Having Google Fiber in the Triangle would be huge. At a minimum, it would put a lot more pressure on Time Warner Cable1 to upgrade their speeds, lower prices, etc..

P.J. has handled this whole situation like a pro.1 It is really too bad the NCAA came down on him so hard. I hope he ends up having a great pro career.

→ Note to North Carolina Tar Heels: Change student seating
C.L. Brown explains why Carolina should put students around the court:
While Carolina is contemplating renovations as the arena nears its 30th year of existence, it should look into making the students a permanent fixture in the lower tier, beyond just the risers behind the home basket.
There are roughly 14 mobile rows of seats that pull out from the base of the stands. Most, if not all, of that complete tier should be reserved for students – including the pep band – on all sides of the court.
The Heels don’t enjoy the home-court advantage it had while playing in Carmichael Auditorium, where they only lost 20 games from its December 1965 opening until moving to the Smith Center in January 1986.
Carolina already has lost three home games (Belmont, Texas, Miami) this season and has only gone unbeaten at home four times in 28 years. The Tar Heels have lost 62 games in 29 seasons playing in the Smith Center.
It’s time North Carolina made the Smith Center a tough trip for opponents without poor weather being a factor.
I completely agree. Carolina’s seating for students is ridiculous.

I used to love when Pixar would do these, so I am especially happy to see one from the Lego Movie.
Also, if you have not seen The Lego Movie yet, stop what you are doing and go see it. It is fantastic.

Now, instead of trying to line up at 10:30am for the 11:00m am entry, you can just go there directly at rope drop. Unfortunately, if you want to meet Anna and Elsa without having to wait 2 hours, you should plan on making them your first stop.
