StateFansNation has a fan in Bob Lee Swagger, local UNC-Chapel Hill sports fan, “loud-mouth conservative,” and scourge of “message board loons,” “nutty faculty squirrels” and inept, kneejerk “politically correct” chancellors with bald heads who play organ.
In his 2006 “close-out special” column — just prior to ripping UNC-CH figurehead admin John “The Voice of the Poor … Till After the Primaries” Edwards and Durham D.A. Mike “The Voice of the Poor … with Multiple Sex Partners for Money” Nifong — Swagger tells what sports sites on the ‘net he likes:
Several readers have asked which websites DO I visit regularly AND RECOMMEND. I’m glad to oblige. Sites I check daily are StateFansNation .. RedAndWhiteFromNCState … TarHeelTimes. I know those sites owners and I respect their objectives. James @ TarHeelTimes provides a TERRIFIC clipping service of any articles on Carolina teams and athletes. EVERY Tar Heel should have TarHeelTimes.com bookmarked. … SFN has a great format that does not totally exclude the “short bus crowd†but greatly minimizes their influence. What I really like is that SFN and RWFNCS are both pro-Wolfpack sites and NOT anti-Carolina sites. I’m sure PackPride still exists but I haven’t visited that “biker bar†in over three years.
Thanks, bud.
