I mean hey, you've got ice cream, then you've got bubble gum for dessert! As I got older I learned to appreciate the humongous salads they served, which was a really good deal. I live in Wilmington now and the one here closed, so no more ice cream or salads.... When I was a kid I always loved Swensen’s bubble gum ice cream.

Can't beat that ice cream they serve either. I first got engaged with UNC basketball in 81. I was only 8 years of age at the time. Been watching ever since! That beautiful UNC campus is an experience all to itself! Glad you had the opportunity to attend college there. HeelYeah, I loved Swenson’s when I was growing up too.

My first vivid memories of Carolina basketball were the early 80's and I had family attending UNC at that time so I got to visit campus as a kid. My uncle was a manager at Swensen's and the basketball players would frequent there often, so I was able to see some of my heroes. I don't think there was any doubt where I'd be attending college, and certainly no doubt as to the color of my blood. We have all been spoiled by the athletic success we've seen in Chapel Hill, and many of us have been further spoiled by it's beautiful campus. And I don't regret being spoiled one bit!!

My dad talks about the 60's Carolina often. I talk about the 80's teams because that is when I was most fervently interested in TarHeel Basketball. Now, again, my passion is what it used to be during the MJ/Worth/Perkins/Daugherty/K. Smith era. If you have MJ in your avatar, you’re not old enough to have developed memory issues.

Shyatt continued the rough play that Barnes had installed, so I guess that's why I couldn't tell the two apart :-) It's funny how these things sort of all merge together in the mind after a few years. Maybe that's a sign of getting older? THF, oops you’re right. Shyatt continued the rough play that Barnes had installed, so I guess that’s why I couldn’t tell the two apart :-)

Barnes left for Texas after that season. No, it was 1998 because I remember Jamison and Carter playing and I also remember Barnes whining on the sidelines. Barnes left for Texas after that season.

I remember being at that game with my wife, and we thought 'here is something we may never see happen again'. It was great! I believe the 4 player Clemson fiasco was during Larry Shyatt’s tenure.
