    He is amphibious even in death.

    Definitely sad news.

    He was incredibly talented and a fun college player to watch…Part of basketball teams that just overflowed with personality.

    Rest in peace original Shack.

    So maybe some of the old timers remember this….But there were a few games where Shackleford’s and Chucky’s jerseys looked like dresses.

    They asked Coach V about this and he said that they never tucked their shirts in and it annoyed him. So V figured he would get the largest one they had and then they’d tuck it in…But like the prankster / carefree guys they were – they didn’t keep em tucked in and it looked pretty hilarious.

    FWIW Durham has changed a lot and for the better in the last few years, esp. downtown and west a few miles…

    Dying anywhere at age 50 sucks. Period.

    Durham is Durham is Durham, I don’t give a damn how many hipster joints that serve a godless brunch on Sunday pop up.

    You can’t polish a turd.

    The Michael Bolton clone cracks [un]wise at the expense of a deceased Wolfpacker, just so he can hear himself laugh.

    I enjoyed watching Shack play. RIP.

    How’s that old saying go – “Douchebags gonna douche”.

    It’s an urban expression. May have originated in Durham.

    I was in school when he played and went to every game I could. His laugh and good humor were infectious, and he was more of a quiet leader, pushing the younger guys, than he was ever given credit. V joked and “exaggerated” about them all, but Shack was the one who could never shed the image. He had a tough life, made some bad choices, and died much too young.

    RIP.
