Your blog: Marching with the Heels

Lee Conner of Burlington, a Tar Heel fan since the age of 7, says he has followed the Heels "to the Final Four (Indianapolis in 2000), numerous other NCAA games (Birmingham in '95, Winston-Salem in '97, Birmingham in '00, New Orleans in '01, Winston-Salem in '07) and to eight ACC tournaments." This time, he's devoting a blog on share.triangle.com to the Tar Heels' quest for another national championship. Here's an excerpt from his first blog.

In the next few weeks, this blog aspires to be a place where you can both receive and share information about our beloved UNC Tar Heels as they march towards the Final Four in San Antonio and (hopefully) another national championship.

If past tournaments are any guide, there will be plenty of drama to discuss after the games and plenty of strategy to debate before the next game.

While this blog will certainly do all that, you should come here expecting to read discussions about things including the atmosphere in the RBC Center, why the media continue to discuss Ty Lawson's ankle while almost completely ignoring Deon Thompson's knee, and whether it's OK that you secretly hope your daughter will marry Tyler Hansbrough.

Whether you want to discuss why Coach [Roy] Williams hates to play zone defense, or whether you want to share where you go and what you do when the game is on the line and [UNC broadcaster] Woody [Durham] tells those of us faithful with superstitions to follow them (My bulldog, Wally, really has changed the karma more than once by donning his #50 jersey), it's all open for discussion.

If March Madness is really just a particularly strong outbreak of Carolina Fever for you, this is a blog you should bookmark and keep checking as the Heels shoot for the Alamo. Go Heels!
