Motivation, Support, Accountability

Carolina is poised to win their 2nd NCAA championship in 5 years. We are all hoping they will and will sure be watching tonight. We all watch a big game in our own way. Some will be on Franklin St. in big groups hoping for the win so they can be in a group of thousands jumping bonfires in the street. Some will be at home watching with our very best fellow Carolina fans. Others like mysef can only watch a big game at home on the couch, maybe with my dog Misha if he behaves and with my wife Aura whether she behaves or not. Oh yeah the ones with the means and desire will be in Detroit ready to storm the court.

We all are motivated to watch this game we wouldn't miss it for anything, we all have an abundance of support from Carolina nation and we will all be held accountable for watching this game as well by everyone we have ever known that knows we bleed Carolina blue. We all make time for this game it is #1 priority and outside of a VERY CLOSE family member dying we will all be in front of the TV as we have been all year.

Who has spent as much time concentrating on their fitness and health as they have on Carolina over the last year. Who has spent more money on their fitness and health as they have buying stuff to enhance their Carolina experience, the new LCD TV to better view the game, the tabs at the bar buying drinks and nachos for all, the tickets,the new sweats, hats and tees.

Why is it that we can gain so much from anothers victory. The another being the one who has motivated themselves, supported themselves and held themselves accountable. Why do we live vicariously through someone else's physical accomplishments that we have no control over, when we can live through our own physical accomplishments daily that we have complete control over.

If we all spent as much time as we have on ourselves as we have UNC basketball we would all be living better lives. So why can't we, why can't you, why don't you ?
