Anyone else notice that there was a Lehigh score flashing across the bottom of the screen right as Henson dunks?

Comment on Barnes, Henson and Marshall to pursue their dream of coming off the bench for the Raptors by Jonathan Gladston

We will see hwat happens. I think John Henson was ready the most being a junior and ending the season strong. I felt Harrison needed another year to prove himself because the season ended on a dissipointment. Kendall did end the year on the upside and at his peak. I still felt he needed a year to work on his shooting to complete his game and would have been a great teacher for Marcus Paige. I do not see any of the three being all starts at loeast not right way. I wonder if I were to look at the NBA stats of leading scorers, assits, rebounds, blocked shots, how many of them left college before their junior year? Guess it is hard to pass up that kind of money.

Comment on Does Ty Lawson know something we don’t? by MH

Sadly, I read it exactly the opposite. Might he be saying, “Don’t worry Tar Heel fans, even though you are about to lose all your studs, coach Roy and the Tar Heel tradition will still translate into another good year….”. Sounds like he is trying to gently prepare us for the worst. Otherwise, wouldn’t he have chosen a word beyond the ultimate of mediocrity and average: “good”? I so hope I am wrong. Class of ’89.

It’s Utah State. Not surprised, coming from a Heel hole fan.

Comment on Tar Heel Bred, Tar Heel Dead – Episode 55 by Martin

Great episode, guys.

A big part of the appeal of your show is the feeling that you’re talking with like-minded fans. And you delivered in spades today: you summed up perfectly the way I feel. Disappointed, and filled with “what ifs”, but able to carry on with life. Even feeling a little bit of pride, and remembering the good times. Losing to Kansas, for example, was 1,000 times less worse than that loss to Duke. And interestingly, I think the near catastrophe (and injury or no injury it would have been that: a catastrophe)loss to Ohio made us immune in advance to the pain. It was like we saw death, feared it, maybe even accepted it a little… and then were spared it. So when the end came…we’d been there. And at least we didn’t go out like chumps.

As we near the end, let me say y’all have REALLY hit your stride this season. When you do your year in review, I’d like to hear from YOU which was your most enjoyable show, or which you think were the “best of” this season. For me, you guys hit another level during two moments a)the Ian Williams episode, and b)the alumni rap album episodes.

Keep on with it. Don’t be too lazy during the summer!

Comment on How To Sum Up Harrison Barnes? by Martin

Martin — Tue, 27 Mar 2012 09:01:10 +0000

Wow. Totally destroyed him, but gently so. And Caspian Kang is a Tar Heel fan, so this cuts deep.

I’m not ready to give up on him (because he’s coming back next year), and even if he goes pro I’ll remember him fondly.

But there are degrees of fondly. More fondly than Brandan Wright. But less fondly than Danny Green. And much less fondly than Ty Lawson or Tyler Hansbrough. Or even Zeller.

In fact the worst indictment is that I’ll remember him substantially less fondly than anyone who has a shirt in the rafters.

Another year? All could be forgiven. The legend could be earned. Do it, Harrison.

Earn this.

Comment on Stilman White is Ready for His Closeup by Scott

^That was just a really stupid post… 60 minutes in 2 games going 13 assists and no turnovers… throughout the rest of the season he only played about 128 minutes total and only had 1 turnover never playing for more than 4 or 5 minutes a game. There is no way anyone could reasonably ask Stilman to go out there and do anymore than he did. He played WAY better than any expectations anyone had of him. Jim sir…. that was just a bad and uncalled for post all the way around!
