But wait, is this an approved "new" tradition?

They should teach the ball to sing Sweet Caroline.

Next year UNC will talk about the ball of tape tradition they started.

That song will never be the same to me after Neil Diamond explained who it was written for.

It's all fun and games until they announce Freddie and Frieda are being replaced.

I've only been to a couple home games this year, So if this has been done already...forgive me. But I think we need to get someone to dress up like Space ghost decked out in BG trim, and run around the sidelines. Like the one pictured above.

As for the tape ball, i think that's awsome. I know other teams have done tapeballs, but this is the first one i've seen all painted up and looking perty! That's a great article.

Shouldn't you have photoshopped Harvey Birdman???

I'm touched by the whole thing. I think it's amazing.

It seems like the team is leaning toward keeping the ball going. I'm wondering if they should start a new one immediately after the bowl game, though.

In any case, it's really cool.
