Tar Heel ‘14

[MLB2NC @MLBRaleigh]

Charlotte and Raleigh have had their differences, but when it really mattered, they've always come together.

In the late 80's when the NBA was looking to expand, the Raleigh leadership was extremely vocal in their support of Charlotte to win the franchise that eventually became the Hornets.

Last week, @andrew_dunn's piece in the @CharlotteObser and the @newsobserver suggested that the Queen City is ready to return the favor with MLB.

Charlotte, Durham, every town and every city in this state, we've put in the work here in Raleigh for the past 8 years, building this bid with a dream of bringing home an MLB team.

We've gone from afterthought to potential front-runner.

Now, we need everyone in North Carolina to join us and do what they said couldn't be done...

Bring #MLB2NC together as one united state!

Jelly Roll was waving that bible around saying “Jesus is for everyone” then claimed “dumb redneck” when asked about the unarmed man who was pinned down and shot 9 times point blank range

I'm guessing one of those criteria is not beating NC State or Duke?

[Michael Lombardi @mlombardiuncgm]

In my book Football Done Right I strongly urged and established a criteria for head coaches to qualify for the HOF. This would remove politics from the vote and would avoid the complete injustice that occurred today. When I wrote the book I said the whole system was flawed today’s news confirms that belief.

This just goes to show you college football media was worried about the wrong college football coach’s girlfriend all year.

[Kyle Bandujo @kylebandujo]

Not to dive in too deep to a golf exhibition, but I think the repulsive crowd behavior speaks to a further issue in a contingent of this country believing patriotism is simply being cruel and repulsive to anyone deemed the opposition, vs simply being proud to be an American.

And… let the BBQ wars begin:

Anyone who says “pulled pork drenched in vinegar isn’t ‘good’ BBQ” cannot be a native North Carolinian. Those are blasphemous words. All natives know it.

Those few heretical natives who disagree have had their NC cards permanently revoked.

And as a card carrying native, I can tell you that non-native opinions are irrelevant.

But let me explain to you why this is an absolutely atrocious, and false, take.

NC pulled pork IS smoked to perfection and DOES fall off the bone. Assuming it doesn’t only proves that you are not well versed on the topic of BBQ.

You don’t NEED sauce for pulled pork. I’ve eaten it many times without sauce and it’s always amazing.

So why do we put sauce on it? This is the South. We like a little spice. We want a twang with a kick.

ENC does that better than anywhere else in the world.

Bless all the hearts who just don’t get it. Us native North Carolinians will pray for you. ❤️

We're fairly close to being able to very effectively treat cancer with mRNA, and this will be a huge setback

To be blunt: people you care about will die of cancer because of this decision

The fact that the UNC Chapel Hill trustees this week are simultaneously 1) talking about building a 25,000 seat cricket stadium and 2) planning to cut $70 million in spending, including playing professors to quit and slashing financial aid for low-income students, is….something.

The crime the committee allegedly committed was putting a Quad 1 team in the field over a pair of Quad 2 teams

3rd highest poverty rate, last in education, near the worst opioid death rates. You've got better things to spend your time on, so I'll help you out - Don't lose to a shitty Colorado team in the big 12 tournament and you're in, case closed!

West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrisey and Attorney General JB McCuskey take the podium to announce actions against the NCAA selection committee after the Mountaineers were left out of this year's field.

If your Christianity causes you to be offended by someone asking the most powerful person in the country to be merciful towards the powerless, then you have deeply, deeply misunderstood the teachings of Jesus Christ.

This Harris ad is fucking amazing.

[Ryan Clark @Realrclark25]

Former Pittsburgh Steelers are split on the Presidential election. One side has Mean Joe Greene, Jerome Bettis, and the family of Franco Harris supported her..

and the other has Leveon Bell & Antonio Brown.

Different class of folks for sure.

That Trump Univision Town Hall was something. I haven't seen that many disappointed Latinos since my wife introduced me to her family.
