Springtime dusk and bikes and the leaves are finally coming back.
Legendary radio announcer Woody Durham announced Tuesday night he’s stepping down as the “Voice of the Tar Heels,” a job he’s held for 40 years. He’s called more than 1,800 North Carolina football and men’s basketball games in his career. Above, Durham calling UNC’s winning 1982 national championship game. Below, more from DTH sports editor Jonathan Jones:
“You hear UNC sports and you think Woody Durham,” said Greg Tilley, who spotted for Durham at UNC football games this past season. “It’s that way for me and a lot of people who know or listen to him. He is UNC sports.”
So, this is pretty cool: In this window between the Final Four and final exams, UNC’s basketball players have been tweeting locations on campus and then welcoming challengers in five-on-five pickup games. Here’s my story in today’s Journal about one such pickup run last week.
Also, for all you delightful people, here’s an outtake!
One day two weeks ago, the Tar Heels chose to play at Teague dormitory’s half-sized outdoor court, chalked with Carolina blue lines. Spectators lined the balconies of the three-story residence hall until Kendall Marshall hoisted a halfcourt lob to Leslie McDonald, a freshman guard who caught the pass and dunked the ball. It isn’t often, though, that someone who’s 6-foot-4 and weighs 215 pounds flushes an alley-oop on a miniature asphalt court. So when McDonald came down, he brought the rim with him. “It was an accident,” he said.
The rim still hasn’t been replaced—leaving the court vacant next to three sunbathers in bikinis a few days after—but a small dose of destruction didn’t stop the scrimmage that afternoon. Marshall asked a spectator where they could find the closest court, and the whole group migrated across the street to another dormitory with hoops so old that the ball sometimes gets caught in the net.
One UNC sophomore who likes to shoot around on the court outside Avery residence hall received a text message informing him that the crowd was headed for his hall. He chose to stay inside. ”I was talking to a girl on the third floor,” he said.
Hope you enjoy!

One Fine Day: Bell Tower Climb
Seniors, did you climb the Bell Tower yesterday? We’d love to see your pictures and hear your stories like the one below! You can share online here.
This afternoon was the annual “Bell Tower Climb” for UNC seniors. Of course, some coworkers and I tagged along for old times sake. It took a while, but I found our old signatures from our senior day in 2007!
There we are! Ben and Lizzie ‘07… I might have doctored our names a bit.
As a team, we’re preparing for a special season. My off-season plans are to diligently work on honing my basketball skills in all areas with one team-goal in mind — to bring the 2012 national championship home to UNC.
