Spring Has Sprung

It is now official, Spring is here.  It is so because the Masters has been going on three days and the birds are chirping and the yellow pollen has my white car looking green.  Having been to Augusta last year and seeing what a mountainous course Augusta National really is  HD TV is the only way to watch this tournament.

State and Carolina have played two games this weekend in baseball with the Tar Heels winning 2-1 and 3-2.  Quite frankly I don't believe you could take the best players off each  team and really be that good.   Neither team can hit the ball.  Don't believe either is headed to Omaha this year.

College football teams put the wraps on spring football Saturday.  Duke has just won the college basketball national championship  and with Carolina baseball not being as good as the past this thought has run through my mind.

Football was so so last season, many Carolina basketball fans want to run Roy out of town and baseball is average at best.  All of this talk about building a new basketball arena or remodeling the Dean Dome I read in the News and Observer where Bubba Cunningham  says that all talk of a basketball arena is on the back burner right now.

We are now pushing four years all this academic fraud mess has been going on in Chapel Hill.  Many Tar Heel fans are disgusted with the way things are going right now.  Might remember the new end zone seats in Kenan had some bait and switch  antics during their sale.  The Carolina  faithful who were part of the 28 million cash paid to build the Dean Dome are in no mood to now fork over 50 million to renovate the Dome.

So the money people are not as willing to donate when a cloud hangs over athletics while the NCAA looms and now after Syracuse Heel fans are really nervous.  On top of all that have athletes as well said no to the Tar Heels?  All of you Carolina fans keep telling me Roy is not getting the big name players any more.  Is it Roy or is it the Carolina  reputation has been damaged not only with the people who support the Heels or even prospective athletes shying away from Chapel Hill because of storm clouds  which need to dissipate soon.

If you love the Heels you had better hope the NCAA rules as soon as possible and get rid of the storm cloud hanging around so the University can get back to being the University of the people because it is not now.
