It's that time again ladies and gents! March Madness has officially began. This year is a little bit different than it's ever been for our household. The husband is a HUGE Tarheel fan (surprisingly so am I); as would be expected due to the fact that he is a proud alum of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I on the other hand, am a proud alum of the Florida State University. If you know anything about college sports you would know that both are schools are in the same conference, the ACC. This past weekend the ACC basketball championship was held here in Atlanta and of course we attended. As my luck would have it, FSU and UNC played each other in the championship game. Needless to say I was conflicted. Although I love my Noles, the husband has successfully influenced me to become a devoted fan of UNC basketball. The entire game I was on the edge of my seat, torn by whether I should do the FSU chop or sing "Tarheels, Tarheels..."with the rest of the crowd. At the end of the day with under a minute to go and 2 missed attempts at the 3 point line, FSU defeated UNC by 3 points. I felt the loss more than the husband, he says, "that's not the championship we want." I can't explain it but I really love my Tarheel basketball and as we get ready for the NCAA tournament, I will cheer for my Seminoles but at the end of the day I'm praying my Tarheels are the National Champions when it's all said and done.
