Amanda couldn’t “do it” anymore = West told her he was going to try to makeup with Ciara and “Mandy” knew she couldn’t witness that and still keep their cover. Ain’t got s%*# to do with her husband except maybe he was questioning her and West already. #SummerHouse

@UNC_TarHeelFan I hope that’s the case and it’s not how he was treated, but nothing would surprise me where these people are concerned. I’m absolutely disgusted with a program and people I once admired. 💔

[Heather Holt @HHsquared85]

Almost like this happened before with another major team within the program…what a pattern. What a reputation for UNC athletic admin!

[Will Palaszczuk @WilliePStyle]

Leaving him hanging for five days under a shroud of uncertainty, reports of asking him to resign, bowing to public pressure, and ultimately firing him, not giving him a statement in the school release...

Yeah, they did Hubert dirty.

[Heather Holt @HHsquared85]

@hurricanesmill @CountessesofUNC That’s a fair point. I just feel like at this point they know what they’re doing, so the delay is purposeful and I don’t want anything to take the spotlight from what the women’s team is accomplishing. The whole admin is imploding anyway

So deserving of the recognition tonight and honestly it still wasn’t enough for all these two did for UNC and CH and our football family. Their kindness and impact continues to reach more than anyone will ever know. Thank you, Coach and Ms. Sally!

[Courtney Banghart @CoachBanghart]

Love you so much Mack and Sally. So glad to have you back home 🩵
Friendships that run far beyond the color @CoachMackBrown

“when things were kind of at their low point…one person after another after another cited the same culprit, Mike Lombardi. And so what I would say is as long as he’s still the one building the team, I don’t think they’re going to be better.”

I have not 1, but 2 Tar Heel Ten Miler medals on my bookshelf of beloved memories from my time in Chapel Hill, yet I never ran a yard in that race. Why do I have them? James Spurling gave them both to me because he thought they were pretty and I needed them. 😂 🤍 you Mr. James

UNC mourns ‘selfless’ James Spurling, who impacted Tar Heel football for decades https://t.co/XwyuoCEl9g

[Heather Holt @HHsquared85]

❤️‍🩹 a father figure to so many of us. I sure will miss him yelling my name down the hall and jingling keys when he stopped in to help me with something or to make sure “his” @NCSHP family was taken care of before games!

[Lee Pace @LeePaceTweet]

Since writing about James Spurling (pictured in 2021 when the west concourse at Kenan Stadium was named in his honor) and his death one week ago, loads of stories I’d never heard have rolled in, one of the best from Tar Heel football player Mike Faulkerson-Dulaney from the early 1990s. Mike had a pet Columbia red-tailed boa constrictor who got loose in the dashboard of his truck. He drove to Spurling’s Eastgate BP and Spurling took the front dashboard off so Mike could retrieve the snake.

And this from UNC Chancellor Holden Thorp (2008-13) hits the nail on the head: “There are a lot of caring, kind, and capable people who work in Carolina athletics. But none will ever top James Spurling. When things were good, he was wildly enthusiastic, and when they were bad, he put his hand on my shoulder and said everything would work out. He believed it. And he did that for everyone.”

Grateful for it all! ❤️🏈

As a teacher AND someone who had the opportunity to work in Blue Heaven for a bit, I can honestly say that Drake is the real deal: talented, sure, but humble, kind, generous, and genuinely a good human. It’s MAYE DAY!!! Can’t wait to see you play tonight @DrakeMaye2 ❤️🤍🩵

[Heather Holt @HHsquared85]

A moment of celebration for an extraordinary life 🩵 this W is for you, Mr. James!

Love you always, miss you forever, our priceless gem 🤍

[Heather Holt @HHsquared85]

💔my heart is broken into a thousand pieces. Mr. James Spurling was a living legend and I am so thankful I was able to work with him in our happy place for a short while. I love you, Mr. James. Save a seat on the cart for me up there🤍

[Heather Holt @HHsquared85]

Hey @MoGreenNCDPI - can we get some weather waivers for school districts to use more than 5 remote instruction days since NC just had a historic snowfall? Please? Without having to jump through all the hoops and obstacles? TY in advance 🤍, NC teachers everywhere

[Heather Holt @HHsquared85]

Tell me again how this man is *not* a Trojan horse sent from the depths of hell that is Durham to completely ruin all things that make Carolina great? 💔

BREAKING: The Carolina North project will officially start its first phase of development this spring and is set to break ground in summer 2027, Chancellor Lee Roberts announced at the Board of Trustees University Affairs Committee meeting on Wednesday. https://t.co/IOXkB7fbbI

100% this.

[Kennedy Meeks @Asapmeeks03]

You think someone at Duke would have the audacity to say let’s tear down Cameron indoor and build a new gym in downtown Durham? You hear how crazy that sounds?

THIS IS A DIME 😳🪙
