Mark Monday, April 9 on your calendar: that’s when the UNC Senior Tour will visit Wheat Swamp at 7 p.m.
That’s right — Reyshawn Terry, Wes Miller and some walk-ons and former Tar Heels will take on a local team featuring Elijah Rouse, Dusty Davis and some media types, including me, Brian North, Richard Clark and other players.
There will be a slam-dunk exhibition during the night and the game will be followed by an autograph session that will last for an hour (note: only three items per person).
Tickets are $8 in advance and are available at Ken’s Grill on U.S. 70 or by getting them at NL from Wayne Barwick. Tickets at the door will be $10.
Should be a fun night; hope to see you out there.
Faithful blogger J. Taplie Coile — who is a Greenville lawyer and the official scorer for the Kinston Indians — played in the Lawyers vs. Doctors basketball game last night in Greenville.
Here is actual photographic proof:

From the Greenville Daily Reflector, that’s JTC on the far right. Dude — get a tan!
OK … if you had these lovelies cheering you on, wouldn’t you play better, too?


You asked for it, you got it: Use this entry to post scores from any sport. Please remember to include the score.
N.C. State coach Sidney Lowe’s son has 22 — yes, 22! — charges pending against him. Included in the list are six counts of robbery with a dangerous weapon, six counts of second-degree kidnapping and one count of assault inflicting serious bodily injury.

Good grief! Could this have happened because of that stupid red jacket his daddy wears?

Check out this little ditty at sportspickle.com … My favorite part is this:
“I plan to get another job soon,” said Amaker. “There are a lot of schools out there where repeatedly going to the NIT would be pretty good. And I am the master of the NIT. So the Colorado’s, Penn State’s, Miami’s, and Seton Hall’s of the world, give me a call. Okay, well not Seton Hall. They probably wouldn’t want me back.”
Freaking hilarious!
Hey, at least he’s not as bad an actor as Brett Fav-ruh.
Check out this clip at youtube.com; easily the funniest skit of the night.
OK…I think this comes as close to my twin as anyone out there…what do you guys think?


I was cruising through the channels this a.m. and came across a relatively new court show … but I didn’t know that former South Lenoir star and current insurance guru Jeff Howard was moonlighting as a TV judge!
