Tyler Hansbrough and Fathers and Sons

30Mar08

A year ago, I was feeling pretty crappy. Today, I still feel pretty crappy (from the post-MBA Gala malaise), but couldn’t be happier.
Kelly and I watched the game with ~300 of our closest friends at Spice Street in Chapel Hill. We screamed like idiots when Tyler made the game-clinching jump shots down the [...]

Spring Break

05Mar08

I can’t believe that I’m writing about Spring Break. It seems like Fall Break just happened…
Here’s what’s new and what’s going on:
- The internship search is still going. I haven’t signed on anywhere, so I’ll have to remain sparse with the details. I will say that I was pretty disappointed to whiff [...]

UNC Air Guitar Championship

25Jan08

UNC is hosting an Air Guitar Championship at Gerrard Hall tonight. I absolutely can’t wait.
Evidently, Bjorn Turoque (say it out loud) lectured at UNC yesterday. Bjorn co-starred in “Air Guitar Nation” – which I’ve yet to see – and once competed in the air guitar competition circuit. Here’s a video from 2005:
[...]

Kenny George…Again

09Jan08

Tonight’s UNC/UNC-Asheville game did nothing to quell my fascination with Kenny George…and neither did the Times article. Some (non-satirical) thoughts on the game…
First of all, UNC-Asheville is pretty darn good. Their guards, Garland and Smithson, were impressive – they kept up with Ellington and Lawson and then some. Plus, the team maintained [...]

Mild Embarrassment In Strategic Innovation

09Jan08

Today is the first day of Mod III classes. Like many of my classmates, my course schedule is still very much up in the air. As a result, I haven’t bought any of my (non-returnable and obscenely expensive) course packs and have only invested time in the courses that I know that I’m [...]

Integrative Exercise = Hot Mess

07Jan08

Kenan-Flagler welcomed its students back from Holiday Break with an “integrative exercise”. Basically, the program gives us a massively complicated, completely ambiguous, and utterly painful problem that “integrates” all of our learnin’ and then gives us ~36 hours to solve and present it.
Usually – I like this stuff. This, however, has been a [...]

JR Inman Is Going To Get It

16Dec07

Check out this comment from Rutgers center JR Inman regarding tonight’s game against the Heels and his match-up against Tyler Hansbrough:
“Honestly, I’m not a conceited dude, but I really don’t think he can guard me,” Inman said. “He’s really strong, and he’s a really talented player, don’t get it twisted. He’s a threat to [...]

I Can’t Believe I’m Not Watching The Game

14Nov07

The Heels open their season tonight against Davidson and I’m too busy to watch.
It’s really a strange feeling because I usually go to great lengths to rearrange my life to watch Carolina basketball – either at home on TV or (preferably) at the Dean Dome.
We’re tied with 4.49 remaining. I hope we win, but [...]

A Big/Small Kenan-Flagler World

06Aug07

First day of orientation was great. Good times, good programming, good food, and, of course, GREAT people. People from all parts of the globe with all kinds of backgrounds, work experiences, and personalities.
Funny thing, though. Of all the different people from all over the world, the following happen to be my classmates:
Troy [...]

First Day of School!

06Aug07

Orientation starts today.
My pencils are sharpened.  My snappy new lunchbox is packed.  I’ve donned my “first day of school” attire, as selected by Kelly and as displayed over night by the little man I fashioned out of the clothes in the floor beside my bed.
I’m ready to ask lots of questions.  I’m ready to have [...]
