| When Carolina lost to the dreaded Hucksters in '84 I was watching it on
tape delay in the wee hours of the morning with my girlfriend. When
defeat reared its ugly head I took the cable changer and threw it at
full velocity at a nearby chair. Unfortunately, like a Roger Clemens
fast ball, the sucker took off on me and smashed into the wall above
said chair, smashing into a billion or so pieces.
Amazingly, this girlfriend still ended up marrying me and even bore
me a child (with another on the way). (Now she wisely stays clear and
removes all breakables from the room when da Heels are on...)

>When Carolina lost to teh dreaded Hucksters in '84...
What courage is musta took for somebody humiliated like you were to
publicly confess to how mortifiying this abject failure was to you.
I applaud you forthrightness, it's healthy to get these things out!
Also, I applaud what a loser that self-aggrandizing overrated bum of
a tent preacher 'Snuffy Smif' is! Bravo!
And for you to admit that you were able to attract a wife based on your
deep admiration for such qualities only further enhances my already
deep understanding of the program.
When *I* watched that '84 game, I had two reactions:
1. Revelation of genius. Yes, it was like the time I read a chapter in
a physics book that finally gave me at least an approximate mental
picture of Einstein's theory of relativity and how it worked. When I
watched the slow-footed Dan Dakich take Air Jordan to school, I and
my fellow Hoosier alums (crowded around a TV set in a bar in the East
Village in NYC) kept gasping and remarking on the piercing beams of
light that seemed to thrust from Bob's clear blue eyes courtside.
We watched genius in action, no doubt the greatest single coaching
achievement in the history of sport Even more pleasurable, we
witnessed the total rape, descrediting, and humilation of a Jerry
Falwell-lookalike TV darling, and saw his confused brow knitted up
with concern and fake calmness and his veins filled with shame (and
his players' with utter disrespect and contempt).
2. Frivolty and Laughter
Yes, it was like robbing a bank and then throwing a laughing gas
party in the getaway van. What could be funnier than the confusion
on poor Smif's less-than-intelligent face? Haw haw. Anything in
the world than the tears in poor Michael Jordan's eyes that night,
his trembling lip screaming "I'm toiling for a_idiot!" Oh, then
some wiseacre pulled out his johnson and waved it at the TV and
screamed "name *this* after Dean Smith, idolators!"
Good clean fun we had that night I'll tellya. And at the expense of a
more deserving bunch a losers than ever thought possible. But, then we
quit guffawing and cracking greenteef hillbilly jokes when Bob came on
for the postgame, and all knelt around the TV, bowed our haids, and
prayed homage to His Genius.
Congrat's on your abject confession, ACCrook!
Steel, "best team ever in college basketball." Haaaa.
Best coach is more like it.

346.9 | And, of course, there was another game on Saturday | SHALOT::HUNT | Wyld Stallyns Rules | Thu Sep 06 1990 17:29 | 18 |
| Oh, yes, that was a most divine and inspired victory that night, T.
Bob Knight reached for the heavens and found glory. He was truly the
best coach in the land on that night.
Of course, he did come slightly back down to earth two days later at
the hands of yet another ACC team. This time The General had another
genius facing him down. No such looks of puzzled bewilderment on Mr.
Holland's brilliant countenance.
*That* NCAA victory, 50-48 over the Hoosiers, was far, far more
satisfying than any of the Ralph Sampson-led wins. It cemented Terry
Holland's name in the Pantheonic legends of NCAA history.
Poor Jim Boeheim was hopelessly overmatched in the brains department
during that regional, wouldn't you say ???

And are you talking about that great saviour RRRRRalphhh Sampson?
I believe those two choked more titles away than Bob Knight and
Dean Smith combined!!!

346.12 | I can hear fine. Can you? (Let's be fair ...) | RHETT::KNORR | Carolina Blue | Thu Sep 06 1990 18:17 | 12 |
| While we're jogging all our collective memories, could I throw in the
fact that Kenny Smith was playing that game against the Hucksters in
'84 with a frockin' *cast* on his wrist?! Once Kenny went down we were
never the same team, which isn't surprising considering he was our
point guard, and a pretty darn good one at that.
Bob, you can imply that all those Virginia losses weren't chokes
because of various circumstances, but can you in the same breath call
the Carolina loss in '84 a choke given our own extenuating situation?!

| I guess Kindler and Gentler just took a walk ;-)
Dean will have four more chances to choke. He's now recruited one of the
best groups to high school All Americans this side of the Wooden years at
UCLA. We shall see how well they do.

Fine and dandy then. And as you say, it's all in the books anyway.
Carolina is still the premier college basketball program in the country,
Dean Smith is still in the HoF, and I'm still looking forward to watching
some of the most talented hoop players on the planet log lots of PT
while wearing good ole baby blue and leading us to a whole heapful of
W's.

The real MrT has returned, or perhaps it's just another of the "Three Faces

Ha ha HAAA !!
*God* what a SICK twisted perverted diseased statement this is!
The Star Heels have managed to win a grand total of one Titles over
the past 30 or so years... but, hey!, let's not belittle all those
excellent losses. I for one am elated at 'Snuff's excellent recruiting
year, cuz when he has the awesome talent he does what his special thing
at its best [squander].
Imagine, Jordan/Perkins/Daugherty on a single team, they get beat by
a bunch of clubfooted-but-well-drilled honkie grad students, and ACCaught
comes 'round moaning about poor Kenny's cast.
Extra special question: Did the idolator crowd down there decide to
name the Dome after His Losership immediately after this wretched but
stunning example of poor leadership in '84? [probly]

346.21 | the facts: not fans | HBAHBA::HAAS | same as talking to you | Fri Sep 07 1990 16:08 | 23 |
| Let's put the Dean Dome in it's place:
The Dean Dome was built by private funds doled out willingly by the
zealous fans, alumni and other admirers of Tar Heel basketball. During
the fund raising, it was suggested that it be named after Deano Hisself.
At this point, the $100 million or so poured in faster than you can say
Baby Blue Artist Choke (tm).
Dean said he didn't like the name but did nothing to dissuade it, either.
The name stuck and bingo, a_idolatrous temple was born. And everyone is
happy: the faithful love it and the others love to bring it up.
FWIW, Dean didn't want to move out of Carmichael Hall. And the group that
got really screwed on the move were the students. They had great seats
and now they got not-so-great.
But let's make one point perfectly clear: Tar Heel basketball fans are
not sports fans. When the hoops season is over, they drop out. When the
Heels lose in the tournament, they go home. If anybody wants good seats
to an ACC game, wait outside after a Tar Heel loss and you can pick up
the Tar Heel tickets as they head home.

lot of teams.
I was happy when the Heels moved out of it.

Sure it was. That's an inimitable T-ism. And it's probably pretty
close to da troof too...8^)
In fack, it reminds me of that song by Elton JOhn -- "Get Back Honky Grad

346.25 | Unfortunately Dean has spoiled most of 'em rotten. :^( | RHETT::KNORR | Carolina Blue | Fri Sep 07 1990 18:55 | 21 |
| Without question Carmichael gave us a huge homecourt edge, compared to
the minimal advantage served at the DD. Still, our winning % at home
since moving in is upwards of 90%.
On the issue of the students getting screwed, I can't totally agree.
While their seats aren't the greatest now, you can sure fit a heckuva
lot more of 'em in.
And by the way, I don't disagree with TTom about the quality of Tar
Heel fans. (Obviously I don't put myself in this category. :^) )
The fat cat alum's sit on their MrT-sized butts (seats are cushioned
for 'em, of course) and applaud politely when Carolina walks off with
another win. Meanwhile the real fans are going crazy up in the cheap
seats or screaming like madmen whilst sitting in front of the tube at
home, even occasionally demolishing perfectly good electronic equipment
over the occasional loss.
Go figure.
