North Carolina lost one of its greatest public servants today with the passing of Willis Whichard. He is the only person in the state’s history to serve in both chambers of the legislature and on both appellate courts. I am honored to have had him as a mentor and friend. #ncpol

Carolina finally gets a chance to take revenge against Villanova on Thanksgiving Day as the Tar Heels play the Wildcats for the first time since the 2016 heartbreaker. These Wildcats have a different coach, though, and are coming off a .500 season. #UNC https://t.co/RkPeqdW5MP

Billy Wagner was 5’5”, 135 pounds as a senior in high school. He got zero attention from D1 schools. He played college ball at D3 Ferrum College. He went on to become a 7x MLB All-Star with 422 career saves 🙌

Dean Smith & Roy Williams are two of the greatest to have coached college basketball. While their combined 5 National Championships helped make UNC one of the premier basketball institutions in the country, it is their work off the court and in the community that sets them apart.

Every time I pull off I-40 into Chapel Hill my brain just automatically starts reciting Charles Kuralt. “What is it that binds us to this place like no other...” It’s completely Pavlovian and also pretty great. #GDTBATH

Let's remember that #HankAaron was not only a home run king, but also spoke out against segregated Florida hotels that caused him to stay apart from his teammates during spring training as late as the early 1960s.
