Gary Hahn (ok I have a little biased here). Unlike Woody and others I don’t get the feeling that he is openly pulling for the Wolfpack. Woody makes you sick with the “oh that should have been a foul” calls every time the opponent scores. I have enjoyed listening to Woody after the last four State – UNC football games.
Not so sure about sportswriter but there is no way in the world that Ed Hardin should be nominated for ANY award except for worst in his field. That guy is the most negative, pompus, UNC biased writer this side of Woody Durham’s broadcast booth. I quite taking the paper just so I would no longer have to see his smirking picture. He is probably a wonderful person but I don’t enjoy his sports writing.
I guess I would vote for Lennox Rawlings.
All my no so humble opinion…maybe I’m wrong…nahhhhh!!
Gary Hahn or David Jackson—-Cannot go wrong either way.
David Jackson and Ed Hardin in keeping it in the county and I think Ed used to be up in Winston at the Journal and that was back in the day……
