My favorite college basketball team behind OU is North Carolina. I've had several people ask me how that came to pass and I explain that I was a Michael Jordan fan growing up and his Alma mater is UNC. So I began to follow the team in the early 90's and have been a fan ever since. When many of my peers were intrigued by the talented teams at UNLV (University of Nevada Las Vegas) or the Fab 5 at the University of Michigan, I became a fan of a program with a long history of tradition. Janna and I had the opportunity last summer to go to the UNC campus, but unfortunately the Dean Smith Center was closed because it was a Sunday. We didn't get to go inside, but it was cool to look in and see the court, the sea of Carolina blue chairs that surrounded the court and the multiple championship banners hanging from the rafters. Yesterday UNC beat their in state rivals Duke 79-71 to capture the regular season ACC championship. Put another banner up for the Tarheels!
