The Rivalry Rages

Those that were there Saturday or watched on TV N C State had a picture of the state of North Carolina painted at midfield and inscribed was This is our state which is the theme they are using this year in all sports. Yes in the Dean Dome Carolina has a picture of North Carolina outlined on the floor with a tar spot on the heel. Even ECU has an outline with their Pirate logo inscribed. Many of the players from Carolina went after the game and stomped on the logo. Yes Wolfpack fans are out raged at the audacity that Carolina would do that. To me this is what it is all about with sports. The best way to stop them from going anywhere near your logo is win the game. Not only do you have to listen to the guys next door or in the office rag you for the next year but they insulted us by jumping up and down on our logo. Isn't life wonderful. We are more worried about our logo than Obamacare's cost. This past Saturday my daughter amy got married and I did my blog Saturday from another computer and when I got home I discovered about half of my blog did not post which was several of the college picks on Saturday. Of the ones that did show up I was only 2-3 for the weekend which runs my college picks to 48-19. My only miss on the high school picks was the RM/SN game and I got seven right running my high school record to 70-12 on the season. I do believe that high school picks as long as you are doing the teams in you local area you should be able to get 90% right on the year. Colleges about 80% but one of the reason I don't do pro games on my blog is that I only get about 66% of those right just picking the winners and losers. When you toss in the point spread anybody is lucky to be 50%. Now, back to the wedding. Amy's wedding was in a church on Lead Mine Road in Raleigh and the reception was at the Matthews House in down town Cary. If you followed GPS it took you down Hillbourgh Street while the football game was going on Saturday. Since most of the football crowd stayed till the end we missed the traffic getting over to Cary. My only problem what in the world is my daughter doing getting married on the State-Carolina day in any sport. I thought I raised her better than that.
