Basketball season begins
Ok, so I've been on a blogging drought lately. I've been busy and sick.
Anyway, with the sweet, sweet superbowl victory of my beloved Steelers, I can finally turn my full attention to basketball. Not that we haven't been paying attention--Brooklynne has already physically injured herself during Ty Lawson's buzzer-beater at FSU--it's just that I can't seem to get fully geared up for basketball while my football teams are still occupying half my thoughts.
All of that is a thing of the past, now, and just in time because I've only got two more warm up games before the BIG ONE. You know what I mean.
When I started dating Brooklynne I was worried that she wouldn't get it. Afterall, that was in the dark heart of the Doherty era, when we missed the postseason for the first time in a generation, and to her, we were just another team.
Thank goodness that changed. Now she has experienced a national championship, got to see a classic ACC game from a seat near the students in the lower level of the Dean Dome (last year's triple-overtime Clemson win), and has experienced all the highs and lows of the Duke-UNC rivalry--wins and losses, perhaps the greatest finish in the series (March 2005), and the intense emotions of the infamous bloody nose game (where Halleigh got to watch her first Duke game in person too).
That's why I'm excited to take Brooklynne to the advance screening of the upcoming HBO documentary of the Duke-UNC rivalry, playing this weekend to an invitation-only crowd at the Carolina Theater in Durham. The actual airtime is scheduled for February 23, so mark your calendar or set your Tevo. Here's the trailer:

My favorote line from the trailer is the lady saying, "I would root for the minions of hell before I rooted for Carolina..." Lady, I don't know if you missed the memo, but YOU root for a team called the blue DEVILS!!!!
Have either of you guys read "To Hate Like This Is To Be Happy Forever"? It is so good! If you want, I'll send it to you!
Miles actually got that for his birthday last year, but has yet to read it. I want to read it, but always forget that we have it. Maybe I should put it in the stack of books that are waiting to be read... thanks for the recomendation. It always helps when yu know someone who has read it (To Hate like this is to be Happy Forever) and liked it.
Miles wishes that he had a good book that wasn't scholarly, so maybe this will spur him on to read it too! hint. hint.
If you want a book that is good w/o being scholarly, this is definitely for you. You will laugh, you might cry, and you will definitely be proud to be a Tar Heel! :)
And I meant to say - this makes me wish we had HBO!
