Tyler Zeller Injury Report

The Raleigh News and Observer’s ACC Now blog quotes Luke Zeller, Tyler’s brother who plays ball at Notre Dame as saying that his younger brother has broken his wrist in two places and will need screws. No word on how long he will be out, but he will miss the Maui Invitational at least. The [...]

Tar Heel Sports Big Saturday

This weekend was one of the biggest in UNC sports since last Spring’s NCAA basketball championship. The football team had a big game against Maryland which would likely seal their spot in the ACC championship game, and the basketball team played their season opener against Penn minus the Player of the Year Tyler Hansbrough but [...]

Pacman to become a Dallas Cowboy

ESPN reported last night the Titans and the Cowboys have agreed in principle to a conditional trade. The Titans are to receive two draft picks potentially (only one if Pac is not reinstated within the year) and other consideration.
As I’ve suggested previously, Pac should thrive there. The citizens of Dallas are simply more used to [...]

They Have Targeted Their Heels

A sexual scandal of a different sort coming out of the Research Triangle, from Hippy Hill rather than Durham. Two members of the UNC football team were found in their skivs bound to a chair while a third was passed out with his hands immoobile. Seems the lads met up with some chaste young women [...]

Season of Suckage: The end is nigh

Football fans, sports fans in general, are a funny lot. They’re making untoward comments about your mother on Friday, they’re trying to buy you a beer on Saturday night. They call you a thug one day, then propose that you be elected mayor the next. I understand the impulse, like Janet said (I should call her Miss [...]

Season of suckage: not quite so suckarific

Though everyone expected a blowout, and in the end they got what they dreamed, the Heels did step up their game a bit. Joe Dailey and Akeem Nicks made strong statements with gritty performances when the Heels were counted out. Minus two key (one ridiculous) penalties, the Heels may have made it close in the [...]

It’s Bloody English! What do you expect?

I really can’t stand Tiki Barber. He and his annoying brother went to UVa and occasionally made UNC defenses seem pourous. I hate his stupid shufflin’ buck commercial for the sattellite TV service. Yet, as Psychick sometimes reminds me, I’d probably like him if I actually knew him. He’s considering retiring from football, ostensibly to [...]

Season of Suckage week 5

Miami 27 Unc 7 
The story continues, anemic offense and tissue paper defense. It figures that the one year Miami is clearly beatable the Heels are clearly unable to beat them. The Miami games in recent years have offered the Heels an opportunity to prove their mettle, and we’ve often given them the toughest game they’ve [...]

The Titans’s season of suckage

With the Tar Heels having a weekend off, I turned my attention towards the equally struggling Titans. Now, I suppose the talk of the day will not be Pacman covering T.O. like a blanket or Young’s typical rookie first start performance, but Haynesworth’s head stomp. From bloggers, I expect the usual outrage, what has gone [...]

Ah another year another season of suckage

The Heels fell to Rutgers in their season opener. That makes 6 first game losses out of the last 8 years. The 21 to 16 loss was attributable to an overmatched defensive line, pure and simple. Yes, a TD was recalled, there were a couple of key turnovers (as there always are with a loss). [...]
