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 [...]

I’m a Sore Loser

Anyone who went to UVa, I hope you get a stick in your eye. Especially you, Tiki Barber.
I didn’t want to jinx the Carolina football team by talking about how well they are playing with an overconfident back-up QB and the loss of the likely player of the year in the conference (had he stayed [...]

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: weak

I’ve stopped updating the scores on the Heels’ schedule there. I could have just filled in a bunch of L’s and saved myself some trouble. As the season is already considered a wash and fans are starting to imagine a few seasons under Butch Davis and looking towards basketball season, the 2006-07 Tar Heel football [...]

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 [...]

Busy B

Tarheels and Mets tonight.
Doing a piece for XXL mag this weekend, another for Onyx.
The usual stuff, too.
Might not be around much, perhaps no “season of suckage” or “weekend newness” this weekend.
Two rumored replacements for UNC football coach John Bunting: Terry Bowden and Butch Davis.

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 Season of Suckage: Week 4

Clemson 52 UNC 7
An expected result that recalled the mid 80’s Heels-Clemson match-ups. Dominated in every category, there’s no need to belabor this. One can only imagine the number of arm tackles and halfway run routes. The idea of playing Notre Dame makes me ill.
