Hearing Camera Obscura

UNC's AD Is Ballin' Outta Control


Here's UNC athletic director Dick Baddour wearing a rather conservative piece of jewelry at a recent ACC swimming event. I don't know why he's so unwilling to risk a fashion faux pas, but the reluctance kind of works for him. I mean, look how comfortable he is on-camera with that, what is it? Oh, yes, a Mr. T-style medallion around his neck. He owns it ...

That said, he better not try that in College Park this Sunday when the Heels visit the Terps, because it's liable to get yanked off. They don't like Tobacco Road up there, regardless of fashion fowardness and four-game winning streaks.

Credits: Baddour's bling was also seen on 850 The Buzz, The Wizard of Odds and FanHouse, and  "ballin' outta control" is a term popularized by a Saved by the Blog post featuring an obscure Clinton Portis interview.

Related: This guy would have fit right in with the pimps at the DC sports blogger happy hour (photoshop work by MDG).

Update: Unsilent Majority is breaking my balls over IM for the Mr. T reference. He says it's not current enough. I say the necklace isn't current. You decide.

    You act like you didn't know that UNC is the ballinest university in the land.  We outfit all the gangs, people kill for Jordan shoes and we live to smack up slick talkin' Jersey white boys [aka Duke].  

    And with all the jewelery UNC's been racking up this year.....ya gotta bling!
