Death, taxes and Clemson cannot win in Chapel Hill

[lowell]

Every streak sooner or later ends. Just hope it is not tonight.
Parlaying UNC -265 and teasing UNC -1 with several open plays.
If it looks like history is being made at halftime I will hedge.
Clemson has never won in Chapel Hill. UNC barely beat Wake at home and got lucky to beat a depleted Irish team. May be very close tonight but do not see Tigers breaking the streak.

Nice pick, guys. And at a good number, too. Congrats!
I still think the 0-59 is the most incredible streak in sports. Think about it. Clemson has had some decent teams. And UNC has had a few "non-UNC type teams" over the years. BY ACCIDENT, you have to figure that Clemson would have had to win there. All it takes is a bad shooting night by UNC or a hot shooting night by Clemson, or foul trouble, or an injury...but no.
A buddy of mine back in the early 90's (pre-internet days) who was a UNC fan told me about the streak. Back then it was like 37-0, and I remember being blown away by that number! But now, FIFTY-NINE!
And it's not like Clemson is a Howard or a Canisius. Amazing.
Imagine taking UNC on the ML every time they played? 59-0!

Big UNC fan told about his being at the game when Tree Rollins missed 2 free throws
at the end the would have beaten UNC.
1/9/75. UNC with team of Phil Ford, Walter Davis,John Kuester Mitch Kupchak and Tommy Laguarde wins 74-72.
In 2003 UNC again wins by 2 68-66 when Raymond Felton makes 2 free throws at the end.

wow..that is some streak..as a HS coach I was also on the end of 2 big streaks...in my 17 years coaching Varsity their are 2 schools in my league conference that I was 34-0..Was 17-0 on each team ..we played them home-away every year...but in those 34 wins at least 7-8 games came down to the last play...I always ask myself...was it my coaching or my patron saint st Anthony helping me...I envision myself hopefully getting to the gates of heaven someday with St Peter standing there... he is going to allow me in,with a wink because I have won on St Peter ats many times...but in the corner inside the gate I imagine to see St Anthony also winking saying" do you really think all those last second shots or plays were from your coaching".... darn it...and I thought it was me...
Thanks for sharing the streak...never realized it was that long...maybe the basketball coach of Clemson should become a catholic and get some help from above ..think the football coach at Clemson is catholic ....
