LOLbama

“Yes we can” + LOLCats = Yes we can haz


Who’s your hero?

Foo Fighters | My Hero:

“Don’t the best of them bleed it out
While the rest of them peter out
Truth or consequence, say it aloud
Use that evidence, race it around

There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
He’s ordinary”

Confession: I had a man crush on Randolph Childress

Since I’m caught up in all in ACC tournament craziness, I’d like to revisit the greatest moment in ACC tournament history.

Randolph Childress and his amazing performance to lead Wake Forest to the 1995 ACC tournament title.

Childress was the Barack Obama of the ACC tournament. Even Carolina fans were cheering him on as he was breaking Jeff McInnis’ ankles on his way to an ACC championship:

That year he averaged 35 points and 7 assists per game in the tournament. Unreal.

Charlotte is the worst ACC tournament host. Evar.

The glory and beauty that is the ACC Men’s Basketball tournament unfortunately loses a little shine this year because it’s hosted in Charlotte.

The thousands of back-seat Carolina fans living in Charlotte that will fill the arena in their powder blue polo shirts and sweaters, sipping their Tab colas (or insert another Carolina joke here) and asking each other “what time does Tyler’s ‘will’ play?”
