Stealing the Carolina Game Ball. What a great move.

Just awesome.

Given Roy's propensity for throwing his players under the bus...

We already have an annual award for the Duke-UNC game. It's called the Victory Bell.

Can someone explain what happened that everybody is talking about?

I heard that there would be surprises last night, but having the Carolina game ball delivered to Wallace Wade was one of the best pranks ever! It's right up there with the Cadets kidnapping that silly Navy goat.

Hold on there! The one to point to is 1960, when the Duke freshmen stole Navy's goat and painted a big blue D on it.

I don't know what year it happened, but I seem to remember that some time during the 70's, some fantabulous Duke students stole ramses from chapel hell and painted DUKE on its sides and I also seem to remember seeing DUKE mowed into the grass at the dean dome

UNC had an elaborate game opener where two parashooters were to land in Kenan Stadium with the game ball. Sounds like great theatrics.

Problem is, they got confused and parashooted into Wally Wade instead. (There is video of it linked on the front DBR page).

Word is, they were off course because INC blows so bad.

So then what's this about stealing the game ball? They were dropping in with the ball to be played with?

Yep.

Pretty funny...though some UNC folk were not amused.

My guy is a tarheel and said that there was no mention of the parachuters Saturday night by the carolina radio network. When I first read about it early Sunday, I thought it was a joke. I'm so, so glad to know that it is a joke and that it's on the slime blue!! Hee, hee

One my nurses, who happens to be a huge ECU fan, suggested that when the carolina game ball was dropped into WW, the Duke players should have signed it and sent it over the chapel hell. Ahh, that would have been classic!
