Okay, so here’s the deal. I’m a huge UNC Tar Heels fan, right? I mean, I bleed Carolina blue. Every year, I look forward to the “Live Action” event to kick off the basketball season. It’s like a tradition for me and my buddies. We get together, grab some beers, and watch the team get introduced. It’s a whole thing.
But this year, I got some news that totally bummed me out. I was browsing online, trying to find the date for Live Action, and I stumbled upon this article. Turns out, the UNC men’s basketball team decided to skip the event this year. Can you believe it?
At first, I thought maybe it was because of that whole Hurricane Ian mess, ’cause I remember reading something about the event being postponed last time because of it. Or maybe it has something to do with that Blue-White scrimmage. I’m not exactly sure what that is, but I heard they’re doing it in Cherokee instead of the usual spot. Sounds kinda cool, but still, no Live Action!
It got me thinking about how the team’s been doing lately. It’s been a bit of a rollercoaster, to be honest. We missed the NCAA Tournament last year, which was a major letdown. I mean, we hadn’t missed it since 2010! Before that, we were on a roll, making it to 11 straight tournaments. We’ve got a ton of history in the tournament, too – 53 appearances and 133 wins. That’s the most all-time, you know? And let’s not forget about winning the NIT back in ’71. We were on fire!
So yeah, I was pretty bummed about the Live Action news. But hey, I’m still a die-hard fan. I started digging around for more info and found out the reasons why.
- Checked the Schedule: First, I went straight to the official UNC Athletics website. I figured they’d have the most up-to-date information on the team’s schedule. I scrolled through the calendar, hoping to see “Live Action” listed, but no luck.
- Searched for News: Then, I turned to Google. I typed in “UNC basketball Live Action 2023” and started browsing through the search results. I found a few articles from local news outlets confirming that the event was indeed canceled this year.
- Read Fan Forums: Next, I headed over to some UNC basketball fan forums. I wanted to see what other fans were saying about the cancellation and if anyone had any inside scoop. There was a lot of speculation, but nothing concrete.
- Looked at Social Media: Finally, I checked out the team’s official social media accounts. I figured if there was any official announcement or explanation, it would be there. I scrolled through their posts, but again, nothing specific about why Live Action was canceled.
My conclusion
So after all that, I was just disappointed that there is no live action event this year. I mean that is a traditional way for UNC to introduce a new season, but I am not the player or coach, I will still support my team and looking forward to their next game.
Anyway, I just wanted to share my little journey of trying to figure out what was going on with Live Action this year. It’s a bummer, but it’s not the end of the world. Go Tar Heels!
