I have never met Jones Angell but have heard him many times either as the host of the Tar Heel Sports Network or if you listen to any games of Carolina Baseball you have heard him many times there. I think from what I have heard from him and my reaction to his voice on the radio they have made a good pick and have kept it in the Tar Heel House so to speak.
Angell 32 has work with the Tar Heel Network for tens years so he is through and through Tar Heel Blue. Yes all you Tar Heel fans he will never replace Woody until the Tar heels pull a game out and it is his call that you will remember for ever.
It was that way when Wally Ausley left the Wolfpack because I still get chill bumps when a hear a replay of "The glass slipper fits, the Wolfpack are the National Champions. Gary Hahn will never be a Wally Ausley and Jones Angell will never be Woody. You know if Angell stays as the voice of the Tar Heels for forty years like Woody Durham did there will not be many people living then that will remember Woody. Forty years will be 2051.
Speaking of the Glass slipper. The player who made the dunk to win the NCAA basketball title for the Wolfpack in 1983 Lorenzo Charles was kill in a bus wreck in Raleigh on Monday. It is just a reminder how fleeting fame can be.
Heard Russell Wilson on the radio today talking about his decision to play his final year of football at University of Wisconsin. He said during the interview that he knew in order to become better at any thing whether it was baseball or football he had to dedicate time to one or the other. I think that is what Tom O'Brien has been telling him for two years.
O'Brien face with a quarterback in Mike Glennon who has been the faithful corporate worker for three years did all the practicing while Wilson played baseball the last two seasons. If O'Brien could not promise Glennon playing time this year after being the spring quarterback for the past three, Glennon was going to transfer to play football for two years some where next year .If that happen the WolfPack did not have a quarterback with any experience lined up in 2012 after Wilson departed in 2011. That was unacceptable to O'Brien and he has talked that way for the last two years.
You know this would never have happened if Wilson had of stuck with football until his career was over.
