Odds and Ends: Bench Warrant Edition

- Marcus Ginyard apparently had to turn himself over a bench warrant issued for his missing a court date in June. It seems that Ginyard was cited for an expired inspection sticker and violating the noise ordinance in October. Of course playing your stereo at any volume with the windows rolled down will get your a noise ordinance violation in Chapel Hill. I am not sure what is up with UNC players missing court dates. Someone buy these guys a Blackberry stat. I am also waiting for a judge in San Antonio to issue a bench warrant for failure to show up on the court in the Final Four.
- Andy Katz discusses the new three point line and focuses a great deal on how frightened and confused players will be if they play on a court that has the men’s and women’s line. This allegedly will require oodles of mental preparation. Among the other horrors described are missed calls by refs resulting in time consuming reviews and someone losing a game to Duke at Cameron over it. Okay I made that last one up. Anyway, Roy loves the new line and the fact they left the lane where it was at because UNC has Tyler Hansbrough who will feast on opposing defenses that will now take a bit longer to drop a double team. He also said The Two Tylers, Hansbrough and Zeller will be chunking threes as well which will result in Digger Phelps’ head exploding. Someone advise Jay Bilas to move a foot to the right to avoid the spattering of brain matter(I know, I know “What brain matter?) Anyway, I will say that if Tyler Squared is effective at hitting threes then God have mercy on the ACC.
- Gary Parrish is most likely stirring the pot with this one for the sake of some web traffic goodness. Note he does say nice things about Tyler Hansbrough and has high hopes for his pro career. However, Stephen Curry cannot possibly be the face of college basketball. Junior high basketball maybe, but not college basketball(and please realize this is because he looks like he is 12 not plays that way)
- It is possible that we will get David and Travis Wear confused at least 20 times while they are at UNC and if I were Roy I would have them swap jerseys in the locker room at halftime just to screw with the other team.

Who ever is better out of the Wear boys will swap jerseys at the half with the least fouled jersey #.
I read the Gary Parrish piece…. he is pretty fair about Tyler’s game and how good he is, but I disagree when he says Tyler isn’t fun for the average fan to watch. Any one who appreciates basketball should be amazed at his work ethic alone.
As for Curry, he is fun to watch, but he also looks out of place. Kind of like watching one of those kid movies where the 15 year old makes the pros. I wish him continued success and maybe some facial hair.
Oh, just read page two of Parrish’s article. I guess he had the facial hair idea first.
If he grows facial hair doesn’t that make him Evil Stephen Curry?
Yeah, so your right, no way he is the face of college basketball.
Anyone who thinks that Tyler Hansbrough’s game is not fun to watch needs to say so for themselves only! I love the Ben Wallace/Antawn Jamison/Amare Stoudemire/Tyler Hansbough/Wes Unseld/Dave Cowens type of players. They look like they are burning the midnight oil on the court and the energy never seems to cease. The ability they also possess to score in traffic is a fun thing in itself as well. I wish he would have said who he thought WAS fun so I could contrast it with Hansbrough.
Ah… you said Wes Unseld!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 Man, I wanted to say that but I didn’t think anyone would remember. Thanks, JB.
AHHHHHHHHH! MY EYES! I can not belive there is an ad for DOOK basketball stuff on ebay. Someone is messing with us.
If people want to get rid of their Duke merchandise let’em. Wilf, I love the demeanor of people like Wes Unseld. Mostly quiet, but go out and get the job done in a big way. I don’t know that he will ever be forgotten because I will continue to go out and talk about him ’til I am blue in the face, even if my audience is only 15 years old. I will explain it all to them.
It was on this site.
Keith, I did NOT know that! That is uncalled for isn’t it? This is the best UNC blog that exists, and Duke should not be allowed any opportunity on it. As far as I know, this is not an EOB (equal opportunity blog). Of course, we could feel sorry for Duke and give them a little broadband time and let them host on a very popular UNC site.
NO DOOK NO WAY. This site is my safe place. I woke up this morning started coffee clicked on CNN to make sure aliens didn’t land last night then clicked over here…Bam there it was. Sick.
The way Google Ads works is it picks up on the site content and produces ads based on that. I mentioned Duke a few times in the past set of posts so it latched on to that and put an ad out for it. I would have to filter all of the Ebay ads to get rid of it.
Never under-estimate The Rat. He seems to have made high-up connections everywhere (back when he was winning the big games and everyone loved him), and it would appear that Ebay is no exception. He is an evil one, that rat.
Marcus will have to take care of this mess. He will. Geesh, between the Lawson mumbo jumbo, the sky diving exploits of Bobby and Tyler, and now the warrant for Marcus, we have everything we need to market the newest reality hit (haven’t we hit a decade of these terrible shows by now?). It would be titled, “Tar Heel Blues.” I dunno, that sounds studid, like the idea for the show…man, I can’t wait for the upcoming season…
Yes, we have hit a decade of television decadence! Especially the bombardment of reality TV. I am too busy enjoying and living out my life to watch how many others screw up theirs on TV. Give me a Sly Stallone/Denzell Wash./Steven Segall/Charles Bronson/Clark Gable movie any day over reality TV.
JB, you’re killing me. I couldn’t agree more, and I love all those movies, but not as much as BB ;<)
As for The Ratman and EBay, it’s a dook plot to infiltrate the weak of mind, and sell them some stuff the dook student stores were stuck with, you know… Christan Latebus crotchless panties, Bobby Hurley crying towels and Gerald Henderson boxing gloves.
THF’ It’s not your fault. I know the Dookies have something to do with it. Since you’ve filtered them out of here its their only way in.
Now you’re killing Me Wilf! That was funny! I’d love some autographed Bobby Hurley crying towels. Maybe McRoberts would like to pitch in on that too. Glad to see you enjoy those movies as well Wilf.
[...] Marcus Ginyard gets a little too into his music. [...]
So what sort of merchandise would the Dookies market for Greg Paulus? I’m thinking he’ll need some work upstairs after, uh, well, you know…the Danny Green dunk and all.
For someone who loves to flop, you’d think he would have flopped sooner before Danny Green’s crotch was pressed firmly in his face. I wonder if The Rat’s face twitched when he saw that. Better yet, I wonder how Frodo & Samewise reacted on the bench…?
Josh-
In regards to your post about reality tv, my advice (for anyone wanting to escape) would be to watch Jersies in the Rafters, followed by the Championship Season (2005) dvd. If you still crave more, watch the dvd about the 1982 season. Top all of that off with a YouTube viewing of the 1998 demolition of Dook at the Smith Center.
By the way, I wrote “studid instead of stupid ” in a previous post. I once again negated the use of the edit control.
I may take you up on that DeanForever. I am headed over to youtube right now!
Yeah, silly foul by Maktar Ndyie, if you can call Battie backing into Maktar and falling down a foul. No call on the Vince Carter fadaway in which he clearly received contact from 2 Dukies. In spite of that, we beat the “tar” out of them.
