Rivalry Week Part I

The UNC Tar Heels take on the dookies tonight at Cameron Indoor H.S. Gymnasium.  It looks to be a good game, as dook always plays up against UNC and at home.  The Tar Heels are coming off a lackluster loss to NC State, and from the look on Ol' Roy's face after the game, I suspect we'll see a different team tonight.

In honor of my Boys, our alma mater:

Hark the sound of Tar Heel voices
Ringing clear and True
Singing Carolina's praises
Shouting N.C.U.

Hail to the brightest Star of all

Clear its radiance shine
Carolina priceless gem,
Receive all praises thine.

I'm a Tar Heel born, I'm a Tar Heel bred
And when I die I'm a Tar Heel dead.
So it's RAH, RAH, Car'lina 'lina
RAH, RAH, Car'lina 'lina
RAH, RAH, Car'lina
RAH! RAH! RAH! (Go to Hell State!)

I'm a Tar Heel born, I'm a Tar Heel bred
And when I die I'm a Tar Heel dead.
So it's RAH, RAH, Car'lina 'lina
RAH, RAH, Car'lina 'lina
RAH, RAH, Car'lina
RAH! RAH! RAH! (Go to Hell dook!)

'Neath the oaks the sons true hearted
Homage pay to thee
Time worn walls give back their echo
Hail to U.N.C.

Though the storms of life assail us
Still our hearts beat true
Naught can break the friendships formed at
Dear old N.C.U.
Tobacco Road will be on fire tonight, whether it's the dook commons or Franklin Street.  I'm hoping for bonfires on Franklin Street, of course....

One more before I go, an oldie but a goodie:
A family of dook basketball supporters headed out one Saturday to shop for the youngest boy's birthday.  While in the sports
shop the son picks up a UNC jersey and says to his older sister, "I've decided to become a Tar Heel fan and I would like this UNC jersey for my birthday.  His big sister is outraged by this and  promptly whacks him in the head and says, "Go talk to mother.  Off goes the little lad with the jersey in hand and finds his mother. "Mom?"
"Yes son?"
"I've decided I'm going to be a UNC fan and I would like this jersey for my birthday."  The mother is outraged at this, promptly whacks him around the head and says, "Go talk to your father!"  Off he goes with the UNC jersey in hand and finds his father. "Dad?"
"Yes son?"
"I've decided I'm going to be a 'Heels fan and I would like this jersey for my birthday."  The father is outraged and promptly whacks his son around the head and says, "No son of mine is ever going to be seen in THAT!"  About half an hour later they're all back in the car and heading towards home. The father turns to his son and says, "Son, I hope you've learned something today."  The son says, "Yes, Dad, I have."
"Good son, what is it?"

The son replies, "I've only been a Carolina fan for an hour and I already hate you dook bastards."
