Description
Tales from the Tar Heel Locker Room: Second Edition is a compilation of the best notes, quotes and anecdotes from North Carolina lore. In these pages, you will meet a coach nicknamed "Bloody Neck," a player called "The Blind Bomber," and a team known as the "White Phantoms." Of course, there is also Bones McKinney, one of basketball's all-time funnymen. With Bones, the Heels laughed all the way to the 1946 NCAA finals. At the end, they cried after losing. Then there is Frank McGwire, whose "Underground Railroad" carried the Tar Heels to an undefeated season and a national title in 1957. The 2005 NCAA championship run is told! And, of course, there is Smith and the extraordinary Michael Jordan.
