Basketball Religion

Not sure what kind of fan I truly am if I'm launching a blog during the first match-up between Carolina and Dook this season, but at least it's providing good fodder for my inaugural post. (Welcome to my blog, by the way...) Due to my geographic proximity to the Triangle, ESPN's coverage has been blacked out in favor of local coverage. While this does spare me from Dick Vitale and his comeback "babies", I am instead treated to the noxious musings of Billy Packer - UGH. It frustrates me that I only have one cable option for watching the game. Yes, I realize that local broadcasters should have their fair shot, but when that means that I am forced from the lesser evil of Dick Vitale to the pure agony of Billy Packer, I think it's time to adopt a habit of my father's: mute the TV and pick up Woody on the radio. Sure, he's just as biased as the other two, but at least Woody's bias is in favor of the Heels. I'll never claim to be partisan when it comes to college sports, although I have embraced cheering for a second ACC school as it is MPOW. Nevertheless, my true allegiance will always lie in Blue Heaven - GO HEELS!
