RIP Rameses XVII


Seems that all the news from the college sports world is coming out of UNC's Chapel Hill these days. Yesterday, the campus celebrated the announcement that Tyler Hansbrough was returning for his senior season. Darn - I was really looking forward to another overblown alumn of a North Carolina school sitting on a bench somewhere in the NBA (see JJ Reddick)

Today's news is a little more somber. Rameses XVII - the goat mascot of the UNC's football team, has passed away from a mortal head butting from his son, Pablo. This doesn't sound like an accident to me. His son was the Rameses XVII's heir and now takes on the name of Rameses XVIII. What makes this even more disappointing for the fans of this ACC football powerhouse is that pops was the best kicker on the UNC football team and his son is academically ineligible. Sources say that the football team is busy recruiting a kangaroo at the local zoo to take Rameses XVII roster spot.

Seriously? You just have to take a stab at Redick like that? Where's the Christian LOVE? All I feel is hate.

This is a special message for C.C...

You should really require your wife to confer with you before she posts any more comments to your blog. Her "your mom" comment was so lame that I'm afraid she's going to bring shame to the entire C.C. family.
