Following the trend of other notable Denver athletes having legal trouble, former UNC guard Ty Lawson was arrested this week. He allegedly broke his girlfriend’s phone during a fight. It has been rumored that the argument ensued after Ty’s girlfriend gave him a bad rating on Lulu and rejected him on Tinder.

ConnectCarolina 2.0

?ConnectCarolina is about as useful as a poop-flavored lollipop. So hats off to the anonymous computer science student who tried to make a new version that is actually easier to use. I’m sure that’ll really speed up things for students looking to get their laptops back. Way to go Carolina innovation and entrepreneurship.

Anybody who used it

As great as the idea was, the site was sketchier than Ty Lawson’s house recently. The only thing worse than ConnectCarolina may be the people that actually signed up for the 2.0 version. On an unrelated note, we are now collecting credit card and Social Security numbers to help manage your finances.

After only witnessing the Gio Bernard punt return, ESPN ranked UNC’s Tar Pit as one of the top football fan sections in the nation. Our deafening wine and cheese fans should be the difference maker in showdowns this season against powerhouses like Middle Tennessee State and Old Dominion.

A fresh start

It’s that time again … freshmen are back. That means big-ass maps, replying to entire listservs, pledges in costume and kids that had SOOOO many beers last night. The good news is, in just a few months we get to hear them complaining about not getting any classes they want. ConnectCarolina 2.0 anyone?

Name Name

Student Body President Christy Lambden appeared on the front page of The Daily Tar Heel earlier this week. He was featuredwith the caption Name Name, followed by incomprehensible Latin. We’re not sure if this was a mistake or a sign that Lambden is part of the Illuminati. Either way, Veni, vidi, vici Mr. Name.
