TO THE EDITOR:

UNC students should count themselves lucky that they receive a single ticket within stone-throwing distance from the basketball court.

During my years at UNC or, as we called it, the University of Diggity Carolina (“north” was still a dirty word back then), the 107 suspender-clad residents of East building passed around a single radio to hear Abbott “Crispy” McSwainington call the games. You were fortunate to hear a continuous 30 seconds of gameplay.

Kids these days have no appreciation for the rules, and students are getting what they deserve for listening to their jazz music and having relations before being married for at least 15 years.

I was on what you (obviously jokingly) refer to as the “University campus” the other day, and I swear you couldn’t throw a hoop that one uses a stick to push without hitting a girl wearing pants! I became so aroused that I immediately came home and yelled at my wife for making corn on the cob again. Seriously? Corn on the cob? I’m 90 years old! I can’t eat that.
