I know this is somewhat non BB related, but it is significant. Plus never forget North Carolina is the epicenter of the BB universe or at least here in the US.

Woody Durham was the radio voice of North Carolina Tar Heel football and basketball from 1971 to 2011 and he went to that great press box in the sky early this morning. Sure Woody was a definitive "Homer" but he was a artist at painting a audio picture. Particularly in basketball, his ability to call football was kinda "meh", then again so is Tar Heel football. But in hoops he might be the best ever on the radio, and year in and year out there was one week where he was the unquestionable best and that was the ACC tournament. The Tar Heel sports network pioneered the concept of wall to wall radio coverage and for many of those years it was Woody giving the blow by blow for every game. So it is poetic he shuffles his mortal coil the week of the event, his son Wes (who is perhaps even better) is slated to be on the call for at least the night sessions for today and tomorrow. And he did the Wake-Syracuse game last night, now I know why the ACC network coverage wound up so quickly.

A public memorial has been announced for April 8th after the season is done. It will be a great celebration of his life and legacy. Yet I don't see this doubling as a celebration for another NCAA title as even though this Tar Heel team is hella fun to watch they are so frightfully flawed as to ensure that anything beyond the round of 16 will be gravy. Even winning the ACC tournament is a tall order with one extra game to play and being in the same bracket as those bastards eight miles to the west. I actually will make a bold prediction right now, I see UNC as a four seed, if the 13 they draw is a team of three point shooting demons ala Rik Smits Clogs then I see a distinct possibility of the Heels being dumped right on their asses.

As for the evil empire, they are their own worst enemy. If the Dookies get their heads out of their collective asses ain't nobody stopping them. But those guys collectively have the look of a crew marking time until the season is done and they call declare for the draft.

Michigan State is probably the most consistent team out there. Perhaps UVA could bore everyone to death for six games and win the whole thing. Or maybe this is one of those seasons where a Cinderella comes out of nowhere to take home the crown.

Yes digital field theory which is the name of the company that owns BB is based in Boston. But I assure you a lot more people from NC or with ties to this state are out here than you think. So when I use "epicenter" that is what I mean.

As usual this is another one of your halfwit attempts to try and act like you know what your talking about. Yet in reality it shows just how misguided you are. Then again when are you ever right about ANYTHING?

to wit: https://youtu.be/XqeTmdXu8_s no wonder why you've never won a thing out here aside from a gimme d5 title ten plus seasons ago.

I think you like to try and bamboozle your way into my threads because I will banter with you and show some tolerance towards your tomfoolery.

No more, at least not in this thread. I have been very nice towards you. I even speak up for your right to be part of this community, though there are MANY who would just soon see you banned or at least silenced. Yet in other threads you try to have MY view silenced. Your a shallow,vain, snake in the grass and I have heard just about enough.

Have you had a under 21 player at all. I am trying to not get into a argument and get ban again. I have one on my main team and it took me until 19th season to get one.

I also believe the reason why I wasn't advancing in division 4 is because I was networking and hence how I met you. I was trying to learn those years. Now I have played every offense and defense on this game that work.

Don't get me started on you. TBH you realize the last time I have done a attack personally was when I was back on the grind and was attacking and finding proof on other youtuber's. Now my mentors who have mentored me and my playing experience is about to get me a community college job in Coachella California.

You should at least be happy for me I have been working at this since I knew I was behind coaches son in basketball for the high school team. I have the pedigree to get a job like this and work myself up.

I don't understand why my Aunt is unhappy when I and my older cousin paved the road for little cousin and he is still not getting into the youtube industry. I don't understand 2 people who are extremely a like tell me I can't get the job when 1. I have plenty of professional mentors in the field playing and coaching to be exact.

Oh you mean THIS job? https://agency.governmentjobs.com/collegeofthedesert/job_b...

First off son, you don't even remotely have the qualifications. No bachelor's degree. No viable life experience. Just because you got to ride the bench in that one horse town you live in does not a college basketball head coach make. I think you just like to see how high you can make that steaming pile of excrement because you get your jollies on seeing others call balderdash on your shenanigans. Either that or your just a delusional twit.


Getting back to the topic of the thread. And this does pertain to your rooting interest, with the retirement last year of Woody's former schoolmate Bob Harris at Duke that leaves ECU radio man Jeff Charles as the longest tenured in the state though Gary Hahn at NC State has been around almost as long.

You're wrong I got all the qualifications but the degree. Degree's are just guidelines now. Stop talking to me.

All you need to know is : WIN games, how to build a program, and how to graduate students. Also rules of conference and that conference used to be where UCLA won all those championships back in the 1950s.

Hey this is my thread, and you just waltz in and try to hijack it to serve your own ego to hype a life achievement that you are not in position to reach, and which you will NEVER EVER reach.

Well now the gloves come off compadre

It is increasingly obvious to all your losing grasp on reality. Nobody is in the mood to hear any more of your self aggrandizing malarkey. And no one buys a single thing you say. I am sorry to be cruel in my comments but what a sad hopeless life you must live. I imagine your typical interactions around that desolate place you dwell must engender quite a bit of hostility. Though I bet those who have daily interactions with you long ago learned to just tune you out. And the collective on this site has tuned you out probably consider you to be a tool worth maybe a laugh but no one to ever be taken seriously.

Yes maybe if I retain relationships that shoulda never happen in the first place. Maybe i'll have a grasp of reality in your term.
You realize that All of my plans/attacks and everything I do is calculated to the point of all variables is included???

Do you realize your falling for a trap of me doing so many attacks on other famous people you just want to get notice??? Either way

I have done everything a Man could want to do. Get jobs, leave your kids out the hood or low income area. Move to the most viable land of movie and the music industry. What else man.

Either way some of my immediate family NEVER talks to me. is it because I am in the top 1% of people or is it because they think I am retarded like you say??? My friends I went to improve my self and deleted all contacts back when I was 19 years old hence why I didn't go to university.

Just please stop. I can't find jobs in this area my skills and pay rate outweighs every job here.
