Game Night, baby…Game Night.
I’m up for this one, but I have to admit that I am nervous for the Heels this weekend.
With tonight’s game, our persistent nightmare that occurs when we are forced into halfcourt play will be facing us. Over the past three years, the Heels have had tremendous trouble when they’re forced […]

‘Nuff said…

Special shout to Jim Hawkins who grabbed this shot. This pic seems to have encountered every Tar Heel inbox this weekend.

After the Eve Carson tragedy, tonight’s UNC-Duke game is a tough one to get up for…
