A NEW Dean Dome ???
Might the ABC mob’s #1 wet dream actually come true….. sorta? Could “the rafters” be coming down? VERY preliminary discussion has begun for A New Dean Dome.

Stan Didn’t Tweet
It’s mid-October and the St Louis Cardinals are still playing Baseball. A mighty fine tradition in the middle of a seriously ill country doing it’s level best to stomp out and destroy anything and everything it’s citizens might rally ‘round and cheer for.

Zero Dark Thursday and a Roy said ____.
Welcome to Friday Two-parter. Part One is a post Zero Dark Thursday recap. Other than the score, UNC readers will enjoy this part. Part Two is a “Roy said What?” ABCers in general will chortle over this one as will any one who enjoys a good “Roy said _______”

Opinions Without Consequences
HOLY CHOO CHOO! Say it ain’t so Chris Hanburger. For the first time ever since Andy Griffith sucked up his big orange watching football “amid those lofty pines”, the Home team will be in all-black unis this Thursday night…. and on National freakin’ TV too.

RIMSHOTS 10/13/13
I haven’t done a RIMSHOTS collection in a long time. Can’t say THAT anymore. Several of these might ruffle some feathers – hopefully. Feathers are meant to be ruffled.

Some Ice Bergs are…. Dear Mr. Bubba
A classic sports marketing story AND BobLee tries to get his name in The N&O by…… McClatchy’s N&O and Charlotte Observer ran a stoopid story this week that was “Unsolicited Stoopid Advice That Bubba Gets”. So, I got to wonderin’ if…….

EXTRA! “Condi” and “Jack Halperin”
“They” so far only include David Pollack and Pat Dye so lets not quite declare this is “representing a vast majority of….”. But since Condi is a well-known AfAm – Repub – Female we can expect a mini-media-groundswell. Another “ill wind” is ablowing those fabled “jerseys in the Dean Dome rafters”.

The Face That Launched 1,000 ships….
“….. and burned the topless towers of Ilium” . That line was by Christopher Marlowe in Faustus in reference to Helen Of Troy. Helen’s beauty was so powerful that Greece went to war with Troy (Ilium) to bring her home. …… This face belongs to Jennifer The Tutor aka Jennifer Wiley (Thompson).

“Pretty DownEast Women” – A Classic Returns
Who knew they even had computers AND the Internet? They do…. and in abundance apparently. This week’s “…but Mrs Lincoln…” column hit Greater Pitt County like Hurricane Floyd on steroids. So Blondie asked: “I can’t believe you’re aren’t rerunning PDEW.” So we will…….

Other than THAT Mrs Lincoln how was…..
Other than THAT Mrs Lincoln, how was your Saturday afternoon in Kenan Stadium? ….. Brent’s flag was flying high. The weather was ideal. The UNC uniforms finally weren’t butt-ugly. See, it wasn’t all AWFUL. Oh, and the skydiver’s chute opened.

Old Glory Flies O’er Kenan’s Lofty Pines!….
A stereotype, ever how unfair and unflattering, comes into existence for a reason. OR is conjured up in the musty “methed-up brain” of a board monkey. No local academic community is more stereotyped than that asylum over in Chapel Hill…. unless maybe it’s…

BobLee Has A Plan For……
I was comfortable with the endless debates re: “the designated hitter”. I enjoy a lively dialogue about fiberglass polevaulting poles ( “Tarzan” Bragg??). I get bored re: the length of basketball shorts and belly putters on The PGA Tour….

“Bo” is Every Big Time Coach
I don’t know Mama Pelini’s son Bo…. On TV on the sidelines he looks like a wound-way-too-tight sourball. Likely not my kinda guy at all. Last week he got Bravehearted, pilloried and run over by the steamroller known as BoardMonkeyNation… at least by their Cornhusker chapter.

Being Paranoid Doesn’t Mean…..
There is an old saying from either Descartes or Ludlow Porch – “Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean someone is not out to get you.” Around these parts the phrase “knee-jerk paranoid” is as synonymous with one local fan base as “pathologically arrogant” is of that other one.
