The Daily Tar HeelWednesday, January 24, 19907 j Let's get it straight: answers to questions nobody's afraid to ask Now that I've wined most nf the poo off my face from last week (I picked Duke over UNC and several cuards over King Rice), I would like Uptake a moment to thank all of the people who cared enough to send their very best. That is, those who called me and told me exactly what they think of me and my column. I learned several new words, found out that a lot more people read the DTI I than 1 thought and honed my oh-so-necessary debating skills. I love input from my dedicated readers. So, as they say on talk shows every where, let's go to the phones. "Hello, Brutus, you're on the air." Question No. 1: "Who the ! do you think you are? This was perhaps the most popular query, and I'm glad you all asked. After all, a person's self-image is very im portant to his development as a loving and caring human being; I just had to know who I was. It all started 17 years ago, w hen I was in kindergarten. All of the kids in the class had to draw a picture of .someone. Naturally. I chose my hero and all-time favorite coach. Dean Smith. Then we all had to tell what we liked about all of the different pictures (This is when I find out who I am). You see, at the age of five, I was already a sportsw riter at heart. So when little Queen Rice (no relation) asked me what I thought of her creation, I boldly replied, "Well, it's not bad, but there are at least six kids in this class who are better artists than you are." To this, the little freckle-faced brat responded, "Dave Glenn, you're a poophead." It was then that I knew who I was Dave Glenn and I have little Queen Rice to thank for it. Boy, do I owe her a lot. For years after that episode per haps the turning point in my life I've had many a person say, "Dave, you're an idiot" or "Good article, Dave" (strange but true). Wrestling Dave V7 Glenn i Writer ; V After enough times, I began to think that either I really was Dave Glenn or the whole thing was just one big cosmic joke. I took a chance and went with Door Number One. So that's who the! I think I am. I could be wrong, but thanks for asking. Question No. 2: "Why don't you see how well you could do against King Rice?" Well, I never said Rice was bad I simply said I thought other players were better than he but I'll answer the question anyway. After the NBA decided that Magic Johnson and Michael Jordan were not allowed to compete in a $1 million game of one-on-one, the promoters came flocking to Chapel Hill. They wanted Rice and Glenn. They wanted me to go around the country, sign autographs and promote an inaugural "The King And I" basket ball tour. Rice accepted graciously, almost drooling. The problems started when Lloyd's of London backed out on the $1.3 bil lion insurance policy for my left (writ ing) arm. Then, Al Davis of the Los Angeles Raiders told me he liked the fact that whenever I predicted the Tar Heels would lose, they ended up kicking the ! out of their opponents. He of fered me $2 million to come to L. A. and do the same for the Raiders. The bas ketball offer looked less appealing. But Dean Smith knew he couldn't watch his motivational tool fly the coup; he countered with a $2.5 million offer. from page 6 and UNC's Shawn Hocker was on his back on three separate occasions. But the Wolfpack's Sylvester Terkay could only register a 1 0-5 decision, which left the Tar Heels to breath a sigh of relief and celebrate the victory. ?Tm happy with (the victory)," Lam said. "We used six freshmen, and they're pom? c ; tr oft ricrhf tht flrct tim vrm wrestle State." Lam only celebrated the victory briefly, as he was already looking toward the next Tar Heel opponent, the Clemson Tigers, another tough ACC team, next Friday night in Carmichael Auditorium. Suddenly, with all these dollars flying around, I felt like a major league pitcher with a lifetime record of 26-30. I told Smith I would do it only if he changed the team colors to silver and black. He said "No way." I thought he was bluffing; he wasn't. I leave for L.A. in May. Statement No. 1: "David Glenn, if you ever want to show your face around here again, you'd better stop writing bad things about the Tar Heels." I really loved this one. If there's one good thing that has come out of my candid criticism of the Tar Heels, it's that it really gets those emotions flow ing. Repression can be hazardous to your health, you know. So now that the general population of North Carolina is in better health (thank me later), I'll respond. The caller, a brilliant sort no doubt, forgot to tell me who he or she was. So how was I supposed to know where I wasn't allowed to show my face? When I heard the word "David," I thought that I knew who it was who had such intense feelings for me. You see, only certain people call me "David" my mom. Dean Smith, Mack Brown, my grandmother and certain professors who don't appreci ate my sense of humor w hen it comes to handing in papers. But my mom has always said that she'll love me no matter what I do; that counted her out. Ditto for my grand mother. Dean Smith? Too busy winning. Mack Brown? Too busy recruiting. So I still don't know where I'm not allowed to go. I've been ducking in and out of classrooms, supermarkets and bars all week. In case you're wonder ing, I'm the guy in the raincoat and dark glasses. In closing, let me say that I am going to continue to write whatever the ! (I'm starting to like those little things) I want about the Tar Heels. Some people actually like it. If nothing else, it keeps things interesting and gives people something to talk about. But let's relax a little bit. Debate is fun; arguments and threats are not. If you find yourself getting a little bit too worked up about things, try to remember this modified version of an old adage: "If you can't laugh at yourself, laugh at your local sportswriter."
