Balmer signs with the 49'ers
As the National Football League gets into the pre-season mode I check around to see how the ex Tar Heels are doing. Of course the one that stands out the most is first rounder Kentwan Balmer, picked 29th by the San Francisco 49'ers.

 UNC Gridiron breakdown: Getting to know Rutgers
UNC Gridiron breakdown: Getting to know Rutgers
I guess as the season comes closer and closer it is now time to begin talking about the opponents of the Tar Heels. I am going to respectfully skip McNeese State, as it is a Division IAA, err, a Football Championship Subdivision, team and I am not going to find much about them, and I know even less of that team. So I will begin with the second game of the season against Rutgers.

Calling out those Tar Heels
UPDATE - A UNC fan blog picks up on this post and responds, giving three good reasons Carolina shouldn’t play App State. They all boil down to - “App State might win.” And you call yourself a BCS program. Now ain’t this cute. ...

 UNC vs Appalachian State, not quite yet!
UNC vs Appalachian State, not quite yet!
A little blog caught my eye as I was reading around the ACC blogosphere. It talks about the Appalachian State head coach wanting to play North Carolina. Even stating that coach Jerry Moore has tried to schedule the Tar Heels in his schedule and that Carolina has "balked" at it.

Stepheson headed to USC, maybe
As we all know, Alex Stepheson asked to transfer after the spring semester, stating that it was because of his father's health. While some think it is because of playing time, I'm going to believe the young man and say that he did it for family reasons. From what I have read around the Internet it seems that Stepheson will become a USC Trojan as of this fall.

All is well that ends well
While people everywhere were going off on the fact that someone on the national team was putting their NCAA ring on eBay and selling it, I didn't touch the story for a second. Why? Because (pun alert) it had a bad "ring" to it.

Interview with Pradamaster of Bullets Forever
As most of you that follow the ex Tar Heels would know, Antawn Jamison signed a very nice deal this off season, making him a Wizard for another four years. Since I try to keep tabs on the players that once played in Chapel Hill I figured I'd find a good blogger that follows the Washington team and ask him some questions about the three ex Heels on the squad.

Just a small follow up to the blog I had done about how Marcus Ginyard had missed a court date and articles had made it news when it wasn't. Well, had these media people done their homework they would have found that this wasn't the senior's fault, but his lawyer's.
