Help Us North Carolina, You’re Our Only Hope

J.P. Gilgio at ACC Now, goes for the “Star Wars” analogy postulating that UNC is the Luke Skywalker who can destroy the Death Star(All Big East Final Four)

Down Goes Duke

A screen shot of the N&O sent by a reader.  Just a little gaffe to brighten your day. I post this knowing full well I make at least 10 mistakes like this on any given piece I publish on this blog.

Sweet Sixteen Thursday

UNC left for Memphis on Wednesday night at 6:45 PM and will have the NCAA mandated, Roy Williams despised open practice/media availability at some point this afternoon.  UNC plays at around 10:00 PM on Friday night which reminds me how little I end up enjoying the rest of the Sweet Sixteen games since I have [...]
