I’m well past it and love steak. The point is for 20 yr olds Ruth’s Chris is the pinnacle of fine dining. They’re not attempting to show off Chapel Hill’s innovative cuisine.
I totally thought you were younger than that, geisterfahrer.

I think Snoop’s slightly younger than me, and I know wmheel, CFord, and HY2012 are, but other than that, I think I’m one of the youngest people on this board, and I’m a few months away from turning 50. Bunch of old folks here.
 
Maybe not, but great players make the best of any situation they are put into. Things aren’t always going to be laid out perfectly.

Get to work and try to be a difference maker.
Thats easy to say. Why doesn't ever player just man up and make their team great?

Everyone isn't that good...most are not. Its a team sport...

Also, the staff should evaluate/develop/position the talent to make the whole greater than the parts. Do you think thats what we saw this season?

I sure think that’s what the staff was trying to do.

The staff didn’t blame anybody for the disappointing results.

Defending EC’s shots at the program on his way out is kind of a tough stance to take, imo. We usually want better than that. It’s called maturity and class.
 
Did anyone else clock this from HD in his comments following Jonathan Powell's commitment?

"Then also, can this person handle the spotlight to play here? This is different. It's just different. And I'm not trying to distinguish ourselves between anyone else, but I am. The lights are bright here and everything that you do will be critiqued or criticized. And for some people it's very difficult. They can't handle that. So we have to decide if this person is able to handle the spotlight here and able to perform on this type of stage."

That feels like a pretty pointed statement and possibly (likely?) directed a recent transfer out of the program.

It feels like we're turning into Real Housewives of Orange County, NC.
On his podcast recently, Theo Pinson said something similar about the spotlight at UNC.

Theo also said the criticism can be sharp AND the love is huge. He said both come with the territory of the UNC program. He said the criticism of current players by former players can be large; but, it comes with love.
 
Theo said that every time he went to shoot a three in the Smith Center, he could hear everyone suck in their breath. Said he shot it better on the road lol
 
Calling the SouthPoint area Durham is like calling a trip to Epcot’s World Showcase or whatever it is and claiming you’ve traveled the world.
Last night my wife and I took a twenty minute walk to the Federal. Great beer and even better food. I haven't been to SouthPoint in years.

That might have something to do with Theo's career 3% of 25.7% with the career high of 29% coming as a sophomore.

And that's just from the guys on Theo's podcast!
