We use the same joke as the fat middle-aged data entry clerk in your office when you ask her how her day is going (even though you really don’t care) to bring you our favorite links from the weekend… Skydivers, meaning to land at UNC, instead land 8 miles away…at Duke. Fanhouse recaps college football’s week one …Clemson fans might want to turn away. Some ...

It has to be said. Clemson's 34-10 loss to Alabama was pitiful, and absolutely the worst thing that could have happened to the ACC this weekend. Virginia Tech losing to ECU was bad enough, but adding Clemson on top is only worse. UNC struggled against McNeese State, only winning 35-27, and Maryland didn't look very good in their 14-7 win over Deleware. Of the ACC teams that played this week, ...

Alrighty then…. There is a double edged sword when it comes to playing I-AA teams. If you blow them off the face of the earth then it is a grain of salt moment because it was a I-AA team. If you struggle ending up in a nip and tuck affair, then you suck because it was a I-AA team. Over the next few days, UNC will find themselves victim of the latter and honestly that is not ...

What the…. I am not sure were Robbi Pickeral is going with this one. When he was asked Monday whether he’d try to work a back-up quarterback into Saturday’s game against McNeese State, North Carolina coach Butch Davis said he didn’t know. “We’re just trying to get a first down,” he said. But considering what happened to N.C. State’s ...

Where: Kenan Stadium, Chapel Hill, NC When: Saturday, August 30th, 6:00 PM TV: NONE Radio: Tar Heel Sports Network Records: UNC 0-0, MSU 0-0 Butch Davis: Year #2 McNeese State comes in having finished 11-0 during the regular season in 2007 and by all accounts is a good football team on the I-AA level. UNC opens the season with as much hype and anticipation surrounding any season ...

Via ESPN ACC Blog : UNC WR Cooter Arnold, ankle, doubtful DB Charles Brown, ankle, questionable LB Linwan Euwell, knee, doubtful DB LeCount Fantroy, hand, questionable DB Johnny White, thigh, questionable Charles Brown is the only key player on the list here and his injury has been publicized for some time. Brown was a starter for most of last season so getting him back would be ...

Davis addresses what the heck went wrong. A great deal of tonight’s credit has to go to McNeese State. They played better than us in a lot of phases. The only phase they didn’t play as well in was with Brandon Tate. Brandon had a phenomenal game. He played extraordinarily well on offense. He played extremely well on special teams. We talked about it going into the season. He is a ...

Brandon Tate: A+ Everyone Else: D- Not a pretty game. A win’s a win, but these guys let a I-AA opponent control the game. That has to change if Carolina wants to go bowling.

Quite honestly, I don't give a rat's ass on how the games wind up. As of this posting, these are the current scores of the ACC games in progress: -UNC 21 - McNeese State 20, 1:00 3rd Q -Duke 14 - James Madison 7, Halftime -Alabama 23 - Clemson 3, Halftime (with just 89 total f#$%ing yards!) -Boston College 21- Kent State 0, 11:54 4th Q And let's not forget that Maryland hung on against ...

Cincinnati Bearcat Mascot caught in wires SkyDiving, Video . Just like the UNC Duke Skydiving video , this really did happen. I guess we can all answer the age old question, ” What is a Bearcat?” The answer is “stupid”. OUCH! I kid. Hat tip goes to Extra Mustard via Fanhouse .

Duke and North Carolina are just miles apart, well this Skydiver drops down on the wrong stadium . He was supposed to drop down on the UNC campus, but he crashed the Duke game. This really did happen. Hat tip to Deadspin via Fanhouse .

When I received an email about this video I thought it was just a joke from friend of mine. But then, looking around some of the web sites I go to on a regular basis, I began seeing this YouTube video was no joke. So, because it is about North Carolina, and it is about Duke, and we all know about the rivalry, here is the video. Nothing wrong you saw on the video, just a skydiver landing ...

Sometimes coach's speak is true. When I read an answer given by head coach Butch Davis before the home opener with McNeese State I just thought "another answer from the book of Coach Speak". Instead, after the game was over, maybe just maybe, coach Davis knew more about this game than he let on. He was asked if he'd try to work a backup quarterback into Saturday's game against McNeese ...

I know North Carolina and Duke are real close to each other, but still, I can't believe this actually happened. Yesterday, North Carolina was scheduled to have the game ball delivered by skydivers for their opening game. But the ball never showed up. Why? The team in charge of floating the ball down from the sky landed at Duke's Wallace Wade Stadium instead . Evidently, when ...

"WTF. December already?" The Clemson Tigers were the hope of the ACC this year , especially after Virginia Tech coughed up an L to East Carolina in Charlotte earlier today. Yes, I understand that Wake Forest and *shudder* North Carolina are supposed to finish with good records and have dangerous teams (note that Carolina only beat McNeese St. by a touchdown). But ...

A "Quick Hit Post" is needed right now. I thought I would be doing one about the first half of the game, but instead I am doing one about the fact that who is really winning at Kenan Stadium is the weather. The Heels are up by the score of 14-0 on the Cowboys, but the weather has eveyone off the field and from what I heard nothing will happen until close to 9:00 p.m. EST. Great job so far ...

Just a few things to know about this upcoming season for North Carolina. First of all the Carolina Basketball Museum will be open this Saturday from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. EST. So, if you are looking for something to do before the game between McNeese State and North Carolina, here is something I am sure you would enjoy! Just remember that those hours are only going to be when the football ...

Despite sharing a name, I have no affiliation with the Duke football team. And thank God: they suck on toast. To the point that ATHLISTS decided to use them as their “model” program when breaking down the steps to take in order to build The Worst Football Program in America . (And no, Notre Dame haters, “have failed gastric bypass surgery, then sue” was not one of the ...
