Good Morning and Happy Monday!
I have a friend with a gambling problem. Not really, but my group of friends started accusing him of this after we noticed he said "bet" after everything.
While this is a common phrase among ~youths~ these days, this guy was serious. He would place $1 bets and even penny bets. I currently have a $5 bet with him about Lebron James leaving the Cavs, which basically means I'm a high roller.
Now, these bets are all fun and games – no bookies and no high amounts. However, a recent Supreme Court decision legalizing sports gambling may mean bad news for my friend's budding gambling issue and a new market concerning college sports.
Maybe the DTH should start running the odds for UNC games... You didn't hear that from me.

Meme Monday
In our attempt to be ~hip with the kids~ here are some memes we created in honor of our orientation guide recently featured on our Welcome to UNC! Facebook page. If you don't get them, that's alright. We don't know what kids today are doing either.
