Another Carolina team is trying to get it done the hard way. The Diamond Heels have been following a familiar pattern for certain UNC sports this school year. After blitzing Hofstra in their NCAA Tournament opener for an eighth straight victory, Carolina could not defend the home field advantage that winning streak produced, lost to […]

Apparently, it’s true that money doesn’t make you smart. David Tepper must have known what he was doing in accumulating a net worth of more than $1 billion (that is a million dollars multiplied by one thousand if anyone is counting). But what he has done with that money in the sports world is a […]

A tough school year has come to an end for N.C. State athletics. A trip to the controversial 2021 College World Series left State with 13 eligible players due to COVID protocols and cost the Wolfpack a chance to win its fourth national championship of any kind in school history. That was only the beginning […]

The Hurricanes lost the seventh-game coin flip. Remember when we talked about the Carolina Hurricanes playing with fire because they had not won a single road game? The Canes not only lost all six playoff games away from PNC Arena, they did so by an aggregate score of 26-10. That’s bad and dangerous. So after […]

Was this the greatest day ever to be a Tar Heel? Sunday, May 29, 2022. Within a late afternoon hour or so, the Carolina Women’s Lacrosse team finished off a 22-0 season with its third NCAA championship and the first such undefeated record in the sport since 2017. And the UNC baseball team completed a […]

Young, smart, cool, contemporary, that’s Courtney Banghart. The last time women’s basketball meant as much to Carolina and the Chapel Hill community, Sylvia Hatchell had it going. She won a national championship in 1994 on a Charlotte Smith buzzer beater that had fans saying “back-to-back” after Dean Smith had won his last NCAA title the […]

Sooner or later the Carolina Hurricanes are going to do it. But what are they going to do? If you are not a hardcore Caniac, you might not realize that the local National Hockey League team is having a Jekyll and Hyde postseason. They are still alive after four games of the second round but […]

Steve Kerr is so much more than a basketball coach. The NBA and NHL playoffs went on as scheduled Tuesday night, but Steve Kerr clearly didn’t want to talk about his Golden State Warriors in the game tipping off in less than an hour. He entered his pre-game press conference before his team was trying […]

Is Hubert Davis willing to play the waiting game? One week remains before the deadline for players who have declared for the NBA Draft to pull themselves out and return to college. And some of them are also in the transfer portal and can pick a second school to play for next season. It’s pretty […]

The longer Mike Fox is retired, the more his greatness grows. Mike Fox was honored over the weekend with his No. 30 now gracing the façade and the pitching mound at Boshamer Stadium. He has been retired for three years, and since then the mediocrity has returned that defined the Diamond Heels pre-Fox. It’s not […]
