April 16, 2011, is a day that is etched into my memory forever. For many, it is a day they wished they could forget.
It was the largest one-day tornado break on record in NC, and it took 24 fellow North Carolinians from us.
I'll share some thoughts today.
1/ #April16Tornadoes
Agreed. Atmosphere was unreal. Most fun I’ve had there in a long time, and my 9yo was into it. I fully expected she’d want to leave in the 2nd half but she was having none of it.
According to @nsj up on the Carter-Finley rooftop, official temperature at kickoff was 37 degrees, the second #ColdestKickoff for a home game in @PackFootball history.
Since the @PackFootball-@UNCFootball rivalry moved to the end of the season in 2006, it's not surprising the game has produced three of the #ColdestKickoffs in Carter-Finley Stadium history. Tonight's game could make the top five of the Wolfpack's 15 coldest, @nsj predicts, with game-time temp projected between 32 to 38 degrees.
Dress warmly, tailgaters and football fans.

"The Play"
Joe Starkey's memorable call of Cal's improbable, unforgettable five-lateral game-winning kickoff return touchdown against Stanford in their annual "Big Game".
"THE BAND IS OUT ON THE FIELD!!!"
Periodic reminder: A “ground stop” for XYZ airport means traffic destined to fly to XYZ is being held on the ground at their points of origin, not that anything has “stopped” at XYZ.
So, a ground stop for CLT means planes at *other airports* are being held up.
Wolfpack Nation! Do not let the warmth of the afternoon sun fool you! Temperatures will CRASH at sunset, leaving us in the lower 50s at kickoff and deep into the 40s by the time the game is over. Stay warm! Bring your (red!) jackets/coats and your hot chocolate money.

Hey, @PackFootball fans! Remember how nice the weather was for last week? Yeah, today is not that. Lots of sun, heat, and humidity. Slather on the suncreen and stay hydrated — you know, with WATER!
Just took a look at the forecast for State/UVa this weekend.
We always knew it would be hard to top last week’s weather. No chance of doing that this week, I’m afraid.
Get you someone who looks at you like college football looks at Lee Corso.
Happy retirement, Coach.
(Also, what a fantastic sendoff! Props to everyone involved. This is how you do it.)
