The battle of who could care less

It’s great to see our neighbors to the east fighting over whose fans have less class, especially in the wake of our 38-18 drubbing of NC State Saturday.

Behold, the NC State Technician v. the Daily Tar Heel. From the Wolfpack:

Win or lose the game tomorrow, these (UNC) fans will remain smug for at least the next few days. If they win, it’ll be the topic of conversation until we play them in basketball.

And from Chapel Hill:

I will deny into the ground that I was stereotypically born with a silver spoon in my mouth. But I would rather be thought of as a stuck-up Carolina girl than a classless State fan any day of the week—and that includes game day.

Neither one is as bad as Duke, but I found that both editorials are spot on about the other team’s fans. In my experience, I’ve also found that State fans are more direct and vulgar with their hate, while Heel fans tend to be condescending and arrogant.

Fortunately, we don’t have to worry about either of them gloating for a while.

Sad day for Tar Heels

Today at 12:57 p.m., North Carolina Police revealed that Eve Carson, Student Body President at Chapel Hill had been shot and killed. Thus far, the act seems to have been random as the police are still looking for her car. There are no suspects at this time. Carson was last seen around 1:30 a.m. and police received a 911 call around 5:00 a.m.

The following video describes the investigation process: wral.com. The latest sad details can be found at the student newspaper’s Web site, the Daily Tar Heel.

Whitney Marshall, the university’s own Student Government president, will be creating a banner in Carson’s honor. In an e-mail to the SG listserv this afternoon, Marshall wrote:

This is an extremely devastating loss for the community at UNC-Chapel Hill and it is important that we show our support for their Student Government during this time of mourning.  Eve was an AMAZING president who looked out for her fellow students.

Tough times on Tobacco Road; stay strong UNC.
