Duke flat out hands down played better than UNC the entire game. Duke led practically the whole time. It is sad that for such a supposedly "deep bench" team that UNC fans blame the loss on missing Lawson. When great teams are missing key players the other members of that TEAM rise to the challenge and overcome the situation. The only team that is worried about March is Carolina because they got exposed. UNC has only played two teams who were in the Top 25 all year. The first one was against Clemson who is no longer ranked. The second game was Duke and we all know what happened.
 Weak schedule. Weak excuses.

I am a huge Tar Heel fan in the midst of USC fans that are full of themselves.  The Gamecock fans say that UNC doesn't want to play them in any sport.

[editor's note, by TH] Bumping up from the diaries because really, who can deny the name Bobby Blizzard?

Former Tar Heel Tight End Bobby Blizzard has finally gotten back in the NFL and its about time!! The Cincinnati Bengals are giving Bobby a second chance after his stellar play in NFL Europa this season ... Blizzard led the Centurions with 38 receptions for 494 yards and six touchdowns. Its only a one year deal, but all he has to do is keep himself from being arrested and that should keep him on the roster (kick a dog when he's (bengals) down), eh

GOOD LUCK BLIZZARD!!!! One of the Greatest Names in Carolina History, only behind Alge Crumpler, who happens to be a Tight End as well ... hmmm

curious to how many wins everyone thinks that coach davis can get out of the team in his first season. yes, he has done a great job on recruiting in only his first year. and we have some talented recivers but is there anybody that can get them the ball. our defense should be descent with the defense line. but the offense is a wild card, i think that sexton can be a good player, but in just his second year he might not be what we need and there could be some one else taking the snaps later into the season.

[Editor's note, by TH] I'm bumping this up from the diaries as it's a more detailed look at the article I mentioned earlier that's definitely worth reading. I'll go further into my own thoughts on the subject a little later, and maybe eventually get around to writing that What If bit about the 2006 season this week...

I was gonna comment on the "Early Entry" Post you had, but the comments are disabled so I'll just state my opinion via the Diary Section ...

Here's the article stating which UNC early Draft entrants were or were not successful by leaving early. And here's my thoughts (i was born in 83' so let me start with):

Jerry Stackhouse, 1995: Writer's Opinion - Left too Early. - What more did Stackhouse have to do in his NBA career? Sure he excelled mightily at UNC, but not every UNC guy is destined for great success in the NBA. I feel Stackhouse had/has a very reputable career in the NBA. "Stackhouse could have developed into a Hall of Fame caliber player" - I think Stackhouse became what he is, a player who can be very electric but doesnt have the stamina whether it be conditioning or what not to sustain any time of consistent dominance. I definitely don't think added time in college would have helped him.

Rasheed Wallace, 1995: Writer's Opinion - Left too Early. - The writer says Wallace would have benefitted from staying by maturing more. Again Wallace is who he is. More seasoning/experience in the Div-I Basketball was not gonna make him more mature. Plus he's had an above average NBA career in my eyes.

Antawn Jamison, 1998: Writer's Opinion - Left at right time. - The writer claims Tawn made the right decision by making boat loads of money, but yet so did Stackhouse and Wallace. Also to say Jamison is the most successful Tar Heel since Jordan is a little lopsided. How about Vince Carter? Sure he doesnt have a Championship, but he's played the majority of his career in Toronto. In the end I too agree with the writer in that Antawn made the right decision of leaving when he did.

Vince Carter, 1998: Writer's Opinion - Left too Early. - "Carter could have developed leadership skills and a rugged exterior. As it stands, he's an entertaining but soft pro. He should have come back." - I'll give you "soft" but he wouldnt have become any more of a leader or gained any more ruggedness had he stayed another year. Carter is an outstanding player, but like Tracy McGrady, he lacks the role players it takes to win that championship. I mean what is New Jersey doing by wasting the tandem of Kidd, Carter, and Jefferson? eek

Joseph Forte, 2001: Writer's Opinion - Left too Early. - This guy absolutely left too early. He was barely wet behind the ears when he left (whatever that means). I was absolutely shocked when he opted to leave and I was equally shocked when he was drafted as early as he was by the Boston Celtics. We should see Forte on one of those "Where are they now?" episodes on VH1 in the near future. I don't fully comprehend how someone with such talent could completely turn into nothing more than a trivia question. Joe where are you man!?!?

Raymond Felton, 2005: Writer's Opinion - Left at right time. - Ray Felton absolutely left at the right time, its a shame what Bickerstaff has done with the talent in Charlotte: Sean May, Raymond Felton, Gerald Wallace, and Omeka Okafur? Are you kidding me? Raymond will have a consistent and sometimes dominant career should he continue to keep his endurance up. This guy is easily my favorite Tar Heel next to Ed Cota and Shammond Williams (theres something about those point guards)

Rashad McCants, 2005: Writer's Opinion - Left at right time. - It's hard to argue that any player should stay after having won a National Title, but to me Rashad should have stayed. Raymond and Sean carried that team in 05' as did David Noel and Jackie Manuel, but Rashad to me faded into the background. Had he stayed one more year, he would had to carry the entire team and may have stretched his game to new heights.

Marvin Williams, 2005: Writer's Opinion - Left at right time. - We barely knew thee. I'm not even sure what led an NBA team to select him so high, maybe ESPN Showcasing, I dont know. I never saw what the media and hype saw in Marvin Williams and now that he plays for the Hawks I never will. He should have definitely stayed in college.

J.R. Smith, 2006: He wasnt on the list, but he did sign a letter of intent to UNC, but elected to jump straight from highschool to the nba. To me the kid will eventually turn into a key component on his nba team, but right now he's basically a fringe player and its sad because he can leap small buildings in a single .... ahhh, anyway I think J.R. Smith would have definitely benefitted from going to college, if anything NBA teams would have had a better idea of what type of player he is and what type of playing time he should receive (which he currently isnt).

That's it from me, feel free to rip the opinions if you wish

sooooo I've taken a long hiatus from being a full-fledged Tar Heel fan. Not because I piggy backed on another school (although FSU is my first love). My absence basically stems from graduating from college, a disappointing existence of Carolina Football under John Bunting, and the Mets finally playing GOOD baseball. I also have to admit that after Raymond Felton and the boys won that Title, I lost a little bit of interest in the BBall team. Okay a lot of interest. I still kept up with the team, but from a far.

I'm still infatuated with the Heels and with the new Coaching in place (Thank You collegiate jesus for Butch Davis) and I've got a UNC Tattoo so it's kind of hard to disown the university, heh. Anyway I was hoping you guys could give me a quick brush up on what the starting line-up for the football team is shaping up to be. Who's QBing? Who will replace McGill? Any potential Peppers come-ups?

Thanks in advance for the education.

I dont think that anyone is ready to go pro other than Tyler and I think he is gonna stay at least one more year but I would like to know what you all think about it and think is going to happen.  Do you think Roy can convince them to stay to get that National Championship. There is also a poll about who you think is going pro inside here so click on read more and vote please I really wanna know everyone elses opinion

The comparisons to Everyone  loves Raymon Felton have already been discussed numerous times.  Just wanna know what you guys think about how long he will stay in college.  I dont think he could leave after this season.  Im hoping for 4 years but Im guessing after his junior year the NBA will be calling his name.

And, does anyone have any cool nicknames for Ty Lawson.  Everyone Loves Raymond was pretty good.

The Cheap Shot by Gerald Henderson(one of ACC's worst) was not nearly as dissapointing as Tyler's teammates standing there and doing NOTHING after such a cheap shot! They looked scared to death! So get ready, now that everyone knows they can cheap shot you and get away with it, it's sure to happen again. Hope Tyler's wimpy teammates never need the Big Fella to watch their back! This lack of team comradarie will eventually doom the Heels.
