CAROLINA ACC CHAMPS 89-80!! :woohoo:

[KitchenWitch]

1. WTG

Who'd they beat?

[Labors of Hercules]

2. NC State

Who beat us in both prior regular season games...

[salin]

3. Not a Carolina fan... but a Carolina "respector"...

am a Hoosier fan - from birth. Remember multiple championships as I grew up (three between '76 and '87). Have to respect other long-time big Bball programs. So count me as an admirer. Congrats. (and may Kelvin Sampsom bring IU back into a similar road of glory.

Funny thing - on Friday I a kid I used to work with came to visit work. Ending his soph. year in highschool. Has already committed to Purdue. Why Purdue over IU? (The kid wants to go into business, not engineering and IU is the biz school - purdue the engineering school) - Because the rep of IU was already that it was climbing too fast and that if he wanted attention (as in proscouts) he might do better at Purdue in the coming years than at IU. Thought it was interesting that this was the local AAU and HS coach view of the Hoosier situation in a couple of years :D

So beware Carolina fans - we may respect you - but we hope to beat you in the near future!

From a hoosier fan.

4. I went to a UNC school but

I was always more for State, I think because my mom went there so when I was little we always wanted State to win.
But OUT of the state I'm totally for UNC!
(I don't know what's up with basketball but my hubband watched today and told me what happened)

[racaulk]

5. I went to a UNC system school also.

NC native here and I went to Western Carolina. Where did you go to school?

:hi:

[stuntcat]

14. woOOt

I went to UNC Pembroke, maybe the smallest one of the UNC's
:hi:

[taterguy]

18. I think NC School of the Arts is the smallest

I don't think their hoops team is very good but I'm a big fan of some of their alums, especially Mary Louise Parker

[tonkatoy57]

21. NCSA

I went to the School of the Arts, and yes I believe we are the smallest school in the UNC system.

I was really surprised that Carolina received a #1 seed. I thought that even if they won against State yesterday that they would still be a #2 seed. They have a very tough bracket, with Georgetown and Texas, and as much as I love me some Carolina basketball I wouldn't be surprised if they don't make it to the Final Four.

State played a great game against them and their game plan should be a template for anyone who would like to beat Carolina. State sucessfully slowed down the tempo, took Carolina out of their running game and forced them to play a halfcourt game, something Roy Williams would prefer not to do. I don't think there is a team in America that can run with Carolina, but if you can slow them down, especially now that Tyler is not himself because of his discomfort with wearing his headgear because of his broken nose, you might have a chance if you can shoot over 45% from the field and not get into foul trouble.

I felt bad for State. They played three great games in the tournament. Too bad they didn't click until too late in the year. Three more wins, plus what they did this weekend would have put them in the big dance.

By the way, Carolina means UNC, not that other college in fucking South Carolina.

[taterguy]

22. I didn't feel bad for State when I saw those Win it for Jimmy V signs

If your school fires a coach after giving him a lifetime contract then you lose the right to invoke his name.

[stuntcat]

23. South Carolina has a college?

I KID!!@! okay!?

btw I live in VA for now but back to NC is the next and last place I'm moving! To the mountains hopefully.

[stuntcat]

24. (I was jokin' y'all)

(I see that this is sensative.. I was just making myself laugh with a silly old joke)

[stuntcat]

25. (I'm toast now)

.

[Labors of Hercules]

32. nah... you got the whole damn State of North Carolina to back you up

So don't sweat it! :bounce:

[Labors of Hercules]

39. yo UCP! Where'd you grow up?

Wilmington here.

[stuntcat]

43. Lumberton :O

I should be prouder of Robeson County, but mostly I'm glad I made it out alive :p

We used to go dancing in Wilmington a lot! That was like 15 years ago.

Are you from NC too or did you come just for school?

[Labors of Hercules]

44. from here, I leave occasionally but somehow keep coming back...

born in Wilmington, graduated Hoggard H.S. class of 93! Used to dance all over everywhere and play jazz at the Ice house before it closed down. :-(

[wildhorses]

29. my brother graduated from WCU

go catamounts:woohoo:

[BreweryYardRat]

6. NORTH Carolina?

And here I was hoping this would be a Gamecocks thread.

[wildhorses]

13. --

[Labors of Hercules]

33. bwahahahahahahahaha!!!

:rofl:

[crim son]

7. Well, The Carolina is my favorite bar because of a particular

bartender. Is that what you mean? :shrug:

[bmbmd]

27. She came to me. Said she knew me.

Said she'd known me a long time
And she talked of being in love
With every mountain she had climbed

And she talked of trails she'd walked up
Far above the timberline
From that night on I knew I'd write songs
For Carolina in the pines.

There's a full moon on the fourteenth
First quarter twenty-first
And a full moon in the last week
Brings a fullness to the earth.

There's no guess work in the clockwork
Of the world's heart or mine
There are nights I only feel right
With Carolina in the pines.

As the frost grows on the windows
The wood stove smokes and glows
As the fire glows we can warm our souls
Makin' rainbows in the coals.

And we talk of trails we walk up
Far above the timberline
There are nights I only feel right
With Carolina in the pines.

Yeah-I'm a big Carolina fan.

[Lex]

8. I was happy to see they snagged the top seed in the East in NCAA tourney!

Go Heels!

[Labors of Hercules]

40. heeeeeeeel Yeah!

:toast:

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

9. SPPPPPPPPPPSTTTTTTTTTT I went to NC State.

And I wanted NC State to win so bad. Dude, I want NC State to win the NCAA Championship and the ACC so damn bad, you just don't know.

[Lex]

10. NC State played so well today.

It was a great game. If they hadn't been playing UNC, I would've cheered for NCSU 100%.

[Labors of Hercules]

34. I was a little conflicted, actually...

I went to State too, graduated from App and now I work for UNC... I'm so glad we won, but secretly, oh so secretly... :yoiks:

[ForrestGump]

11. I'm a CarolinaPeridot fan

:D

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

15. Thank you !

I am always the champion ::two finger snaps :: ;)

[wildhorses]

12. so hard for me!!!

love ACC but, when i think about the dean smith era...gotta go with the heels:woohoo:

both my brothers were born here in the tarheel state

and for them

let me just say:

i'm a tarheel born
and
i'm a tarheel bred
and
when i die
i'm a tarheel dead
so
rah rah
carolina, lina
rah rah
carolina!!

go to hell, state:evilgrin:

but i like state and duke and pull for them when they are not playing unc:shrug:

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

17. When I was little ( around 9 years old ) I was a hard core Duke fan.

This was during the Christian Laettener/Grant Hill/Bobby Hurley years - I cut out every news paper article about Duke. I had sweatsuits and even a Duke blanket (my family still has this blanket) - in the fifth grade (as we had to do every year) we were encouraged to write a story and it was bounded like a real book, I wrote my story about Duke winning the Final Four. My teachers always encouraged my very vivid imagination. I know they thought I was nuts but hey I always passed ;)

Middle school, I was still a Duke fan ... I growled at anyone who thought differently.

Cut to high school, somehow it was all about Carolina Tarheels basketball. One day when I was a sophomore, we were after school at a steering committee meeting and we get word that Dean Smith (its a myth here in NC that where ever walks , light blue flowers appear with baby rams floating behind him) (ok I made that up but still - told you I have a very vivid imagination) was in the guidance office , I don't think I ever ran so fast before in my life. I did'nt want to be an ass so I pretended I was there for something else , I should have gotten his autograph or something.
My senior year of high school I LOVED Carolina basketball.

Cut to the time to enroll for college : I went to NC State ...

Gotta love the ACC .

[Labors of Hercules]

35. I'm with ya all the way, Horses!!

:evilgrin:

[GaYellowDawg]

16. The second you play Florida I will be.

Gator Hater here.

[NC_Nurse]

19. I live here and work at UNC...

but I really am not a sports fan. I think I'm the only one in town that doesn't give a shit.

:o

[Labors of Hercules]

36. Wanna know a little secret?

I never really gave a rip before I started working here... It's sort of a de-facto neccessity now though since my office overlooks the Smith Center.

[taterguy]

20. I was until I saw this thread

Would it kill the OP to add the word "North" to his thread title. The University of South Carolina gave us Hootie and the Blowfish. I don't want to think about what life would be like with no Hootie.

ps: Any fans who are coming to Winston for the games this weekend are welcome to PM me for suggestions on where to eat, etc.

[Labors of Hercules]

37. I said Carolina. There is only one Carolina, and it is in Chapel Hill, NC.

All other misuse of the word is blasphemy... :grr:

[taterguy]

41. Once it was blasphemy to say the world was round

There's nothing blasphemous about saying that the state of South Carolina exists. It provides a convenient buffer from Georgia and Florida. It also has some very scenic mountains and beaches.

Vermont Royster would be very unhappy about your disdain for accuracy.

[Labors of Hercules]

45. now, now... of course South Carolina EXISTS...

But you simply can't omit the "South" you see, otherwise people will assume you're talking about the best state university in the country, and we just wouldn't want them to make that mistake, now would we?

Hence CAROLINA (GO HEELS!) oh... sorry, where was I? ah yes... CAROLINA refers to the UNIVERSITY of NORTH CAROLINA (the aforementioned best state university in the country) and SOUTH CAROLINA refers to that school down there in Columbia.

I hope you enjoyed our lesson! Have a nice day.

[taterguy]

46. One absolute truth is that there are no absolutes

I thought all good liberal arts schools taught that. Maybe you skipped class that day.

[Labors of Hercules]

47. It must have been that stellar South Carolina education that taught you to confuse truth with fact.

Not that I blame you for the error, for it is a common mistake in places where one cannot drive 2 blocks without seeing a fish marked "TRUTH" eating a lizard named DARWIN.
:puke: sorry, reflex action. :toast:

[taterguy]

48. You're right, I must have gotten a crappy education

My diploma is from UNC Chapel Hill

[Labors of Hercules]

49. No my fine sir, for I was referring most emphatically to the South Carolina education...

you have been subjecting yourself to since you attended here. Truly you are fortunate to have received such a solid UNC foundation of expertise to prepare your mind to fight the horrid stupification that exposure to USC would undenyably produce had you not been adequately prepared.

TATER, I SALUTE YOU OH YE STRONG UNC GRADUATE, TO BATTLE SUCH HORRENDOUS ODDS IN THE PURSUIT OF... hmmm... what the hell are you doing down there anyway??? I hope its something splendedly noble.

:patriot:

[taterguy]

51. Stop it, please stop it

Why do some people hate UNC-Chapel Hill? Because of ignorant arrogant pukes like you. In the second post in this thread you claim that NC State beat UNC twice. The fact is that UNC won by 20 when the teams played in the Dean Dome.

Now you're claiming that I live in South Carolina despite the fact that I've clearly stated where I live in this thread.

Do the school a favor and shut the fuck up.

[Labors of Hercules]

52. I know where you live... it's called sarcasm.

Anybody with half a fucking brain can tell I'm being sarcastic so lighten the fuck up, DAMN! :grr:

[NewWaveChick1981]

26. Not a huge sports fan, but I'm still proud of my alma mater...

:hi: :D :toast:

[Midlodemocrat]

28. Carolina Sucks.

End.Of.Story.

[wildhorses]

30. you're just jealous

:rofl::hi:

[taterguy]

31. And this is a bad thing?

Just because Carolina does things other than the boring old missionary position is no reason to disparage it.

[Labors of Hercules]

38. well, that was either stupidity or sarcasm... I'll let you tell us which.

:rofl:

[MedleyMisty]

42. I went to Chapel Hill

For a semester - I sort of burned out and melted down and stuff.

Anyway, go Heels! :)

[Labors of Hercules]

50. ah Slee... I didn't go here either... no...

Appalachian is my true home, but work is here, so here I am.

[NC_Nurse]

53. I got 2 kids at ASU.

I love that place. It's beautiful...if a bit cold...for me, that is. :)
