Doesn't make you a bad fan. You're just saving yourself heartburn and annoyance.
After Moo, I'm taking a break on watching basketball. I chose to come in to the office and knock some things out in lieu of watching the game today.

i still dvr both and won't check scores until i've watched.
now, after a loss by both programs i'm more likely to move on literally after a few minutes.
i can admit though, since butch davis became head coach and then fired, i'm way more emotionally charged up with carolina football than ever...i think i became a premium subscriber because of him...i even find myself arguing with folks about the football program more than the basketball program.

It's funny because I've also come full-circle on the basketball vs football thing. As y'all know, I post a ton more about football than basketball.
But my initial love of the Tar Heels started with basketball. Carolina football (and all college football, really) wasn't on my radar as a young kid because I watched whatever my dad watched which was Tar Heel basketball, NASCAR, golf, and Bucs football. When I asked him why we never watched UNC football (circa '99 or so), his response was simply "they usually suck"
But somewhere along the way, I've completely reversed and cannot get enough of Tar Heel football, whereas I have to work at getting into basketball (and usually can't until conference play). There's just something about it. I love Kenan, I love the energy at college football games. It sure as hell ain't the results lol, but I just can't get enough. I'm sorta disillusioned with basketball in general, of late.
thn11, and yet, despite what i typed, i've decided to do my annual game thread disappearance for carolina basketball b/c it's brought good karma during the last three years...i'll allow myself to post before and after games on the basketball boards, but not during games on the game day thread.
I usually record all Heels games and let them get about an hour ahead just to save time zipping through commercials and halftime jibber-jabber.
Normally I avoid peeking at the score but I did for the dook game and erased it without ever watching it.

I like to DVR all BB and FB games. I watch live but I like to go back and view key plays/calls made at critical times. As some have said, I am more into Football than Basketball. I guess I take BB somewhat for granted, but am eternally optimistic about FB. Go figure. Love them both!!!
I saw it yesterday without even knowing the score. Brice played well.Originally posted by mikeirbyusa:
To bad you missed a great game!
Brice & JP with double-doubles.
Has Meeks put back on a good portion of the weight he lost or do I need to adjust my TV picture?
No, don't think he has added any, this off season he can concentrate on getting lift and becoming a complete player. DESPERATELY needs to add a nice little jump-hook to his arsenal. For whatever reason, he simply cannot get a call no matter how hard he is fouled.Originally posted by UNC71-00:

how about meeks just learning to finish...also, perhaps a mean streak, although that just doesn't happen in some...take more food away????
Mean streak ---- yeah me and a buddy were talking about that recently, how carefree and passive Meeks is around the rim. Frustrates the crap outta me!! I guess you can't force or even teach a player to play "pissed off" but I sure wish he would be more that way.
Completely agree. I've noted many time that this is may be the "nicest" team we've ever had. That could be part of the consistency/intensity problem.
Back to the OP, my FIL has been DVRing Florida games for years and only watching if they win. He's had a lot more free time the last couple seasons, LOL.

Have a surprise birthday dinner for a friend tomorrow night. I've been waffling about going because of the game, but have decided to go. I'll DVR the game, do my best to ignore people yelling score updates at me, and watch it only if we win. Or maybe if it's a close game. I don't know. I've never done this before. I'm scared. Hold me.
third year in a row we're helping chair our kid's elementary school auction and it's always the same night as the last carolina/duke game...i dvr the game and avoid the tv in whatever establishment that is hosting...i'll turn off all score alerts, etc and avoid anyone that has an interest or that will tell me score updates on purpose.
two years ago i got really smashed, bid on close to a $1000 worth of shit and then came home and started the game at 12:30...duke was up 15-0 and led by 25 at half, i was so pissed.

Sorry, Billy.
At the time of that post, I had just found out that my FIL -- who lives in Florida -- was dropping by my house for a surprise overnight visit on his drive home from a job in Ohio. Even better, my wife was already out with friends for girls' night so I had to rush home to straighten up the house before he got there. Was a wee bit stressed out. My bad.

My apologies to you, I was just teasing in trying to make you feel bad about missing the Heels' game . . I know you got some good friends that share a lot of holiday celebrations, and you can't ignore them.
Enjoy the party . .!
