popcorn.

My memory is that we backed off of Wall because of Clifton and there was a rumor going around that Wall did some shady stuff which caused Roy to back off. However, from stories about Tyler, I could sorta see this happening.

Most rebounds in UNC history.
Most double-doubles in UNC history.

Just a great representative of Tar Heel basketball.

Now let's get your jersey in the rafters big fella!

I guess I must be a little confused. I didn't see where the lady heels forum is? So, there's not one?


if so that's unacceptable.

Found an interesting write up titled

"A look at what Chip Lindsey brings to UNC" on tarheelblog website posted on 19 Jan

I won't link it directly here as I am not sure if it is considered competition to this site.

It is worth googling and a read IMHO

For all those who wanted Longo out I am not sure Chip is going to be the answer.

The change in OL coach last year appeared to be paying some dividends, I really hope the new OL coach will be able to advance that progress in an accelerated fashion.

As for Chip and his in game play calling, man I hope he can be better than what folks are presenting as expected.

With all the skill talent the offense has it needs to be multiple. My biggest complaint with Longo was how he would lock in on players instead of spreading it. The early games albeit against weak teams was what I had hoped his offense would be. Chip don't go 80 % run focused and forget the passing game please.

Balance is a beautiful thing .02

@andrew jones who is Rob Everett?

Wisconsin site is stating he was an offensive assistant for UNC under Longo and he just joined Wisconsin staff.

Was Rob one of the analyst staff?

Just curious as I don't recall his name ever coming up on the board.

Leaving ND at the end of the season

He has a Chip on his Shoulders and He said he was overlooked in recruiting.I guess if we don't come out and play this game with Urgency Pride and Passion this game can get out of Hand. We did embarrass them in Chapel Hill last Year. What the did to Dook was no Fluke.

I notice that Pomeroy currently lists these guys as top candidates for ACC POY.


It struck me that those 5 could be a pretty good team. That doesn't always happen - sometimes the POY list will have too many at the same posiition, for example.

While this team should be good, I'm not sure it would be my choice. In particular, I might swap out one of the PGs for a true SF to make a more balanced team. Maybe Clemson's Hunter Tyson (62.7), if he's considered a SF.

Needless to say, Armando would make my team.

Who would be on your team?
