You guys gotta give it up for Berry today though. Kid was dynamite! Killer daggers he was throwing and his on and off ball defense was great. You make any kind of mistake with the ball near him, be it minor or major, and he will take it the other way. He is really strong.

Berry's good; I like the guy a lot. He's just not the second coming of Raymond Felton, at least not yet, like some over there claim he is. Nothing wrong with that at all, as filling Felton's shoes is a tall order. Berry has been one of our most consistent performers all season long, and is a very solid PG. I'm a big fan of Berry's.

Agreed on this, but I will say that he looked Felton-esque today! Making clutch 3's, driving to the hoop and finishing, and leading the fast break.
 
They've got a thread on radar about the ESPN conspiracy against UNC.

I don't buy that ESPN has a conspiracy against UNC, or really any other team/program. I do buy that they have favorite teams/players/coaches that they fawn over ad nauseum (LeBron, Peyton Manning, coach K, any SEC football team, all get slurped much more than they deserve). I also buy that they are willing to sell teams/players down the river at the drop of a dime in order to get a first report and/or hot take, without properly investigating the situation and getting their facts straight (UNC academics, Penn State fiasco, DeflateGate, even Duke Lacrosse to some extent).
 
Or the should HAVE, could HAVE.;)

How did "of" ever replace "have" in the English language?

Eh, some people just have those things that tick them off - which I can appreciate. One of my main ones on the message boards is when people state something is a fact, when in actuality it is clearly an opinion.

There's a girl I know that for whatever reason thought "Hand-me-downs" were called "handy-downs" because it was handy to have old stuff from a sibling. And it also pisses me off to no end when people say, or even worse write/type, "expresso" instead of "espresso"

They definitely show favoritism, but I think they do that because they think it's what the viewer wants. It's all about eyeballs for them. It's hard for me to believe that there is a conspiracy because UNC has it's own basketball blog on ESPN.com. UNC is the only team with that.

I was joking around with him some. Misusing their and there irritate me. I'm also not a fan of to and too. I had an English teacher in high school that would go into stores and tell them to fix their signs if she saw a mistake. That was a little over the top for me.

Espn shows favoritism to the teams people want to watch play. I have no patience for the flaming idiotic dumbass morons over there who claim the acc, espn, and the ncaa conspire against us. And yes some truly do believe that. Its embarrassing to have them as unc fans. I mean, it takes a special level of plain dumbassery to even entertain the thought. I have to question the ability of someone who believes that to be able to negotiate the problems of every day life.

But was she hot? If she was, well then she gets a pass.

That is over the top. An English teacher is going to be passionate about that, however. Have and Of are not even homophones. That's why it grabs my attention.

Back to B-Ball...
 
We have been pretty intense early and ND has been fortunate. Would like to see us pound it inside all night.
