Thanks again

Posted on May 14, 2009 by Staff

Many of us are still a little exhausted by basketball season but certainly not tired enough for one more thing to cheer about, especially if it’s the team’s trip to the White House for a visit with the First Fan.

President Obama won more than a few nods of approval and probably a good number of votes in Carolina country after he donned some sweats and worked out with the Tar Heels during last year’s primary. He also proved an astute observer of the game by picking the Heels to go all the way. And the fact that he got a dig in at Duke by doing so was icing on the cake.

So it was not the usual champs-at-the-White-House visit when the first president in our history with a decent jump shot paid homage to the Heels. Looked like a good bit of fun from our vantage and definitely something to cheer about.

We’ll start.

Tar! . . .
