the home run derby is tonight, BUT LET'S TALK UNC football

I will probably watch some of it...at least Big Papi. Shout out to Red Sox Nation!!! Landon Donovan and Coach Bradley will be on The Daily Show and I am definitely DVR-ing that! GO USA Futbol, but what I am very interested in TODAY is an article that I read on my friend's facebook page.

It goes a little something like this....Phil Steele, who is apparently some sort of college football "expert," is saying that he "doesn't think that the QB position is going to keep Carolina (UNC) from being a contender." He goes on saying "With a defense like North Carolina has on the field, you can almost play the game where you don't turn the ball over and don't make mistakes, let the defense win the games."

Most fans of a college football team would take Phil Steele's comments and run with it (unless of course you are a fan of a football school and/or a SEC school! ROLL TIDE! I am pretty sure Nick Saban would be MORTIFIED if someone said that about his team!). However, I would LOVE for someone to point out this Mr. Steele at the next UNC football game. He, obviously, has not been to one where TJ Yates played, oh and either lost or tried his best to lose the game for the Heels. I would walk up to Mr. Steele, tap him ever so politely on the shoulder, and then in my sweetest southern voice say, "ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?! Mr. Steele, Do you know EVERY single time TJ touches the ball Tar Heel fans CRINGE and can barely watch the play?!?!" Honestly, I have been to games where I have had to cover my eyes for fear that TJ would do something stupid! I HOPE and PRAY (YES, I have been known to PRAY to the GREAT LORD ABOVE for a TAR HEEL VICTORY!) that Bryn Renner wins the starting QB position for the Heels this year, and that he does NOT have to "try to not make mistakes...." No, I want the offense to play very well. I want the defense to play EVEN BETTER! I WANT A QUARTERBACK THAT I CAN ACTUALLY BELIEVE IN AND CHEER FOR LOUDLY! Not a QB that I turn to my cousin and say, "well, I know it was 3 and out, but at least he didn't fumble the ball or throw an interception." Anxiety is not the feeling I want this season! Alabama won the BCS title last season(ROLL TIDE). Last time I checked, they were undefeated, and while their defense was GREAT, their offense was NOT JUST mediocre! So, Mr. Steele, this Tar Heel fan expects just a little more from the UNC football team this season! The Tar Heel basketball team.... that is a whole other expectation! GO HEELS!
