, I don’t ‘prove of that language — why they always wanna use ‘at language? — but Coachin’ is about teacherble moments.  Like when Coach Rice’d beaned that player in the head and the manager feller was Right Thar to hand him another ball, that was fan-tastic.  Very teacherble.

    But clar’ly that Rutger Coach’s way a doin’ thangs has worked or they wouldn’t be in the dadblern Final Four.  

    2. Who do you have winning it all and why?

    If Michigan can get by that gotdangdable Boeheims zone — and they get enough timeouts this time — I believe they can make a run at Lou-a-vul.  ‘Course Boeheims can really get up in Pitina’s weave sometimes, too.  But don’t believe Rutgers got enough to do it.  So I’d say it’s probla Pitina and them.  Although, Hubert and I picked against ’em at the sportsbook. 

    3. What are you up to this weekend? Are you drinking Co-Colars in Chapel Hill?

    Wander’s give me the weekend off, so believe I will.  Pop Mecca, ain’t it?  Gonna squeeze in 36 holes a recruitin’ and then that uh, Coachin’ Confernce, yeah.   Besides, they got that good suped-up Co-Colar at the hotel bar.

    4. Are you still working on recruiting Andrew Wiggins and how would he help your team?

    You know doggone well I cain’t talk bout that recruitin’ crap.  But … I do got one feller comin’ in next yar who’s a few Co-Cola’s over fightin’ weight.  And that ungrateful Harston might try and up and leave me, so I’d like to have me a Wigg…  an athlete at the Forward position.  How many no. 1 recruits does that greeda ass Calipara got er have anyway?! 

    5. How’s your team looking for next year?

    Eh. 

    6. Anything else come to mind?

    Cain’t believe thar playin’ this dang thang without me.  Again.
