Re: UNCG, UNCW, UNCC All get more money from Raleigh

Unfortunately, with all the apartments already here and more going up, Boone is starting to look a lot like Carrboro.

Re: Offseason thread: recruiting, transfer portal schedule, general discussion

Michigan was 25-28 (89.3%) from the stripe, including 20 in a row, in the national championship game.

Free throws win games.

Poor free throw shooting costs us at least 4 or more games a year.

Re: Watauga housing affordability

And in-town valley homes are not inexpensive. The ones that are inexpensive need at least 200k+ of repairs and/or renovations.

Take it to the rim and we will win this game going away.

Keep shooting and missing 3’s, we keep them in the game.

Our team needs to practice from 15 feet straight in front of the basket.
You make a great point, but hasn't that ship sailed? :D
When you are #360 of 360 in free throws, there’s nowhere to go but up!

Re: MBB vs Eastern Michigan 2/7 1pm est

That would mean the Athletic Department would actually have to spend minimal dollars on the fan experience at the games. It would also involve some marketing, which for basketball is pretty much nonexistent.

Re: Tapp Room closing…

Unfortunately the Tapp Room has gone downhill over the past year or so. Perhaps it was due to absentee ownership? It just wasn’t very clean not well-run when we went there to meet some friends from out of town. Hate to see something not independently-owned going in there. And like a lot of us on her...

It the last reasonably flat large tract of land left in the town limits.

Re: Boone Restaurants Closing

Hate to see Red Onion close, but I can understand after growing up in the restaurant business. Sometimes you get tired, it’s time to retire, or you don’t have anyone to take it over. 45 years is a phenomenal run, with an 80% failure rate in that industry within 5 years.
