Chase LOVES UNC. LOOOOVEEEEESSSS Carolina. Wants our children to grow up as faithful, unwaivering carolina fans, and in carolina gear, still checks www.tarheelblue.com every day, etc. And I don't blame him. He was talented enough to play golf at one of the nation's best universities, in academics, and as everyone and their mom knows, in athletics. The University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill is one of the top apparel selling colleges in the country, not to mention all those national championships.
However, recently, as in every day (while Chase is undoubtedly watching sportscenter), Chase mentions how upset he is about UNC football, and their ineligible players. Apparently they were supposed to be unreal this year (everyone knows UNC isn't usually known for their football teams), but the NCAA decided to come investigate the football team and found some noncompliance with NCAA rules. Chase, being a devout UNC fan, would really rather the NCAA didn't investigate and just let the players play and bring glory to UNC. I think that cheaters need to punished. I, too, had to comply with the NCAA for 5 years, and I did, AND I wrote MY OWN PAPERS.
Chase was GLUED to the TV watching the UNC/LSU game. I kind of hoped carolina would get slaughtered like the announcers predicted. But they didn't! They had a great come back, and almost won the game. HAD the game in their hands! And then they dropped TWO perfect passes in the endzone from 6 yards away! Chase was so distraught! I seriously could not believe what I was hearing, he was moaning "no, no, no". I, like a good wife, thought this was HILARIOUS! It's just football (not carolina basketball, for goodness sake!) and they were supposed to lose anyway. I wish I would have acted faster, but I was able to catch some of Chase's pouting on video. Here it is! (Don't worry - I asked his permission!)
Chase, you are just too funny! The Heels almost pulled it out and that would have been a miracle - but you have to be proud - they did good. Rachael, thanks for sharing. I love your little blog. Josh showed me your wedding pictures yesterday on FB - i LOVE them. It was a beautiful wedding and your pictures are just great memories. so glad that you two are doing so well. Keep your chin up Chase! :)

Hahah... I love this bc I was doing exactly the same thing around Chesson and his parents who aren't Carolina fans! Yal's blog is adorable and I love keeping up with you!
ReplyDeleteTwo thoughts: First I'm not gonna harp on Chase because I never challenge a man's love for football (when I like them and their wife... hah). Ok that being said you know I almost kind of want to, only because stupid UNC beats us in basketball too often.....
ReplyDeleteSecond: I'm obsessed with your blog. Rach you are so stinkin funny and I love reading your quirky tales. PS: Chase who leaves FOOD on the roof of a car? I could see papers, my purse, a small dog, but FOOD and COFFEE never leave my grasp on my way out the door ;)
