DTH at a Glance: The Carrboro Mafia

Good morning! We have T-minus 36 hours until the dook game. Deep breaths, and let's get take two over with.

Here's the follow-up to a classic column, "Why I still hate Duke." Applicable, as always.

Here's what people are willing to do to get UNC-Duke tickets. I'm not certain whether it's NSFW, honestly.

Here's what you can expect from the No. 5 Tar Heels, No. 17 Duke and unranked me tomorrow night. The answer for me is a rainbow UNC shirt and Carolina Blue lipstick. "Subtle" doesn't feel like the move for my senior (read: only) basketball game.

QUICK HITS

  • If you're looking for your daily dose of drama, Swerve is re-hashing that one time (last Wednesday) Louisville coach Rick Pitino almost got in a physical fight with a UNC fan.
  • Chapel Hill police apparently have a fire Twitter. We sat down with Capt. Joshua Mecimore, who runs the account, to get his take on internet humor.
  • UNC women's basketball took an L to Syracuse last night in an 83-64 ACC Tournament loss. That was fun while it lasted.

IN DAILY CRIME

Someone was trespassed from the Rite Aid pharmacy after shoplifting a bottle of wine. Another person also committed larceny, stealing two screws, valued at 20 cents total, from a screen door on Craig Street.

IN THE CARRBORO MAFIA

Meet the mafia/unrivaled Twitter clique that is local government in Carrboro. They have entertaining social media presences. They're fun to drink wine and gossip with at Weaver Street… I mean, allegedly. Follow them all on Twitter.

IN CAMPUS NEWS

UNC-Wilmington criminology professor and conservative political columnist Mike Adams will be visiting campus on Monday. He's widely known as a free-speech advocate by conservatives and "that guy who called a UNC-W student a 'queer Muslim social justice warrior' in an article" by the left.

IN KVETCHES

To paraphrase one of our submissions today: Springtime is here, and so are y'all's thirsty as heck kvetches. Shoutout to the person in a long-distance relationship who's falling in love with strangers and the person begging white boys to put their shirts back on.
