…. It’s not all bad! Under siege from the yucky aspects of sports. Drugs, sex, money, scandal, strikes, bad boyz aplenty, TV calls the shots, buy-out clauses and avaricious agents. I decided to list the “special good stuff” that still draws me…
The TO’B Era of Wolfpack Football was formally christened on a brisk November afternoon in Carter-Finley. Just another last-second nailbiter in the Battle For Backyard Braggin’ Rights.
Just when you think “good news” is just the absence of more “bad news”, The Good Lord sends a rainbow. For Tar Heels under seige by Jimmy Sexton’s ransom demands, the past few weeks have been a combo of toothaches and tax audits…
UNC alums should probably worry about a list of things like Tyler going pro and Roy getting hit by lightning. Who will be the next Chancellor is NOT anything to be the least bit concerned about. IT’S IN CAPABLE HANDS!
When lassoing a tornado like Pecos Bill did or riding a tiger, the dicey part is how to dismount ?? Our last two columns have set total view records (F-Bomb Alley ‘07 will be posted next week !!) UNC Football does intrigue folks.
To anyone who has flown more than twice, there is no more terrifying sight than to see babies getting on an airplane. You brace for 2-3 hours of an ear-splitting assault akin to a reciprocating saw being jammed in one ear.
A Rivalry Game is traumatic under the best of circumstances. Nerves are on edge and fingernails bitten to the quick whether on-site or plopped into a La-Z-Boy in front of a flat screen. Winners tell jokes for a year and Losers say “….
Saturday was a terrific day in Chapel Hill …. Plus the Tar Heels beat Maryland. In the Shadow of The Bell Tower there were festivities aplenty with A-listers, B-listers and wannabes all over the place. Deep Insiders update moi on “the razorback rumor”.
A lot of mini-issues to cover today. Could probably make a full column out of each but let’s not. …. “The Little David Factor” …. “The Fan Votes Are In” …. “May Flies & Dyslexic Crickets” …. “Seersucker Joe Cheshire”…
I like to think I’ve heard EVERY apocryphal sports anecdote ever uttered. My insider contacts from sea to shining sea plus my incredible retentive powers funnel an inexhaustible supply of anecdotal fluff my way.
Mizzou – 41 / TexasTech – 10…. Me, Mizzus and Kid were walking back to our rented Mustang postgame when Holy BurlyBlue-Bleeder – “HARK THE SOUND” came over the campus clarion….. YIKES! Ol’ Roy ain’t loved in The Show Me State
The legendary lantern-totin’ “Seeker of Honest Men” has had it. The cynical old Greek has finally accepted the reality that “honest men” are rarer than rain in these parts in 2007.
Nature abhors a vacuum and sports fans abhor no “raging controversy”. While for real wildfires rage in SoCal, an imaginary one threatens to engulf the Tar Heel Nation…. WWBDD – WhatWillButchDavisDo

We all knew it was coming. …. We all had plenty of time to prepare …. So there shoulda been no surprises when “the rich white boy$” put a price tag on their Nifong Nightmare. Did the $30 LARGE surprise you?
