Kick
ass, take names... Heels Rule!
Carolina 70 - Weak Forest 69

Player of the Game

Raleigh _
Carolina
played their best game of the
season while whipping Weak Forest. And they call WFU #4 in
the country? Pah-lease... give me a break! We just
saw the Heels take care of business. And the
[Deacon]
Demons went back to
hell... or whatever they call it over in Winston-Salem.
This was power ball
from the beginning. Yes, I pick Haywood as player of the
game. But if I didn't mention Lang and Peppers, somebody
should kick my ass. This game left splinters somewhere,
cause
Carolina
brought the lumber.
Our 1-2-and-sometimes-3
guys were having problems hitting their shots. But the 4-5
guys just dominated the weaker team - Weak Forest. Haywood
finished with 24 points and 10 boards. I'd say not too
shabby for a guy who had been shut out recently. This just
goes to show you that
Carolina
can and will bring many
weapons... on any given night.
Julius
Peppers
is feeling it after the alley-oop slam from Ron Curry

While Lang was a force
from the beginning, Peppers brought some well needed spark and
strength later in the game. Early in Curry's bball days, I
thought he looked like a linebacker standing on the
hardwood. But his alley-oop pass to Julius Peppers had me
jumping up and down, and banging my fists off the ceiling.
the Ram Man gives a hat tip to the football guys on the hardwood.
Hey Ron, give up football or change to slot back. And give
hoops year round effort, so you might meet your potential.
And by the way, Peppers told us tonight that he's staying! Too bad
NFL, watch out FSU.
Did anyone else enjoy
looking at Odom's face late in the game? This was a man
who knew his team was "in a fire without a bucket of
water" [didn't want to
publish the F word]. Or we could just say it's Tobacco Road, and
Carolina still
rules! Generally speaking, good ole Dave is a decent
coach. After all his team had not been defeated until
tonight. But
then again, his team hadn't played
Carolina.
Can anyone say Matt Doherty?
I can... Matt
Doherty!! My first conversation with Matt was after the Ga. Tech
football game this year. While I was talking with Matt, I
said "thank God Roy said no!" Almost
immediately, Matt begin to say "Well, Coach
Williams...." But I cut Matt off, and said "You
will be our next legend at
Carolina."
Tonight is stuff that makes legends. Roy would have
choked. Oh yeah, Weak Forest already kicked that Jay Hawk
ass all over the court, 84-53. Hahaha... So, ya see
Matt? Told ya so! :)
So it goes... kick ass, take names...
Heels rule! Cause we
got Matt, and we are
Carolina!
