Oh, yeah, we hate State, too.

I just realized, I've been being terribly unfair to my fellow ACC School, North Carolina State University (NCSU, Cow College, Moo U.). In all my diatribes about that other school down the road (the one with the weinie coach who only mentions his players' injuries when he's telling you how much he doesn't talk about them), I've been ignoring State.

Carolina fans hate State, too. Nearly as much as Duke. In fact, when they're not so pitiful, we may even hate them more than Duke. Of course, they haven't been not-pitiful since the days of Valvano. Which was, oh, decades ago.

Now, I've raised my children well. But it's always nice to hear that other parents are doing a great job with their kids, too, so I'll pass on a story about my friend's son. He went to pre-school today, where they had a special, exciting guest: an airline pilot. He came to school in full uniform, including his bags, to tell the kids all about flying an airplane. In the middle of the talk, Marshall raised his hand to ask a question: "Why do you have a State sticker on your bag?" The pilot replied, "Because I went to State." Without missing a beat Marshall, in his Carolina jersey, yelled, "Boo State!!! Go Heels!!!!"

Gotta love the younger generation!

The pilot furrowed his brow and collected his thoughts about how to explain things to the young youths. "Son, your right about go heels. Without them I woudn't be able to do what I do". Marshall smiled at admission. The pilot continued on "yes Marshall, without their libral arts majors to clean the planes, their former athletes to toss the bags, and all their women graduates to serve as stewardesses and IT people, I'd be flying an empty plane, so your right Go Heels".
