Adam Rank sez: "But then again, would you want to show up if Greg Paulus was our starting point guard?"

This story from ESPN reminds me of a great quote from The Roy last year, late in the season: "So we've got 17 guys that go between Einstein and Bozo the clown."

It's already a comedy of friggin' errors in Chapel Hill this year, as one can tell from injuries such as Mike Copeland concussing himself on a teammate's elbow:
North Carolina's Tyler Hansbrough is ready for the top-ranked Tar Heels' opener against Davidson on Wednesday after injuring his thumb in an exhibition game last week ... But junior reserve Michael Copeland is unlikely to play after colliding with Alex Stepheson's elbow during Saturday's practice. He required five stitches above his left eye and suffered a slight concussion.
So we're the pre-season number one, but apparently we can't walk down the street without hurting ourselves. AWESOME, GUYS.

I suppose I can console myself with the realization that during our exhibition games, at least nobody got tangled in their own jersey and fell over at half court like Brandan Wright did last year. I guess that's a step up.

The Heels tip off the season tomorrow at 7 p.m. Eastern Time on ESPN, facing Davidson in Charlotte. Davidson's been getting votes in the AP poll but hasn't broken the top 25 yet, so it should be a good early test for the Heels. WWTHD? will be here with beer, Jack Daniels, and a live blog starting 30 minutes before tip (or whenever dex. gets up from her nap). If you bring pizza, we'll let you sit on our living floor and scream at the TV with us. No mushrooms or green peppers.
