Dante Calabria is probably my favorite Heel ever.
Wasn't Dante the hole that sent the game to OT on the missed FT, in the 94 semi's which may have kept us from winning 3 ACCT Championships in a row?
Dante Calabria is probably my favorite Heel ever.
My memory about Dante Calabria from the game SC Deac is referring to is this:
Wake had a lead, up 3 I think, with less than 3 minutes to play, Carolina with possession. Wake got a steal and a pass to Scooter Banks going for a layup, with Dante Calabria defending. As Scooter went up for the layup, Calabria grabbed the belt of Scooter’s trunks, and pulled them all the way down to his crotch. Only a long jersey tucked low saved Scooter’s modesty. Scooter missed the layup, the ref standing on the baseline, swallowed his whistle, a fast break going back the other way resulted in a Sam Perkins 3 pointer, and the rest is as they say, history. I know nothing about Calabria’s character outside watching the games...he may be a great guy…but for me I’ll always think of him as a sneaky cheat colluding with biased refs. By the way, I had taped that game, and reviewed that play over and over. It happened the way I described, but I don’t remember it ever being mentioned in a sports write up. I’d love for SC Deac, or anyone else, to confirm what I remember.
Calabria and Perkins never played together. Calabria was on the team, Perkins was not.

? I assume you mean Les and not Miles Lester. I don’t see him saying anything.
I imagine Les is on it. He checks posts over here. He's probably going to ask him to tone it down bit, at least for the time being.
Now hes putting lipstick on him and telling us otherwise. Learned it from Ron Wellman I suppose.

Calabria played for Carolina in the early 90s. In my memory he's always harmless because we won two ACC championships while he was at UNC. I do have very explicit childhood memories of him doing the Mucius dive-and-chuck-ball-at-opponents'-legs thing.
As a child, I thought his sideburns were badass because I'd never seen sideburns before
Dude had some amazing chest hair. I think when I was in middle school like half the girls I went to school with had a Dante Calabria poster in their room as well.
He’s posting maps of US led coups in South America now.
Yeah, I didn’t think we were a good team when we were down 7. Funny what a 13-0 run can do for your perspective
Of course, I try not to rage post in game threads either…
I love how Nick Nurse knows enough about our team to give Forbes advice on what we should be doing. It's even more amusing that Forbes summarily dismissed the idea.
