Confessions of a Carolina Girl...

Ever wonder why folks get so passionate about their alma mater? Heather Brown gives us 10 reasons she bleeds Carolina blue.

"2. This one is an easy one…but every Carolina blue blood has at least one child or animal named for something Carolina-related. Speaking of animals, there is this one rat that lives in Durham that all Carolina blue-blooded alumni and fans alike detest. Is it his mouth? Or lack of couth after losing that leads him to not being gracious enough to properly shake the hands of his opponents? Or his enduring hugs to Wojo, Danny Ferry, Laettner or Bobby Hurley? Or let us not forget his defiant defence of the “tripper” Grayson Allen? I am not for sure…but I can tell you “dadgummit” all of us love to hate K-Rat."
