Jawad Williams: future sportswriter?
North Carolina senior Jawad Williams had just finished being interviewed by reporters Tuesday -- we should have a link up this morning to a story explaining what Jawad has done with the mask he wore much of last season -- when he decided he wanted to give sportswriting a whirl.
Jawad grabbed a notepad and took up position behind the TV cameras. When there was a lull, Jawad raised his hand and asked Marvin: "Are you suffering from a cold?"
"No," Marvin replied.
"Then why does your voice sound like that?" Jawad asked.
Laughter drowned out Marvin's reply.
So, was that a good follow-up question? Or was that just cruelty toward his 18-year-old teammate who just happens to have an unusually husky voice?
One aside for anyone out there who might be attending tonight's UNC-Georgia Tech game, or who regularly attends games at the Dean Dome: When the little kids are throwing on those oversized Brian Bersticker jerseys and the big shoes and trying to shoot layups during the timeout contests, has it occurred to you that Bersticker's getting more pub now than he did during his modest Tar Heel career?

You know I've often had the same thought while sitting on press row at Cameron, watching the Blue Devil run around the court wearing the No. 52 jersey of former Duke great Erik "The Hammer" Meek.
