Two pieces of business up front before we take in four of the 16 Women’s games today.
#1 – Yes, I will switch over to a powder blue shirt 👕 for the two games over at UNC. I gotta return the level of respect 🙏 that Travis Osborne showed when he used our tickets 🎟 to attend the UNC at Duke University last month.
#2 – While we want Kira Lawson and our Lady Blue Devils to defeat the Cougars of the College of Charleston, our youngest of three Sons attended the School 🏫 down on The Battery back in the day! No cheering for a wipe out here in the first of four.
Let’s watch some Women’s College Basketball 🏀 !!!!!!
