Tarheels?

Austin and I received the bad news last night. While we were in Robeson County last week, Austin's basketball team voted on a name. If you've read the title to this post, you can see it coming. Yes, Virginia, the team name is the 'Tarheels'. When this was announced at last night's practice, both of us stood in stunned silence. I tried to console Austin on the ride home by explaining to him that this was simply an obstacle to overcome, a little adversity that life occasionally throws our way. Democracy doesn't always go your way.

Silver Lining: At least the uniform isn't powder blue.
