I must be misremembering listening to Carolina games on the radio with no TV coverage…….not listening to Bill “The Mouth of the South” Currie on the radio and watching the TV broadcast……just listening to Bill Currie or Woody because there was no TV broadcast. I guess that never happened.

I also have a cookie tin with a SHITLOAD of ticket stubs from ‘67 to ‘75 (it’s every game) - that timeframe was when Dad had 4 season tickets in Carmichael because one of his colleagues didn’t give a shit about sports - it’s most every game to 1983; but, not all games. The ‘67-‘75 ticket stubs have the day, date, and start time on them.

Wednesday, 8:00 pm was the most common……..

That Kansas game is going to be huge for our season - at least in terms of the fan base.

If we win that game, it'll be a big boost for us in the early season and will be an indication that this team can live up to its potential. If we lose, it's going to be ugly as the complaints about HD will get really loud and it'll be almost 3 weeks before we play another non-cupcake team that could take the edge off those complaints.

That might be the most important regular season game we've played under HD.

It’s also likely to be UNCs last chance at beating Bill Self… ever.

It would be the first time we beat Kansas since the 2002-03 season, and the first time since Roy Williams left Kansas for UNC.

So you think he’s gone after this season?

I don’t have any inside information, per se, but it was not exactly a secret that he was considering hanging it up after last season even. So, combined with his recent heart scare, which some say actually ends up making you feel better from the relief you get, it’s at best a coin flip in my opinion.

KU has had two bad years in a row and the fans have been pretty vile. If this upcoming year is bad too, I would almost guarantee that’s the end. Just kind of all depends on how the year plays out.

If I were in Vegas though and someone gave me the chance, I would bet heavily that this is Self’s last year.

NGL I'm cautiously optimistic about the upcoming season. I think CHD has a squad.

I really have no sense or feeling at all for how the season will go. I'm really going into it completely neutral in terms of expectations. I really hope the cautious optimism turns out to be well placed. It would make me very happy

Interesting. His last two years weren’t that bad, and he just won a national championship three years ago. Crazy how impatient fans can be. I understand that even the best coaches can lose their edge, but he’s been one of most consistently great coaches over the past 20+ years and experienced very recent success. Seems he deserves the benefit of the doubt. Granted, I understand if he is tired and/or has health concerns, and I’m sure this new world of the portal and NIL isn’t andding any enjoyment.

Yep. But I am looking forward to seeing what Seth Trimble, Caleb Wilson, John Doe, Player X, ______________, [insert name of player here], that new guy, that other new guy, et al., etc. can do.
