This evening while waiting for my order at one of my favorite food trucks, was talking basketball w/ random guy there that was big UNC fan. He not only knew our guys, he knew their first names (CJ, Shavir, and Jacob).
UNC fan
- Thread starter JonathanW_rivals
- Start date
Did he say why? I mean, that's impressive. Wonder if a buddy or dad or something is a UK fan and watches games with them.
It's cool. But can he spell Oscar's last name??
I can name UNC starters as well as a couple of other teams, if you are fan of basketball, especially college is becomes easier.
I know last names of guys on other teams, but only first names of my (our) team (UK). I may know a few first names on other teams, but not many.
I got empanadas, that's all that truck makes.
our orders were done, and he took his inside the brewery and I took mine home.
He seemed a little bit weird. But I can respect he knew his basketball. Although he was surprised Oscar is only 6'8 or 6'9.
I told him that Toppin may be the surprise guy this year.

Personally, I would b surprised if Oscar was actually 6'8 or 6'9. I remember other teams' 6'9 players looking a couple inches over ours last year, especially big O
Not to be rude, as Oscar is probably 6’8-6’9, he’s not 6’7 but what does this have to do with the thread title or thread itself? Lol
I've said it many times that they are obsessed with wanting to be like UK, especially in recent years when they realized that going back to Dean UNC has cheated massively to win but don't have as many titles as UK. Jealousy runs deep in Tarhole land.
I never heard of empanadas before, I looked them up and they look great. What filling was in it? Looks like it would have fruit, like a small fried pie or turn over. But if it had meat, cheese, veggies, ect. sounds good.
The fact that you live 25 mins from UNCs campus makes this story even more wild
And though CJ didn’t play last year, he lit them up for 21 two years ago at Iowa.
I don't doubt your story. But living in NC, my experience:
If you combined the Basketball Brains of every Tarhole into one person, that guy would still flunk 1st grade.
I've had them from a couple different trucks, and many years ago a restaurant. This one is the best. They have:
- honey bourbon chicken
- a OJ and tequila marinated chicken
- a chorizo and cheese
- a ground beef and onions and sweet peppers
- and for desert (my son loves this one) a nutella and strawberry (sprinkled w/ powdered sugar)
They are all good.
I agree with you. My shock was why I posted this thread.
The Duke fans are even less knowledgeable, but a little less arrogant. And the NC St fans, are in so bad of an inferiority complex it is sad.
I understand what you're saying, but many of the threads on this site devolve into something other than what the OP intended within the first ten or fifteen posts.
Forgive me for questioning you, especially since you live there, but Duke fans are LESS arrogant than UNC fans?
I don’t like them at all but Kansas and North Carolina fans are the only ones out there in the same galaxy as us as far as basketball knowledge.
I used to but they’re so bitter and demented at this point, any knowledge has eroded.
I'm not exactly sure what the thread topic actually is, because the OP hit the "start thread" button before he finished the story, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't about the arrogance of duke and uNC fans.
My sisters in laws are IU fans and they bring up the watford shot everytime, I show them my championship shirt from that year, they usually stop talking after that
I am equally obsessed with UNC so I can understand. I know all their players and follow them closely because they are our only true peer.

Had some fantastic empanadas in the Miami airport. Worth a layover in Miami just for this experience.
The OP stated 2 posts above me that the UNC fan was surprised that Oscar was 6'9..... so... just conversing with the OP if that is OK?
If O is 6'9, all other CBB players we have played against are in a conspiracy together to understate their height by a couple of inches. For example, pull up the Kansas game and compare their 6'7 to 6'9 players to ours
Prove that he’s 6’7? Since you’re convinced of it, prove it. Should be some sort of evidence since you seem so sure?
