Coach Davis is always all class. Nothing but the best to Coach always!

Hubert Davis is in Las Vegas to see eight of his former players play in the NBA Summer League. In one of his first public comments since #UNC fired him, he talks in an ESPN interview about why it’s important to be there and what impresses him about Caleb Wilson. Link in replies.

America turns 250 today.

Let me read back the resume.

We started by telling a king to pound sand, in writing.

By 1803 we bought half a continent from France for about four cents an acre.

We fought a war with ourselves and somehow stayed one country.

We strung a railroad across the entire thing.

We handed the world the lightbulb, the telephone, and the airplane in about thirty years flat.

Then a man named Willis Carrier invented air conditioning and made half the planet actually livable.

You are welcome, Texas. You are welcome, Dubai.

Twice the whole world caught fire, and twice we showed up and helped put it out.

We split the atom.

We put men on the moon in 1969.

Then we went back and hit golf balls up there, because why not.

We invented jazz, blues, rock and roll, and hip-hop, and the whole planet is still dancing to it.

We put a burger and fries on every corner of the earth.

We built rockets that fly themselves home and land standing straight up.

We flew a helicopter on Mars.

We launched a car into actual space and it is still out there cruising.

We also invented ranch dressing and somehow talked the entire world into putting it on pizza.

Priorities.

We even invented three of our own sports so we could win them.

Baseball, basketball, and football.

Real football, the kind with hands, because we named it and we are not taking corrections.

The rest of the planet can keep soccer, which is fine, we are hosting it in our backyard this summer anyway.

And yes, Canadian football exists, wider field, extra man, one fewer down, and we try very hard not to think about it.

Frankly it was generous of us to invent our own games.

If we put all that energy into soccer, nobody else would ever lift that trophy again.

We would win it so often they would just rename it the America’s Cup and hand us the keys.

You are welcome for the suspense.

And in 2026 we threw a birthday so big a German tourist live-tweeted our gas stations to 750,000 people.

Not every chapter was clean.

We argued, we stumbled, we fixed what we broke, and we kept building.

That is the whole trick.

Two hundred and fifty years in, and we are still the loudest, brightest, most improbable experiment on the map.

Not bad for a country that started as a strongly worded letter to a king.

Happy birthday, America.

You know it's hot outside when you go outside and it's hot.

These temperature maps for next week are absolutely brutal. With forecast highs in the 100° to 108° range from Wednesday through the 4th of July, we are looking at a highly dangerous heat event next week. Please Stay Weather Aware!

Preparing for the next week and the 4th of July Weekend:

Hydrate Continuously

Drink plenty of water throughout the day, even before you feel thirsty. Avoid sugary, caffeinated, or alcoholic beverages, as these can severely accelerate dehydration.
Eat light, easy-to-digest meals like fruits and salads, which help keep your internal temperature down.

Time Your Outdoor Activities

Reschedule strenuous outdoor work, exercise, or yard work to the early morning hours or late evening after the sun goes down. If you absolutely must be outside, take frequent shade breaks, use the "buddy system," and wear lightweight, loose-fitting, light-colored clothing.

Protect the Most Vulnerable

Look Before You Lock: Never leave children, elderly individuals, or pets unattended in a parked vehicle, even for a minute. Temperatures inside a car can reach lethal levels in just 10 minutes. Make it a daily habit to check on elderly neighbors, friends, or family members who live alone or may not have reliable air conditioning.

Keep Your Pets Safe

Limit dog walks to the early morning to avoid burning their paws on scorching asphalt. Ensure all outdoor pets have constant access to fresh, cool water and deep shade throughout the day.

Optimize Your Home Cooling

Keep blinds and curtains closed during peak heating hours to block solar radiation. Change the indoor filters for the HVAC system and make sure the outdoor units are clean and free of debris. Note: Relying solely on portable electric fans when the indoor room temperature exceeds 90° can actually dehydrate you faster. Air conditioning is the safest and most effective way to cool down during an extreme heat wave. #cltwx #ncwx #scwx #wcnc #HeatWave

A message to Carolina faithful 🙌

[Bryan Ives @awaytoworthy]

Folks like to point out that North Carolina went 20 years between top-5 NBA Draft picks.

During that “drought”, the Tar Heels won 2 national titles and reached 5 Final Fours.

As temperatures warm up, please remember to drink lots of water and stay indoors between 10:30 a.m. and November 1.

If you are planning on doing crime, please do it outside our jurisdiction.
