I’ve been sitting on a nice piece about the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers not driving Lambos for several weeks …. but my spidey sense kept telling me to “hold off” there’s a bigger story coming.
VOILA! Lets hear it for BobLee’s spidey sense .
.
Sleeping Giant Hires “some guy from NASCAR”….
After 10+ years of trying to wrap their pointy little heads around “we actually hired a guy named “Bubba” to be our Athletics Director” !!! …. this after umpteen years of an Athletics Director named “Dickie” …. Yea Ol’ Flagship is hiring “some guy from NASCAR” as its latest AD.
Lordy, Lordy don’t you just know those 3rd generation silverspoons in “the Lower Level” are beside themselves. The Sunday brunches at Carolina Country Club, Sedgefield CC, and Quail Hollow CC will be all abuzz for sure. … From his grave, Charles Kuralt is asking “NASCAR ??? What does Richard Petty or “Glen “Fireball” Roberts know about that time Saint Dean fed the multitudes with five loaves of bread and three little fishes …”
Having “directed” UNCCH to more Olympic Sports National Championships than Sutton’s Drug Store sells chili dogs in a day …. “my friend Bubba” is transitioning to the academic admin equivalent of WITSEC. How many Senior Executive Vice Administrative Advisors To The Chancellor can you name without googling?
Imagine Bubba finally able to stroll thru McCorkle Place without hearing whispers … “Is that the idiot that hired that old coach with the skanky girlfriend…?” …. “No, I think he’s Senior Executive Vice Administrative Advisor To The Chancellor.”
After that week back in March being “the most hated guy named Bubba in the history of Intercollegiate Athletics” following that little seeding incident w/ March Madness … and the “bounty” placed on his head by the Governor of West Virginia … this latest organizational shuffle will allow Bubba to reassign the intern he assigned to start his car each morning. One cannot be too careful with car bombs these days.
The “some guy from NASCAR” becoming UNCCH’s new AD is Steve Newmark previously with Roush Racing in some sort of executive “sponsor development” capacity. Apparently “a heckuva nice guy”.
The likelihood of “Kenan Memorial Stadium” becoming “Kenan Bojangles CheerWine Memorial Stadium” looms in the near future. UNC Health is bracing for a pandemic of “the vapors” from “old grads” should that happen. Somewhere Kindly Ol’ Bill Friday is muttering “I warned you ….”
Donors will be able to purchase naming rights for each lofty pine tree encircling Kenan Bojangles CheerWine Memorial Stadium. …. what a thrill to show one’s grandkids “grandpa’s pine tree that only costs him 25% of your college fund.”
Details of Steve Newmark’s “deal” have not been announced but rumored to be somewhere between what the going rate is for a 2nd string cornerback and a back-up power forward.
One provision demanded by Board of Trustees Nitwit John Preyer is that “IF the Belichick hire turns into a massive train wreck it will be Bubba’s fault” … but if somehow ‘it works’ then Nitwit Preyer gets all the credit.
During his hiring interview, another self-important Trustee clutching her pearls over concerns about “Hubert” being “a messiah or a mis-hire” asked Newmark if he knew how to get in touch with either Larry Brown, George Karl or “that guy that was at Villanova” just in case.
Newmark said no, but he does have the private cell #s of legendary NASCAR driver Dick Trickle. John Preyer mumbled “Haruumph”.
All I, your humble Internet Legend, care about is that all this is what Bubba wants career-wise. I’ve been assured that it is. … … as Big Time College Sports descends into the Stygian blackness of an Eternal Hell.

Chanticleers Don’t Drive Lambos
Yeah, this is bit late but still vitally important. About the only College Sport I still care about in the NIL / Portal Era is the College Baseball Playoffs. I don’t follow college baseball until “the playoffs” but I do enjoy the Road To Omaha thing.
I am convinced that in my lifetime, East Carolina’s Pirates WILL someday “get to Omaha”. But, alas, not this year … again. BUT … the “Where is that school” faction was represented this year by the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers who actually WON the College World Series a few years ago …. and made it to the finals again this year before Livy Dunne’s Tigers of Baton Rouge outpitched them.
In a sports world dominated by the Power4 Juggernauts with their armies of Fat Cat Boosters in gianormous RVs complete with dozens of pole-dancing former Hooters waitresses … I find it refreshing when a Whozit school gets its 15 minutes of fame. …. Heck, I even ordered myself a Chanticleer ball cap.
As I watched the Chanticleer moochies “living the dream” I bet myself that not a one had a Lamboghinni back home in Conway SC. I’m sure even Chanticleers get “walking around $$$” these days but not to the RIDICULOUS level of Power4 Juggernauts and Juggernaut Wannabees.

America Meets a Long-legged Hottie Named “Sophie”
No, I do NOT “follow the WNBA” or any professional basketball association. I proudly made it thru the past six months without watching ONE minute of “professional basketball’. In fact … during what I guess was the Finals on the NBA, I did look at the rosters of the two teams …. one from Oklahoma City and one from Indianapokis I believe.
I kid you not … I did not know / recognize ONE name on either roster. Not a single one. If any of’em had played at UNCCH or NCSU in the past five years, I would not have known … since I have no clue who any of those “student athletes” were.
But I do follow the on-going socio-cultural “bar fight” between Angel Reese (“Jasmine Crockett” in Nikes) and Caitlin Clark (“the straight white girl from Iowa” …. “Larry Bird reincarnated as a girl”).
A recently retired WNBA player – “a straight black girl” – described the WNBA as a “toxic environment” of “85% black and 95% lesbian” …. her “been there” appraisal means more than my casual observation, so lets go with it ….
So last week, this percolating cultural crock pot got even more YEEE HAA …. America met SOPHIE CUNNINGHAM. Sophie has been in the WNBA since 2019 but essentially anonymous as are 98% pf the WNBA. NOT ANY MORE ……
Imagine if former WWE Diva / George Clooney girlfriend STACEY KEIBLER was a really good basketball player. That’s Sophie … “hotter than a Phoenix sidewalk in August with legs longer than Route 66 …. AND SHE’S STRAIGHT” .… and possessor of a wonderfully wicked self-effacing sense of humor that is rarer than hen’s teeth among today’s pro athletes.
Sophie is now Caitlin Clark’s bodyguard against Angel Reese’s gang’s of Black Lesbo Thugs. …ESPN’s own gang of perpetually angry lesbians are beside themselves ….
Meanwhile millions of straight guys who kinda like Hot Long-legged Blonds are signing up for Sophie’s instagram site …… Give’em Hell Sophie & Caitlin. ..
The possibility of a pro basketball league of Hot Straight White Girls has less chance than “term limits for crooked politicians” … but we can dream can’t we …

NOT on The Final Exam …
One must be at least 18 with a verifiable double digit IQ to read below …..
If any of you are curious about my thoughts re: “Two-faced Thommy” Tillis or any of the other miserably corrupt DC swamp slime slithering around Our Nation’s Capital … follow me on Facebook at “BobLee Says”.
NO … I am NOT in the mix to replace “Two-faced Thommy” as NC’s Senator … despite an aggressive grassroots effort to change my mind. …. Being Warden of “Alligator Alcatraz” DOES have an appeal … lots of really big bass in nearby Lake Okeechobee.
If you have any elderly friends or relations in a fearful state that “King Donald” is going to take away your Medicare, your Social Security, your dentures, your orthopedic shoes and your pet goldfish and you’re all gonna die by this time next Thursday…” or whatever Chucky Shumer and AOC and Whoopie and the rest of those desperate lyin’ scoundrelds are predicting. …. tell’em that BobLee says “chill”.
I have it on solid inside source – Karoline Leavitt’s nanny – that the ONLY ones who are likely to lose all that yadda yadda and die by next Thursday are those who actually thought Ol’ Joe, “Kackles” and “Tampon Timmy” should be within a country mile of the nuclear trigger. If that’s you … better get your affairs in order ASAP.
I’m still waiting to see what sad excuse for a human actually lost the governor’s race in Minnesota to “Tampon Timmy”. On his best day, “Tim The Alpha Male” (???) does not even rise to the level of BUFFOON.
