Hopefully, UNC will build some kind of train system to connect the two campuses.

I remember reading as part of the arena proposal (or maybe it was an IC podcast about the arena proposal) that the initial effort will be express buses between the two parts of campus.

But I'm hoping that, long term, there will be an underground rail system built.

Underground is likely not cost feasible. I posted the picture before, but I think the ideal solution would be something like what WVU has.

i live right off Estes. This is a disingenuous way of selling it imo. A little different to walk through campus as opposed to walking up a busy highway
It’s more of a stroad than a highway. But in addition to being busy, it is literally uphill both ways. You need to be very fit to attempt that walk. The campus walk is relatively flat until you get to the Smith Center.

I definitely agree with that. If this goes through, they should definitely find a way to make it a much more pleasant walk than it is currently.

I did once live in apartments right by where Hillsborough Street meets MLK (it was Airport Road back then), and frequently walked between where Franklin and Columbia meet and my apartment via MLK back then. That’s about the halfway point.

But totally agree that bit’s the walk through the campus that makes the walk between Franklin and the Dean Dome an enjoyable walk.

I thought I had read somewhere that an off road pedestrian pathway was already part of the planning. Anyone else remember that?
 
Saw this on my Facebook feed this morning?!?

When I used to walk that way 50 years ago, I'd go down Raleigh St. It was a prettier walk. Steeper though coming back. It's a fairly serious uphill walk either way.
 
One of the clickbait pages. Nothing there is legit.
Thanks I only go on FB to wish folks Happy Birthday and when I saw that I thought it might be true with the current administration! I should be more cynical I suppose!

I’m only aware of them because my mom has somehow gotten where she sees them and every few weeks she tells me some Carolina Basketball rumor that is absolutely crazy and I have to remind her not to believe anything she reads on Facebook.
 
From Greg:
18-4 (6-3 ACC)

- 27th NET
* 4-3 Q1 (3-2 Q1-A)
* 2-1 Q2
* 6-0 Q3
* 6-0 Q4

- 22nd Wins Above Bubble (2.95)
- 30th KenPom
- 24th Strength of Record
- 28th T-Rank (Torvik)
- 64th NET SOS

- As of Feb. 5, BracketMatrix slots UNC as the final No. 5 seed in the NCAAT field. Torvik projects UNC as the second No. 6 seed.

- Both KenPom and Torvik project UNC to finish the regular season with a 23-8 (11-7 ACC) record.

If the season plays out as predicted by KenPom ad Torvik would that that be "good enough" of a regular season for this staff?

If the losses are duke 1x and 2 of Miami, Clemson, or Louisville, probably

Sounds to me if that happens it would be another mediocre season, which has been the standard since Hubert took over. I think they had one great run at the end of his first season, one season that was above average that ended in a loss in the tournament to a lower seed, and the others were mediocre or bad. Hopefully the rest of the season will play out better that predicted. I don't know how long "good" will be "good enough."
