That’s Chip Patterson - I’ve never heard of him but the internet says he lives in Raleigh. His Linked In page does state that he’s a 2009 UNC Grad (Communications). I note also that this appears to be his standard background for a few years now.

This makes me feel very removed from Chapel Hill, still my most beloved place to live. I don’t know this guy! I even tended bar at The Cave for a couple of years back in the early 21st century and called myself a regular there for years and years.

Anybody know this guy?

That’s one gray-haired dude for being a 2009 alum. Maybe it’s a graduate degree or he was an older undergrad?

The Cave is not a place I think about in terms of watching sports.

Once upon a time there was a pretty steady crew that watched games 'down there.' I can't speak for these days. Tijuana Fats' also had a faithful bunch for Tar Heel sports. Now-a-days most people that I know that go out to watch go to The Orange County Socialist Club in Carrboro.

Dead Mule has a good assortment of locals for games.
 
Speaking of old and the Cave, I was rummaging through a drawer the other day and stumbled on a 50 year old Cave softball shirt.
 
I knew a beautiful Townie named Abby Miller that worked at the Cave in the mid 70s
Abbys wonderful Dad

Worked there for about a year -- just one night a week. It can be a great place to watch a game. Knowledgable folks. Some of the old Tijuana Fats' folks migrated over there for games. I think that if I lived in town now I'd probably be by there often.

“By 1925 perhaps as many as four or five million white, Protestant, native-born patriots were engaged in or tacitly supporting acts of intimidation, terror, and torture against their Negro, Catholic, Jewish, and foreign born neighbors. They justified these acts on the ground that America was in dire peril and could be saved only if it remained, oddly enough, predominantly white, Protestant, and native-born. Professing to be a Christian organization and composed of Protestants, the Klan became an extremely powerful force in American life, especially in the Southwest, Middle West, and Far West. Appealing to men's patriotism and idealism, as well as to their fears, hates, and frustrations, the Invisible Empire increased rapidly in size in the early twenties.” - A NOTE ON THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE PROTESTANT CHURCHES AND THE REVIVED KU KLUX KLAN, By ROBERT MOATS MILLER.

 
Oh man !

I was at the Cave throwing darts and enjoying Mike Cross throughout my misspent college years in the 70s.

So indulge me if I post my favorite Mike Cross song...

Did you throw in the league? We almost had to have run across each other.

I met my wife playing bridge at the Cave. We played 3-4 times a week down there for years.

Yes, Chip is the hype man for the Cover 3 podcast (alongside Danny Kennel, Bud Elliot and Tom Fornelli). He is a UNC journalism grad and does CBS Sports spots from time to time -- primarily college football. He had a Next Level appearance with Greg on Inside Carolina a couple of years ago.

I don't think I threw in the league but I threw darts with a buddy partner many of the night.

My favorite memory is us setting down challenges all night long :)

My favorite challenge was when the guys were ready to challenge us and I was first up and I threw 3 triple 19s to end the match.
 
I was in a game kinda like that playing doubles 501 one night. My partner hit a ton 60 in, the next guy blanked, I hit a ton 40 and the last guy looked rattled. Course he was only 300 points behind and hadn't thrown. It didn't end the match officially but they were done.
