well we only scored 57 points. I'm not sure what to think of a game where we win by 13 points and only score 57.

conclusion - our defense is pretty good. Georgia is pretty bad.

Georgia is unspeakably bad. You'd think with Atlanta sitting down the road and North Carolina, Florida and Virginia being close by as well, that they'd be able to recruit well enough to not look so mid-major year-after-year.

A football school, sure, but so are Florida and Texas (and to a lesser degree Tennessee), and they do pretty good on the b-ball side as well.

he is already there, although I think he on his second attempt to disband them or severely limit them.

I hope so. The TSA is horrible. Pistole (sp?) is in bed with the people who make the body scanners, and so was his predecessor.

The TSA nazis need to be disbanded. I scream at the TV like a crazy old man every time I hear one of their shills proudly take credit for the lack of successful airport/airline related terrorism in the last few years. The whole correlation-causation thingy eludes them.

All that shit is to make fliers feel safe; it's not to make air travel safer. More people are happy with the protocols, in general, than not because of fear. Take your shoes off? I'm cool with that. Diligence at the scanners with extra wands and swabbing of bags? No probs, I want to get to my aunt's for Thanksgiving safe. Make me leave my shampoo because it's Costco sized? Alright, you're getting close to "tread on me" status. Take xray images of my fat ass to check for weapons? Aw hell nawl!!!

Finally, we have something that will get people upset about this stuff.

I wonder if the upper seats will have seatbacks instead of bleachers ?
All seats will be chairbacks. Proposed seating is between 25.5 and 26 k. Should be a nice place when completed.

Yeah, the stormtrooper thing is a bit strange. Maybe that's what security will be wearing.

I'm excited about it. I think its the right decision as opposed to building a new one.

"Nike announced on Wednesday that North Carolina is one of eight teams that will wear a special Nike Hyper Elite Platinum uniform for a game this season. UNC will wear the uniform for its Feb. 29 home finale against Maryland."

I love some of it, hate some of it, don't care about some of it, but I am unsure which I love, which I hate and which I don't care about.

not much difference, it will have a team logo "watermarked" into the design

I think we had silver uniforms about 6 years ago , wore them twice, lost both times and shelved those bad luck pieces of shit

The Kentucky has the checked blue stripes on the sides while the UNC has argyle diamonds. Totally different...
