Traitorous Cowards Explain Why They Left UNC

From WRAL

Three former North Carolina Tar Heels-turned-enemies are coming out and talking about some of the more specific reasons they left Chapel Hill.

The twins, David and Travis Wear bolted shortly after the 2009-10 season concluded. Then Larry Drew's far more surprising (and from Tar Heel fans far more unforgivable) exit came in the middle of the ACC season in February, after the second semester had already begun.

Now the trio of UCLA Bruins can sit around and recount their miserable times in Chapel Hill together. All three told the LA Times that the decision to leave wasn't much about lack of playing time. It was more about fan support, a disconnect with the coaching staff and the "Carolina experience" falling short of expectations:

"The energy just wasn't there as in the years prior, it seemed like," said Travis Wear, a 6-foot-10 forward who averaged 3.5 points in 10.1 minutes a game. "It just wasn't that fun of a year."

David Wear described being in Chapel Hill as a culture shock, saying they both missed the friends and family that supported them all along, and that they couldn't count on the fans for that support. Larry Drew shared those thoughts:

"When you're winning, everything's good. When you're losing, it's opposite. Going to a school like that, I was aware of the potential for how things could be. I wasn't aware to the extent."

And some more bits of information that I'm sure will make you love Larry Drew even more....his recent birthday party rap, which was laced with N-words, F-words and blatant shots at Carolina and Roy Williams was justified by Drew as "venting". He said, "I didn't mean it as a diss or anything like that, it was just something I had to get off my chest."

The other surprising thing was this comment from Larry Drew Sr., Drew's father and an NBA head coach with the Hawks, who apparently felt like he and his son were owed something by the Carolina staff when Kendall Marshall was infused into the starting lineup:

"Nothing was said to Larry, nothing was said to me," Drew Sr. said. "That was a little hard to swallow."

Wow. First of all Roy Williams stands by that the move was discussed openly in front of the team before it happened. Second, I didn't know Larry Drew Sr. had to be consulted about roster moves on the Carolina basketball team.

Former big man Deon Thompson even told the Times that Drew and Roy Williams "bumped heads" at times. "He was just a laid-back kid, so it was hard for Coach Williams to light that fire in him at times."
Is the Drew family going for the title of America's least favorite sports family or something?
These three being 3,000 miles away is probably best for Carolina basketball.

RIP "Macho Man" Randy Savage


1952-2011

I will remember him fondly for his maniacal gusto in the ring, and also for his love of the Slim Jim.

I'd bet he's snapping into one with Jesus as we speak.

Ramble on, brother.

Embarrassed by your reading ability?

Worry not, dear friends!
Tyler Hansbrough has teamed up with the Indiana Public Library System to show kids that it's ok to not be able to read good!

To hear Tyler's stunning rendition of Chicken Little, just call (317) 275-4444 (or go here for a tidbit from everyone). But ACT FAST! Who knows when the next stellar reader from the Indiana Pacers will take over the mic!



Also, did you know that we're going to be playing basketball in the ocean for our first game? It's like when Nadal and Federer played tennis in the water except gigantic-er and not as legit.
