Here I was all ready to talk smack about the Duke-Carolina match-up tomorrow night when word comes that some madman has run down pedestrians on campus at Chapel Hill. The multiple injuries do seem to be minor, which is very good news. The details:

Authorities say 23-year-old Mohammed Reza Taheriazar drove a silver Jeep Grand Cherokee into The Pit at the UNC-Chapel Hill campus around noon Friday, injuring five students and a visiting scholar.

Police said they would charge Taheriazar, who was a UNC student as recently as Fall 2005, with multiple counts of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill. Authorities are not releasing a motive, but they did say the incident was intentional.

Very disturbing stuff and the background story keeps evolving. This one will take some time to sort out.

Meanwhile, back to smack. UNC 87, dook 81.
