When did you know Carolina would be a part of you forever? "Chapel Hill never leaves you, and you never leave Chapel Hill." — Roy Williams '72 ('73 MAT), to the class of 2026
Donald Trump thought he could score cheap political points by calling Bill LeRoy an “insult to Jesus” because the veteran catcher and captain of the Savannah Bananas is “beyond woke” and believes that God does not discriminate on the basis of gender.
Standing in front of a roaring, sold-out Banana Ball crowd, LeRoy didn’t just clap back — he delivered a powerful, no-nonsense response that shook the stadium.
“The president of the United States just said that I insulted Jesus,” LeRoy began, gripping the mic with calm intensity. “You want to know what’s a real insult to Jesus? Turning your back on people who need help while giving more to those who already have everything.”
“You know what insults Jesus?” he continued, gesturing toward the crowd. “Separating families, shutting doors on those in need, and forgetting what ‘love thy neighbor’ actually means. That’s not the message I stand for — and it’s not the message this team stands for.”
“You know what insults Jesus? Preaching values while ignoring compassion. Talking about faith while practicing division. That’s not faith — that’s politics dressed up as religion.”
“I’m not a perfect Christian,” he said, a small smile crossing his face. “There’s only been one perfect man, and I’m not him. I’m just a catcher who believes in treating people right.”
“Jesus told us to love our neighbors as ourselves… So why do we keep choosing hate, division, and fear instead?”
Saw someone tweet that UNC fans are “lying” if we say we don’t want Hurley.
Once again, I say WE DO NOT WANT A HURLEY. (Don’t think he would come or that he’s even on the list.)
Do you want a Hurley?
Like for “No.”
Retweet/repost for “Hell No”.
Kentucky hasn’t sniffed a Final Four in a decade. Duke hasn’t won a F4 game in 11 years. Carolina won a natty and played for 3 in that span. Kansas’ only natty since 08 is thanks to a bouncy court. And Carolina beat all three of them this year. But we knew Jason was dumb.
And Mike Tirico gave the sign off of a century 🫡
Can’t wait to see a kid 15 years from now talking about how they remember hearing this and how stoked they are to be competing at the Olympics 🙏🏼
