April Trip Post 2

Tobacco Road

Having never been to the research triangle area of North Carolina, getting to visit all the colleges in the area was a real treat.

We stayed in Chapel Hill, and drove to nearby NC State and Duke, but missed Wake Forest which was a bit too far way.

The college sport research conference included Jay Bilas, Danny Green, the heads of ESPN and Raycom sports, and many others. Made for a great time.

Kenan Stadium - UNC




Carolina Basketball HOF
(Dean Dome closed this day - pics in another post)




NC State ... one of the best statues outside their athletic offices that I have seen. As for the stadium and basketball arena, they were nice but several miles removed from campus ... did not feel like a college atmosphere. The Carolina Hurricane of the NHL also play in the RBC facility.


NC State Football Practice ... in the pic below we think we might be getting run out of practice by a grad assistant for Tom O'Brien of the Wolfpack ... they didn't realize I had dealt with one Harry "Squab" Jones before, or that I could flash some media credentials at them ... all was well (as soon as we left).
