'Mouth of the South' was a memorable character in life

He was Bill Currie. He was something else. He was the “Mouth of the South,” the radio voice of University of North Carolina basketball and football from 1962 to 1971, and one of the more colorful characters of all time. “I wish to God I had never left,” he told me in 1990 about leaving UNC to become a color commentator with the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Pittsburgh Steelers. “I had the best job in the world." (Fayetteville Observer)

  • Excellent and comprehensive addition to the Heels' NetWorld Offerings. Really appreciated by one such as me who lives beyond the "info line" here in the Charleston area, we get drips and dribbles but you give us the big, complete overview. Greatly appreciated. A must-be Bookmarked! Thank you.

  • The accumulation of stories involving the Heels is better than getting a Google alert. I check the site every day.

  • It's the BEST, most comprehensive place to gather info about the Tar Heels. I love it!!
