Point the Passer Giveaway Contest

Being from Canada, Twitter has been a fantastic tool that allows me to feel like a part of the Carolina community. This past February, after Coach Smith passed away, I wanted a newspaper commemorating his life. Naturally, I took to Twitter to seek somebody local to North Carolina to help me out. One of my Twitter followers, @Raising_Heel, graciously offered to send me a copy of the Winston-Salem Journal. He outdid himself two weeks later when he sent me a program from Coach Smith's public memorial service.

Coach Smith is renowned for his generosity. Just today, news broke that Coach Smith left $200 to each of his former players in his will, so that they could enjoy a dinner out.


I want to pay this generosity forward. One of my hobbies is buying UNC Basketball jerseys and finding deals for them on eBay. Sometimes a jersey that may not fit me exactly right comes along, but it's such a good price that I can't pass it up. In this instance, it was an XL Authentic Ty Lawson jersey. A couple years later, I was able to find the same jersey in my proper size Large. Instead of sitting here with two of the same jersey, one of which is too big for me, I'd like to give this to a Carolina fan who will enjoy it.

All you need to do is tweet me @mfortuna45 telling me who you think UNC's leading scorer will be in tonight's game against Wisconsin, and with how many points. The one who guesses the correct player and is closest to the exact total will win the jersey.


Good luck, and go Heels!
