UNC vs. College of Charleston DTH Highlights

The Monster was in attendance, with my parents, and Big Soda at this game. While I’m super stoked to see the Heels get a win, a few things standout from the game:

1. The defensive pressure of the Heels needs to be turned up a FEW notches

2. Rebounding, especially preventing the other team from getting offensive boards is an issue.

3. Kendall Marshall needs more minutes, and Harrison Barnes needs to step it up.

4. MOST IMPORTANTLY, the Dean Dome needs to learn how to hype up a young team. You could hear a pin drop in there until CofC took the lead with about 10 minutes left in the game. People need to get behind this young team and motivate them. You could tell when the crowd got hype, they got hype.

Monday Kick(s) Off : Who is stunting harder?

One of my favorite blogs is Nice Kicks and one of my favorite features they do is Kicks On Court (click to see today’s, where we got these). Who was stunting harder, Jeff Green with the KDIII’s, or Ty Lawson with the Nike Uptempo V’s?

 

 

The Monster’s Vote: LAWSON! However, whoever is rockin those 1/2 Cents in the Lawson pic gets a nod too!

Killer Mike – Ready Set Go (feat T.I.) Trailer

We now live in a world with trailers for music videos. This one drops November 30th from Killer Mike featuring Tip.

Happy Thanksgiving

 

Even The Monster needs a break. I might get tipsy and fat and decide to post something that came in over the break while sitting on my sofa watching football, and I might not. That’s the beauty of running a site. If you get some posts, you do, and if you don’t, you don’t.

Either way, from me and mines to you and yours, have a great holiday!
