To all those bashing Tarheels fans for rushing the court, a couple years ago Dook hit a game-winning shot against a Virginia Tech team that was 4-12, FOUR AND TWELVE, in the ACC that year and they rushed the court. So why don't you think about what you say before you open your fat mouths. Dookie fans are such sore losers :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3538159334790759434.post-72244371933325087092011-03-09T18:30:13.988-05:002011-03-09T18:30:13.988-05:00Look: John Henson Def.

However, that accomplishment does not justify making him a 1st team All-ACC selection this year. And, though I personally don't consider him to be overrated, if you think objectively with your mind rather than subjectively with your heart, you have to admit Kyle's overall performance during the latter half of this season has been less than deserving of a 1st team selection - especially when there are others whose total body of work has been solid from the beginning to the end of the season. And you ask "What the hell have any of these TarHeels (Tar Heels is 2 words BTW) done besides winning a home conference game Saturday night"...the answer is they won the ACC regular season title. Lastly, I would hardly call Carolina fans "rookie", as they, like those of Duke, are among the most knowledgeable, seasoned and passionate fans around. Why so many have taken such exception with the students storming the court is beyond me. Given the excitement of the moment and the exuberance of youth, I consider their actions wholly justified and wish I could have been there to join them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3538159334790759434.post-22661270422465943182011-03-08T00:27:58.853-05:002011-03-08T00:27:58.853-05:00HAHAHA.Listen to the tarholes cry,Wah,Wah.Who have...HAHAHA.Listen to the tarholes cry,Wah,Wah.Who have they played?

He plays hard every game and is a gentleman athlete. To see Singlar there is a joke. He is the most overrated played in the ACC. For you people that are always saying bad things about the Heels, I believe they finished 14-2 to cature the title. Funny what a decent point guard can do to a team. Good luck in the NCAA's to all ACC teams. Looks like we will have 6 in there. I always pull for the ACC and they do have the last two national championship teams.

If Roy gets COY, he can also thank Drew because if Drew didn't quit, Roy would still be playing him 20 minutes and Carolina would have finished 4th or worse.Cliffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14808700104685179156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3538159334790759434.post-55165416528916220482011-03-07T20:14:55.637-05:002011-03-07T20:14:55.637-05:00Singler in ACC conference games:

The Heels are being punished for the media's early errors in judgment. I am actually more put off by Kendall Marshall not being a unanimous pick on the Rookie team than I am about no Heels on the first team. I agree there is no difference between Barnes early struggles and Singlar's recent short-comings. I think even more should be expected from the senior to qualify for first team than the freshman. I hope the Heels use this as motivation, though as a fan, I find it insulting. As for COY, Roy Williams should be the unanimous choice in my book. He's lost four players permanently has one injured and has no first team all ACC players. Winning the regular season under those circumstances - not that I agree with the all ACC teams of course - make this a no brainer, not that I expect the guys who made these decisions to make the right one about COY.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3538159334790759434.post-80687248937304324372011-03-07T18:20:48.302-05:002011-03-07T18:20:48.302-05:00Hopefully Roy will use this as a tool to get the g...Hopefully Roy will use this as a tool to get the guys to remian focused in Greensboro this weekend.
