Hysteria! Former Black Ink Editor Lori Willis (above) speaks to a group of CABJ students on Feb. 13 in Howell Hall. Not Even Tyson Has “Got it Like That’ rape and deviant conduct was somewhat equivalent to the following: Contestant: “Hey. Hi’ya doin’?” Tyson: {meanwhile, grabbing contestant's behind) “Y-y-yeah, s- s-so what’s-sup?” from page 4 Tyson: (aside) “Hey man... You saw dat?” Partner in crime: “Who dat?” Tyson: “Man, she’s all ON my tip. You know what that means. Boy, she is sweatin’ me HARD!” Yeah Mike... we know what it means, and now so do you. Lucky for you, she was 18, or it would have meant ‘jailbait’ See fellas, not even Mike Tyson has “got it like that” Now put that on your tip and sweat it A commentary on the Tar Heels’ upset victory over no. 1 Duke. T J. Stancil Ink Staff Writer Unless you’re living in a cave somewhere (or a typical nerd-type Duke student who refuses to believe reality), then you know the UNC basketball team pulled out a close victory against Duke, 75-73, (Wed. Feb. 5). I have never been a fervfcnt ‘Heels fan, but I have to give ‘em dap on that hard- earned victOTy. Since this was such a monumental occasion, I suppose I should savor all the moments that led up to the big event. Besides, with our team, it may never happen again! Let’s see... around 9 p.m.- I arrived at the Dome (a short distance from my home in Hinton James, one of that dorm’s only advantages) with my colleagues for this historic event - Tonya Barnes, and the ever-exuberant Harry Stafford. I knew this was going to be a good night when Harry spotted some of our cheerleaders and howled a bone-piercing “Damn T., look at dat S—t! We gone kick some a-s tonight!” Are nice looking cheerleaders a harbinger of victory? Hmmm around 9:10 a.m. - The game is under way! I squint my eyes to see the court, seeing as I’m in section 211 A, Row R, Seat 10. (Is it a Carolina Athletic Association plot to put us brothers in the nosebleed seats? After all, are they still upset with us about that Homecoming queen thing?) My seat is so high up, to hell with nosebleeds, I had to bend over not to hit my head on the lop of the Dean Dome! around9:35p.m.- Carolina was runnin’ thangs on the basketball court! We definitely had to be doing good because Harry was high fivin’ some white guy in the next row! (Basketball- the event where there are no colors, no races, creeds or genders- everyone is equal, and it really doesn’t matter if you’re black or white- or does it?) around 10:05 p.m.- Things have taken a turn for the worse. Tonya can’t stand to watch as Duke shows us fans here in the Dome why they were 1991 National Champions, 17-0, and ranked Number 1. My nig Harry had everyone in our section staring at him. He was cussing all the officials, and I think he even invented a couple of new words. 10:10- Grant Hill just embarrassed Pat Sullivan. Sullivan tried to “funk” on Grant Hill, but Hill grabbed the ball in mid-air from Sullivan to block the dunk. They called a foul on Hill. (Yeah right. Is it a new rule in the NCAA’s? No embarrassing white guys on national television?) 11:00- Suspense is mounting. Can the ‘Heels do it? I don’t think so, but Tonya and Harry disagree. My “Go State! ” chant I brought from Smithfield won’t help in this situation. 11:25- Thanks to sexually-confused Christian Laettner’s late-game misfirings and a superb game from our boys, Duke is dispatched, 75-73. The court is rushed, and their is mass hysteria! As the court is rushed, my man Eddie Hanes 6f the Carolina junior varsity team laier told me someone stole his leather jacket. (Criminals are always working... Hey if whoever took Eddie’s jacket is reading this, turn it in to the Ink office, please. No questions will be asked.) 11:35- Tonya and I walk back to James. (Harry is still on the court celebrating.) I run into my boys at the M parking lot -- Kelsie Camngton, Anthony Law, Sean Stubblefield, and Eric Williams, among numerous others. They gave me the finger for being at the game while they watched it on television and also informed me they had been interviewed on T. V. about the game. From that point it’s academic. This was a very abnormal evening, and a spectacular game to behold. A special shout out to number 43, Larry Smith, one of my boys from Smithfield. Coach Smith and the guys gave an excellent effort, and the Black Ink staff and 1 give cra/y props to Hubert Davis and the boys! (Hell, it had to be a great game-1 even spoued my editor Myron Pitts there...)
