Stuff Only I Care About LXXII

Weekly Random Thoughts On The Carolina Tar Heels

The Heels topped Boston College and Florida State this week, raising their record to 28-2. They are back on top of both polls!

The Heels have a B-I-G game Saturday night at Duke (Fun Fact: the Heels are undefeated on the road this year). A win will almost certainly wrap up a number one seed for the Heels. A loss will probably earn Duke a number one seed.

I'll be watching the game in a noisy bar just so I don't have to listen to Dick Vitale.

Rock!

The lineup for the Rocklahoma music festival was announced today and includes the following acts: Bret Michaels, LA Guns (the version without Phil Lewis (and therefore, the inferior version)), Enuf Z Nuff, Armored Saint, Night Ranger (Night Ranger?), Pretty Boy Floyd, Every Mother's Nightmare, Tora Tora, Black N Blue, Trixter, Kix, Warrant, Cinderella, Lynch Mob, and Tesla.

There's also some band called TBA playing. I've never heard of them, but they must be pretty damn cool because they're playing four different sets and headlining the festival two nights.

Ok. That last part was a joke. But seriously, wtf? You can't announce a festival lineup when you don't have two of your four headliners in place. You guys should've just waited a week or two until everything was finalized.
