Since I was 10 years old and N.C. State won the national title in basketball with David Thompson and Co., I have been a Wolfpacker. I graduated in 1987 from N.C. State, and my relationships, both professional and personal, have always leaned towards Wolfpack alumni.The color red brings out the passion in me, and I have always thought the color light blue was weak and feminine. It belongs in a baby's room, not in sports. Red is passion, red is love, red is blood. Why do you think a matador waves red at a bull? It instinctively stirs passion.My friendships with Carolina alums or fans have always been distant. I once had a girlfriend who was a huge Carolina fan. We fought like cats and dogs about sports. It was never going to work long term.I have relatives who are UNC alums, and our relationships have dissolved over the years. Even the owner of my company is a Wolfpack supporter, and I have never worked for a UNC alum. I am that passionate. Go Pack!--Michael Knight, Raleigh (shown in the photo above)
