Poor Jeff, we just keep dragging him to more sporting events where UNC kicks VT’s butt. The times VT wins (and they definitely do – outside of last year, they’ve whipped us in fball most of the time) we just seem to be elsewhere. Hayley was a ballgirl for UNC women’s lacrosse last week and of course UNC won 19-3.

After four years of doing UNC women’s games, Hayley was selected to do some games at the ACC Women’s basketball tournament in Greensboro. Hayley was assigned to two games on Friday night and Jeff’s folks came down from Blacksburg and my Dad who lives in Gboro came as well.
She lucked out and was paired with a nice girl about the same age. It was mascot night so all the team’s mascots were there which was really funny. Buzz, the GT mascot, just randomly ran up to Hayley, picked her up and swing her around. They even had a little competition for the ballkid who did the most work which you know ended up being Hayley who views herself as a pro at this. It was a really neat experience – the ACC went all out to make the kids feel really part of the event from the clothes to going in the team entrances, etc. I can’t say enough about Raycom and the ACC folks involved in it.

Hayley is learning to rollerblade. The process just cracked me up so of course I had to snap a few photos and videos with the iphone while we were outside. At this stage, she reminds me of the colts at the stable, just all long skinny legs. Almost 12 and she’s barely 64 pounds.
I love this video clip – she’s lucky to have a good dad and uncle to help:

Hayley was one of the ballkids for the UNC women’s game for the grand reopening of Carmichael after their year long extensive renovation! The old gal looks fantastic after all the work they did on her and Carolina crushed Kennesaw State.

I truly love my job at IC – I work with awesome people, doing stuff I love doing, covering the team that I have loved all my life. Oh and I do it from home.
Some days I’m struck by the gift of doing something for a long time – you get to look back at things. Today I finished my 8th national football signing day graphic:
I’m slowly getting though my photo backlog! These are photos and videos that Hayley took at the UNC Alumni Basketball game in September at UNC. We had great seats and had so much fun – seeing all the active pros was awesome but Dean and Michael Jordan just took it over the top. The unveiling of the 2009 NCAA Title banner and the addition of Jordan’s name to the Naismith Hall of Fame banner were really just amazing.

I have lots of photos to post but I had to post this hysterical little animation short we found on youtube. UNC beat Duke in football last night and Hansborough had his NBA debut on Friday night so it is semi-relevant, right?
Make sure you watch until the VERY end – don’t stop when you see the black screen and animator’s name.
