Ah, team building.
From ACC Now:
North Carolina’s football team took a break from training camp Wednesday morning to try another form of competition: bowling.
The Tar Heels showed up for their scheduled 8 a.m. meeting to find out they were heading to Mardi Gras Bowling Center rather than the practice field — a way give the players a break from the grind while promoting team unity.
The result: a bevy of strikes, quite a few gutter balls, and a lot of chuckling.
We have nobody that’s going to threaten to be Dick Weber, but we had a great time,’’ said coach Butch Davis. “Guys were laughing, and at the end of it we had a competition, offense against the defense, the 10 best bowlers. It was a hard-fought match; the defense won 93-88.”
The best of the bunch, according to Davis: wide receivers Cooter Arnold and Brooks Foster, offensive Mike Dykes and linebacker Chase Rice.
The worst of the group: running back Greg Little, who scored roughly a 24.
Who is Dick Weber? That sounds like one of those names coaches drop and all the players, being 30 years younger, stare at him with that: “Who the heck is that?” look on their face.
And Greg Little had a 24? Please tell me his skills as a RB are on the complete other end of the spectrum from his skills as a bowler.

A 24??? I’ve seen kids who can’t even hold the ball do better than that. Of course, I wouldn’t say that to his face…
I guess the coaches wouldn’t let the players put bumpers up over the gutters, right?
Bad news. I knew who Dick Weber was.
This sounds pretty cool, and I’m sure the players had a blast.
I DO NOT want Greg Little to be good at anything involving a ball rolling around loose.
Wilf, don’t feel bad, I knew who Weber was too. And I totally agree that Little should be concentrating on holding the ball as tight as possible.
You guys feel bad about knowing who Dick Weber was? I actually saw him playing on the PBA tour on black-and-white TV. He was good in the pocket and had a heckuva shovel pass.
I luv ya Larry ;>)
Dick Weber was no Earl Anthony.
