    UNC Sports Branding Kenan Stadium?

    My hopes that the stadium would stay free of big money influence were dashed a few years ago with the "Chris Smith Field at Kenan Stadium" thing. But at least that's an individual. I suppose a naming agreement was inevitable, but with Mack it probably would've been tasteful and a partners we're...

    Off-Topic Have you ever known a murderer?

    My dad was friends with Dwight Moore, one of the men Blanche Taylor Moore poisoned (though he survived). As a kid I went to picnics at their church where she served meals. When NBC made a TV movie about it, my parents and some of their friends got an advanced viewing.

    Sports The Masters

    I can't remember how many years ago it was at Quail. I suspect it was when Rory won in 2015. He and Webb Simpson were paired near the top of the leader board in the final round. Webb, being a local guy, had the crowd. They were on 15, the long par five with a dogleg left and the edge of the lake...

    UNC Sports Hot Stove: UNC Basketball

    I don't mean to sound like a tinfoil conspiracy theorist, but I still remember watching the board buckle under Bacot's foot live. No need for a replay or a slo mo look, it was obvious IN REAL TIME that he missed the layup because of a weak seam in the floor. While those two points wouldn't have...

    Sports NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament Thread

    Re: #1. There's some truth to that, but depsite his 30 piece, it was still his dumb contested shot from the logo when the game was tied (or very close) that effectively stalled their momentum and let dook get their groove back. It felt all too familiar.

    UNC Sports Hot Stove: UNC Basketball

    Not that I've given up on Hubert yet, but what do y'all think of Grant McCasland as a possibility? Big XII and Big East coaches seem to be the only conferences whose coaches may still see the ACC as a step up. I'm not sure we can lure the up and comers in the SEC like Todd Golden away anymore...

    UNC Sports NCAAT: San Diego State Biorhythms, 9:10 Tip

    Classic UNC tournament performance. Dean's fingerprints all over that one. Fast breaking, getting to the rim, taking high percentage shots, making free throws, owning the backboards, protecting the ball (after the first few sloppy minutes). And then, on the defensive end, making it hard for the...

    All true. Doesn't mean I'm happy about it.

    UNC Sports UNC Football Catch-all | Bill Belichick Era underway

    Your last sentence is exactly what I am afraid of. Any pretense of amateurism, or the student/athlete is now out the door. So long to the Carolina Way. Dean Smith turning over in his grave. Now, did that approach mean we were less competitive in football? Maybe. But I don't care. Does it mean...

    UNC Sports Mack Brown gone - will not return after 2024 season

    I'm not as familiar with the universe of possible replacement as others are, but I can pretty much tell you that our only hope is to catch lighting in a bottle with an up and coming G5 coach/P5 assistant, or maybe a disgraced P5 coaching looking for some redemption (hello Brent Venables). To...

    UNC Sports UNC ONLY BASKETBALL 2024-25 SEASON

    Neither or our losses are bad. In fact the Kansas loss might end up helping our NET and SOS. Like last year, if we can win one good non-con game ('Bama next week?) and have 5 or fewer losses in conference play, we'll probably be in the hunt for a number one seed again. But Bama will bother us...
