Cameron Indoor Wikipedia Edit

// February 13th, 2009 // No Comments » // Funny Stuff, Sports Stuff, UNC-CH

This will probably get changed, but the Tar Heel faithful have made a nice little edit to the Duke Cameron indoor stadium Wikipedia page. As of February 13, 2009 at 2:42pm it reads:

For access to major games, including those against the University of North Carolina, students tent for months in an area outside of Cameron known as “Krzyzewskiville.” The hardwood floor was dedicated and renamed Danny G Court in February 2009, in recognition of Danny Green’s fourth win at Hansbrough Indoor Stadium.

Good stuff!

Congratulations to the Tar Heels for another ACC win – this one against Miami (FL), winning 82-65.

Congrats to Wayne Ellington as well for a stellar three point performance in the second half, after remaining scoreless in the first half. Go Heels!

Hansbrough Sets New UNC Scoring Record

Congrats to Tar Heel senior Tyler Hansbrough for becoming the new all-time career scoring leader at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. In tonight’s home game against Evansville, Hansbrough broke the scoring record with just under 8 minutes to go in the first half.

UNC, Wake, ECU Get Bowl Bids

Looks like three North Carolina college football teams still have another game this season in the form of a bowl, including my alma mater, the University of North Carolina. The Heels will math up against West Virginia in the Meineke Car Care Bowl two days after Christmas. Go Heels!

On the Tar Heel Alternate Navy Jerseys

// November 26th, 2008 // No Comments » // Sports Stuff, UNC-CH

A few weeks ago, the Heels unveiled an alternate jersey, full of Navy blue, and only a splash of Carolina blue at a home game at Kenan Stadium.

Tarheelblue.com has a whole writeup on it, about halfway down the article linked below. Here is more on the colors tradition at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill:

The unveiling of the navy blue jerseys for a home game followed the introduction of navy pants for a road trip to Rutgers in September. Some have complained that navy is not a traditional Carolina color (wrong, the Heels were wearing navy more than a century ago and as recently as half a century ago) and that the shade reeks too much of Duke (wrong as well, as the Blue Devils’ hue is a lighter version of royal blue).

Great Time of the Year

// November 18th, 2008 // No Comments » // Sports Stuff, UNC-CH

This time of the year, it’s getting colder, days are getting shorter and there’s fewer miles for me on the bike. But yet I still love this time of year for one big thing – college basketball.

Granted, I love when football season kicks off a few months earlier, but nothing beats college basketball season for a Tar Heel fan (and alum). Carolina basketball holds a special place in my heart and a priority in our house. He’ll, our wedding was even scheduled so it wasn’t to intersect with the ACC, nor NCAA tournaments.

I’m typing this during halftime of the Carolina / Kentucky game, and the game has been all UNC, even with Hanbrough and Ginyard on the bench with injuries.

Carolina had a wonderful season last year, though they ended on a sour note in the NCAA tournament, turning in a piss-poor performance against a great Kansas team.

Regardless, if this game tonight against Kentucky is any indication of what the season holds for Carolina,we can look forward to smothering defense and an up-tempo offense, continuing even as the starters get a rest on the bench.

Man, I love this time of the year. Go Heels!

Hansbrough Has Stress Reaction, Out Indefinitely

// October 31st, 2008 // No Comments » // Sports Stuff, UNC-CH

Not cool! The season is right around the corner and 2008 national player of the year is an unknown for the season. I’m not really sure what a “stress reaction” is, but I’m hoping it’s something that can mend in time for ACC play after the new year rolls around.

The Scent of UNC

// October 15th, 2008 // 1 Comment » // UNC-CH

Man, talk about cashing in on the die hards out there who will buy anything with their college’s logo. Now you can get Tar Heel perfume. So according to this perfume, the essence of Tar Heel consists of champagne, lemon, jasmine and lavender. Amanda thinks it’s more like beer and cheap tacos. Shouldn’t it be wine and cheese?

UNC Routs Rutgers 44-12

// September 12th, 2008 // No Comments » // Sports Stuff, UNC-CH

The Tar Heels started out a bit slow last night, but T.J. Yates, Hakeem Nicks and Brandon Tate all settled down into their own respective grooves and really put on a show as Thursday night’s football progressed.

Carolina’s D also stepped up as the game wore on, capitalizing on Rutgers’ mistakes multiple times.

It’s wonderful to see the Heels start 2-0 in Butch Davis’ second year at the helm, and that second win is on the road – something the Heels haven’t done in the past 20 road games I believe.

This would have been cool to see in person. The former UNC players team included Jawad Williams, Jackie Manuel, Melvin Scott, and Jerry Stackhouse. Wish we could have been there to check it out!
