Week One: Like Little Big Horn Times Ten

Week One: Like Little Big Horn Times Ten

...... Sept 03, ’12:   Week One was more offensive than an Andrew Dice Clay concert. More massacres than at Little Big Horn and Wounded Knee combined. Scoreboard operators were being treated for carpal tunnel syndrome all across BCS Nation. By midnight Saturday, a dozen Defensive Coordinators had committed hari-kari. Six more were thrown under team buses...... and Art & I somehow survived Show One.

I like Touchdowns.... Home Runs..... 3-pt goals..... and Holes-In-One.   I enjoy scoring. Pitching duels and 3 & outs bore me. So I enjoyed the heck outta Week One of Color & Pageantry 2012.   I think most folks enjoy “offense” otherwise why would so many folks be so offensive?

The mythical Phoenix could never be killed. If the Elon “Phoenix” FB team got out of bed Sunday morning then that must be true.

If Elon was still The Fighting Christians – Saturday in Kenan woulda been akin to the Roman Coliseum under the Nero Administration.

If Elon was still the Christians - Saturday in Kenan was more unfriendly to them than a Democratic Convention.

If Elon was still...... OK, you get the picture.

Should joy-starved UNCers start touting “if we COULD go bowling this year, we bet it would be better than Shreveport”? Let’s hold off on such bombast for a few weeks.

Should the dormant Anti-TO’B faction over on The Brickyard start sharpening their pitchforks and lighting their torches? That too might be somewhat premature. Although if they took their marching orders from my WCHL broadcast partner – Br’er Chansky – TO’B would be DOA PDQ.

Artie did “a Dan Kane” on State Football Saturday morning. He started pounding and just wouldn’t stop.   Stutts and I had to hit the boy with a tranquilizer dart. There IS a reason Art's picture is not on Amedeo’s Wall of Heroes. Our respective strong opinions drew expected strong reactions. No Bob Kennel; I will NOT give you Art's home address.

Our full show audio is available right here. Read the rest of this column then come back and spend an hour listening to The Good Guys.

We are now in the era of pinball football - scoreboards spinning outta control. If three minute go by without a TD, fans are flipping channels to The Real Housewives Of Cajun Pawn Stars.

Week One is usually a lot of BCS Bullies vs Little Sisters of The Poor mismatches and this was no exception.

Q: Whats the difference between a Nigerian mother selling her baby to Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt or Arkansas State going to Eugene Oregon for a $1,000,000 check?

A: The Nigerian mother still has her pride.

Duke, Wake and ECU are still in the hunt for the Natty Championship.
As are Alabama, Clemson, Tennessee and SoCal.

Saturday in Kenan was BRUTAL. I was hosting the Lettermen’s Lounge which is on the South Concourse and air-conditioned. I made an executive decision to let any/all PDEWs (Pretty DownEast Wimmen) in to escape the heat. I thought $50 for ten-minutes plus a cuppa ice was quite fair. For those without the $50, their offers of barter got almost embarrassing. There were these three really sweaty Tri Delts who...... nevermind.

Fans who endured the sweltering conditions beyond the first half deserve a LOT more appreciation from UNC than Dickie Baddour got to “just go away”. Yeah, that still sticks in my craw.

Week Two will see a culling of the undefeated herd, which by month’s end will likely be down to single digits. Alabama vs Southern Cal is the easy pick for this year’s Greatest Game Of The Century.

BobLee, what did you think of the NCAA saying “who cares” about Julius’ various shenanigans while dropping the hammer on other schools for providing a bus ticket for a kid to go to his grandmamma funeral? ....... No one enjoys seeing ABCers heads explode more than I do but REALLY this NCAA no-interest caught me by surprise.

Each week I will be doing a special column on chapelboro.com re: some aspect of Carolina Football. It is a special section called Huddle With The Heels. If you go there expecting to read about Roman Gabriel, Ted Brown or Philip Rivers, you will be disappointed. Here’s that link

AgentPierce is likely going to get kinda froggy over OccupyCharlotte this week.

	Irreverence and sarcasm are two of the four food groups. Slate on the topic: http://ow.ly/duaxf in case you haven't seen. Sorry I missed the first show, will definitely try to catch the second. Any way you could do like first 1/2 of the show all BL, then second 1/2 Art? It would be nice to have a clear point delineating when I should change the channel... ________ BL: AC is somewhat misunderstood. Using the enemy of my enemy is my friend, you Wuffs should embrace Art. The Butcher Cult despises Art (and me too of course). How can anyone play with board monkeys without heavy irreverance and sarcasm ?? .

	Show 1 wasn't quite what I was expecting. I was expecting more irreverence and more incisive commentary. I'll give it one more shot in the hopes that next week's show will be better. ________ BL: YES!!! More irreverance & more commentary !!... would you believe some have complained we were TOO irreverant & they want 100% X & O blah, blah, blah. Apparently irreverance w/ UNC Sports is a sacrilege. Not to ME! :-) .

	You should rename your show "BobLee and the Board Monkey." _________ BL: Ouch! It is a Chapel Hill-based show. .

	Attention is good unless you notice someone collecting money to buy a length of rope. _________ BL: Hard to imagine that board monkeys would not love Art & me. We have both been such strong supporters of mob rule of college athletics. :-) .

	Listened to the pre-game show. Nice job. Chansky's take on the UT game did not get a mention on PackPride that I saw. I found it difficult to reconcile his belief that there should be a thorough investigation and his problem with the media reporting on it. But I am sure you do want to spend a lot of time explaining Art Chansky's views on here:-) or anywhere I expect. It was an interesting and entertaining show. ___________ BL: It attracted a great deal of attention. .

	BL. good column as usual. As an old catcher, however, I liked to catch one-hitters, and 11-10 games were tiring. Even enjoyed your generic "Tar Heel Football Fan" article. You can have the wine, and I'll take the cheese. As for Chansky, I haven't listened yet, but don't really need to. I've listened to a few Wolfpack whiners on TOB. My simple comment is that O'Brien may not be Mister Loveable, but he is Mister Dependable, and you can ask Chansky to consider either the facts of the "great unpleasantness" or the "frat-ag" head-to-head results since O'Brien came ashore five years ago. Tell Chansky to stick to basketball, and even there he needs to be paying attention. _______ BL: BK, you know as well as anyone, if expressing ones opinion was a crime, we would all be making license plates in D Block. No denying the validity of 5-0 at all. .

	I’m a CHHS and UNC grad and have never set foot in Tennessee but three times, but you left the best fight song off your list, Rocky Top. Every time I hear it I immediately get thirsty. Ric _________ BL: The list was not intended to be all inclusive, just examples. Rocky Top is certainly a good one. .

	Would you say Art is passionate? Judy listened with me. She loved it, thinking that you were somewhat speechless for a second when he lobbed the grenade at the Marine. Surprised that I took it so calmly, knowing my love for Marines, Jesuits (the good ones), and Cincinnati Catholic Leaguers. I like passion and loved to play against passionate guys. Doubt that Cowdog is pleased with AC. Bama and Trojans looked tough. That is stating the obvious. Matt Barkley is a wonderful young man with a great love for Jesus the Christ. I can't stand LK but love Matt. These are a marvelous group of Trojans. First group I have liked in a long time. Fight On! ________ BL: I'm sure Art was not thinking of Iwo Jima when he expressed disdain for WuffWorld. Just 50 years of accumulated contempt. :-) .... Its Bama & SoCal until a third arises. .

	This weekend was the BEST of TIMES and the WORST of TIMES......Red and White or Blue and White....it all depends on your apettite. YES, it was NOT a good weekend for TOB and the boys in RED. It probably was a LOT worse for the team AFTER the game than during it. Amedeo's was NOT crowded on Saturday night, but the gal at the Suicide Line said that there had only been a few calls and mostly about the "UNC said WHAT and the NCAA said WHAT" events. SO, I guess that time will tell and the sun did rise on both Saturday and Sunday. It was NOT a big crowd on Western Boulevard, but most were wearing their Red and White. OK, you may have to switch the large ECONOMY size Elephant Tranquilizer (but, it unfortunately is launched by a charge equal to a 7mm Mag load) dart. If the dope don't get him, then the velocity will... BTW, Art is easily chased down with less than three clicks. I never got the crash course on the Wiley Lady, but I found all about her and her high school and awards....I do NOT profess to be an NCSU geek....when I took Programming at Riddick, we had to key punch all our own cards and then edit the offending card that shut down the computer somewhere in the bowels of the RTP. You gotta wonder about letting a bunch of students have access to computers back then....especially since they had a Nuclear Reactor on site.... Have Fun in CH....I understand that WJC would be happy to assist your hosting duties and the price might just be RIGHT! ________ BL: I think Jennifer Wiley was actually "the lady in red" that fingered Dellinger as they exited the Chicago theater.... or maybe Bigfoot's daughter? A Wuff L in either of the next three weeks could have negatory effects but no reason to expect Ls. .

	BL, Art Chansky is pure evil. I hope you wore a HazMat suit if you had to be close to that &%*($. _______ BL: YeeHaaaa! You had to "be there". Everything was going along pretty calmly; then he lit his own fuse and KABOOM! It WAS a 3-alarm rant! :-). Southern Season had to clear the store until the smoke cleared. It was a Hoot! Strong opinions elicit strong reactions. .

	"..... more unfriendly than a Democratic Convention". Going to be hard to EVER top that one BL. And where do I get a new keyboard? _______ BL: Maybe I have reset the bar too high now. I got kinda carried away. Been hanging around AgentPierce too much! .
