‘Means too much to him': UNC guard wants to win, not lead ‘Terrence Brown Show'

Terrence Brown doesn’t do video games. The now-North Carolina men’s basketball guard had tried. He was in a new, different environment after he transferred to Utah last season. So he bought himself a PC and gave gaming another go. “But I still just didn’t like it,” Brown said. He needed a hobby, though, and music filled the role. Every morning, he plays music when he’s in the shower, again when he’s headed to the gym and “pretty much” all day until he sleeps. There was a studio about five minutes from where he lived in Salt Lake City and his Utah teammate Seydou Traore remembered the producers there would let them come in whenever they wanted. Not that Brown needed long — Traore remembered he’d write songs in four or five minutes, rapping just off the flow of the beat. “Just, like, off the top of his head,” Traore said, “so that made it impressive.” But that’s because it’s real. Brown said he feels a lot of rappers rap about things that aren’t. “I usually rap about things that’s realistic,” Brown said, “like what actually go on in my life.” It’s a way of getting his feelings out, in the

Quick Thoughts on UNC football ahead of a showdown with Louisville

UNC handled UConn last Saturday. The defense flipped its usual script, surrendering an abnormally high number of explosive plays (nine) but also generating an abnormally high level of havoc: eight QB hurries, three sacks, four tackles for loss, two interceptions (one returned for a touchdown), and a fumble recovery (with an assist from the officials). UNC’s offense, in its last six drives, produced five touchdowns and a single missed FG on a wet field. UNC simply made more plays than UConn on both sides of the ball in a comfortable win.

Duke Foundation leader says rural NC needs more hospitals - Today in Triangle History

A daily look at some of The News & Observer’s headlines on Nov. 13 in past years. On this day in 1926 , The News & Observer published a story about the Duke Foundation chair advocating for having money collected by churches go not toward building new church buildings but building a hospital in Durham County. W.S. Rankin spoke at Trinity Methodist Church in Durham, sharing his concerns that the church was “becoming so absorbed in the formalities” that it was not creating resources to help physically ailing people. Rankin shared stories about visiting poor people on the county’s outskirts who couldn’t afford medical diagnoses and didn’t live near hospitals. He said although North Carolina churches had been building hospitals, there needed to be more in other regions. “They have built them in Winston-Salem, Charlotte, and other places where half of the beds are vacant the year round, while in other places the suffering continues without relief.” Charlotte Speedway manager considers yearly races Also in 1926, Charlotte Speedway manager C.W. Roberts announced that the facility was considering hosting events just once a year. A race held the day before had 7,500 attendees, numbers much smaller than the usual turnout. Roberts
