Final score: 114-62, Carolina.

Early in the second half of the Carolina/Shaw exhibition game at the Dean Dome tonight, THE ROY pulled his patented I-am-very-upset-with-you-but-in-a-passive-aggressive-Southern-way five for five substitution, bringing his starting five -- Ty Lawson, Tyler Hansbrough, Alex Stepheson, Wayne Ellington and Marcus Ginyard -- out for the next five. Thirty seconds later, he pulled that five -- Bobby Frasor, Quentin Thomas, Danny Green, Deon Thompson, and Will Graves -- for the last five on his bench.

Those five were Mike Copeland, a junior who's averaged less than 5 minutes per game the last two years, and four reasonably short, skinny white dudes who, some as recently as last year, played on Carolina's JV team.

Copeland And The White Dudes not only held the lead, they extended it, and when they came out for the original starting five, they got a standing ovation.

The Heels are also finally rockin' the Nike compression jersey uniforms that tOSU and Oregon and Syracuse rocked in the tournaments last year, and as girl bloggers, we feel it is well within our rights to comment on the fact that these uniforms are really damn sexy. Bobby Frasor and Surry Wood in particular rocked them well. Ty Lawson still needs to pull up his damn pants.

It's not like we can judge this team in a game against Shaw -- but I've got this feeling it's going to be a pretty fun year.
