DBR Podcast #141 - Zion ends basketball

[JasonEvans]

Words cannot describe the dunk that Zion laid down upon the poor Clemson Tigers... but we give it our best shot. Plus, Sam shows us what Zion's dunk would look like if it was executed by an unathletic, Jewish, business school student wearing blue jeans. Yes, there is video of this amazing event!

Sam, I am more impressed with your limberosity than your 360! http://www.crazietalk.net/ourhouse/images/smilies/devil9f.gif

Jason, as one who graduated just a few years before you, I know what it’s like to get a little older. Old habits do die hard. In fact, I still catch myself calling Bank of America Nationsbank. All this to say, it was at least 3 times you referred to Tre Jones as Tyus.

This getting older ain’t for the faint of heart!

As usual, great job in the podcast to all if you!

[BandAlum83]

I was heartened to hear mention of the Alumni Band. Are there any DBRs who play in it?

I can touch my toes even with these little T-Rex arms.

No, you just misheard me. I was using Tre's entire name. It is a little known fact that his middle name is Ulysses. I was say "Tre-us," which is what his close friends call him, not Tyus ;)

That's my story and I am sticking to it ;)

-Jason "in other news, I know there was one time I said "Virginia" when I meant to say "Villanova" (when talking about who Florida State had lost to). It was a bad night for me" Evans

I'm such a hater... I really, truly think he only made it about 343 degrees...

And that might have been a travel. :cool: GoDuke!

[devildeac]

Two of Zion's teammates beg to differ about "the dunk."

From the Raleigh N&O yesterdeay:

"And there was no mercy whatsoever in the dunk, even if teammates R.J. Barrett and Mike Buckmire both rated it “a 7 or 8,” based on what they have seen behind the scenes."

;):rolleyes:

I'm going to send this in to K. He might have a spot for him on the bench. But the beard will have to go. Consider it a community service.

Is he fast enough to be a manager?

That's a tough one. Those guys can do the Kessel run in under 12 parsecs.

Some of us call it NCNB.......some may be old enough to say North Carolina National Bank...........

Some of us knew CCB (now Sun), FUNB (now Wells Fargo) and Guaranty State Bank as well as Security Savings & Loan, among others.

While at Duke, I had a CCB account. I came to Nationsbank through one of their many acquisitions (American Security Bank in Wash DC.) I think it may have been an NCNB account for a minute before becoming Nationsbank.

[jv001]

How many posters remember: Southern National Bank, Peoples Bank and Fleet National Bank? So many have merged into the larger banks and been forgotten. GoDuke!

In the past, yes. Sadly, I missed my chance this year.

In August 1972 I opened my checking account at the CCB branch in the basement of the Union building. In the spring of 1973, NCNB put an ATM machine (in the corner of the Union building nearest the bus station) in and I got my first BankAmericard credit card!

I never did have an account at Walkalloverya, um, Wachovia.:p

Wachovia was taken over by Wells Fargo as a result of the financial crisis. Wells Fargo became part of what was First Union National Bank - and the name of the larger entity was changed to Wells Fargo. The original Wells Fargo and Wachovia no longer exist.

Same with NCNB/NationsBank. It took over Bank of America and then changed its name to Bank of America.

After the FLa St game, I think the time is ripe for another pod cast to:

1. Celebrate Cam's true coming out

2. Discuss refereeing and its impact on the game

3. Talk about how RJ came through

4. Discuss how coach K pushed the right buttons to get a win.

I'm still elated from last night
