One of my favorite things about the fall, amongst the turning and falling of the leaves and the arrival of cooler weather, is the start of college basketball season. One thing that is almost inevitable after spending any meaningful amount of time in Chapel Hill is that you become completely aware of when basketball starts. If you hate basketball, you dread this time of the year because everyone around you is constantly talking about the local teams. If you love basketball, you love it because you are constantly talking about your local team.
Even now, from several hundred miles away, I can't help but feel excited for the start of a new basketball season. A basketball post can only be finished by saying:
Go Heels!

I don't understand how anyone can live in Chapel Hill and not love basketball. Hell, even Whitney loves basketball.
We best enjoy basketball season, because the Charlotte Observer had an article this week suggesting that Butch Davis might jump for an SEC job after the season. If that happens, Carolina is destined to remain a basketbal/baseball/women's soccer school.
I have heard both ends of the rumors about Davis hopping to Arkansas. I also hope that he hangs around because I think the program has given him just about everything he has asked for.
I am so excited because we are planning on going to go to an exhibition game! I can't wait because:
1. There is actually a social activity on my calendar for the first time in a loooong time!
2. I get to go to CH!
3. I get to see other Tar Heels!
4. I get to go into the Dean Dome!
5. I get to see Roy!
I know I live a pathetic life these days...
