Great Game!

I don't think the officials saw the contact. Many times, when a player is hit in the eye, you don't realize it until you see the player grab his face. I'm not calling a foul based on a player grabbing his face.

Cool graphic.


I'm wondering if the face was moving toward the defender.

The Heels average 83 points against the Big Ten.

Evidently, there was no defender.

Shoot! They're just doing what they do!
That's the Research Triangle for cryin' out loud!
I'm glad they're pumped they oughta be.

By the way, did Roy cry, and is he, in fact, on a first tee?

I must ask,

1. What is a Tar Heel?
(A heel of a person who stepped in tar?)

2. What is an Illini?
(Is this just a person from Illinois?)

Maybe with his family after the game. He got kind of teary eyed, talking about his high school coach. He and Coach Smith had a huge affect on Roy's life, as his parents were divorced when he was small. When KU lost to UNC in the semis in '93, Roy sat with his HS coach while watching Carolina beat Michigan in the finals. His coach said, "Someday, I'll be sitting here, watching you win one of these." And of course his coach was there Monday night.

And no, no golf. He was in the air at 8am this morning, on the recruiting trail. A co-worker of mine's husband is a pilot and flies him around quite a bit. He was in Syracuse and St. Louis. In fact, he picked him up in Kansas and brought him to Chapel Hill, the day he came home two years ago.

In 1629, King Charles I of England "erected into a province," all the land from Albemarle Sound on the north to the St. John's River on the south, which he directed should be called Carolina. The word Carolina is from the word Carolus, the Latin form of Charles.

When Carolina was divided in 1710, the southern part was called South Carolina and the northern, or older settlement, North Carolina. From this came the nickname the "Old North State." Historians have recorded that the principal products during the early history of North Carolina were "tar, pitch, and turpentine." It was during one of the fiercest battles of the War Between the States, so the story goes, that the column supporting the North Carolina troops was driven from the field. After the battle the North Carolinians, who had successfully fought it out alone, were greeted from the passing derelict regiment with the question: "Any more tar down in the Old North State, boys?" Quick as a flash came the answer: "No, not a bit, old Jeff's bought it all up." "Is that so; what is he going to do with it?" was asked. "He's going to put on you-un's heels to make you stick better in the next fight." Creecy relates that General Lee, upon hearing of the incident, said: "God bless the Tar Heel boys," and from that they took the name

2. What is an Illini?

The Illini are Indian tribes who first arrived in what is now known as Illinois in the 1500's. The state took it's name from the tribe.

Good stuff, Tony!
Thanks!
