What can I say….I’ve passed on my passion for the Tar Heels to the entire family. Last night we watched the game with everyone in the room decked out in their Carolina Blue. Today we made one final shout out to our boys in Blue. March Madness is here and we’re all got the fever! httpvhd://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFGF_-HQOPs
I remember it like it was yesterday. “The Boy” had just got home from school and we were huddled in front of the MacBook in my office.

For the better part of 20 something years, I have lived and breathed with the North Carolina Tar Heels. Tonight “the boy” and I watched as another snapshot went into my mental scrapbook of why we love being Tar Heel fans.

For all of you that have ever coached or have kids in sports, enjoy this. This could apply to employees and direct reports too. The last line cracks me up every time. httpvhd://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iymXdRQDISg
*Note – If you’re a regular reader, you will most likely pass right by this post as it’s not my “normal stuff”.

My unsettling amount of Duke fan friends will take great delight in this post. One other person might find it while [...]
