This one brings back great memories.
mick was a Michigan State fan. Every season, he would email me early on, telling me what Sparty had and asking me about the Heels. He always treaded Carolina-Michigan State games because they were his two favorite teams. He always pulled for the Spartans but he was also a closet Tar Heel fan.
They met many times over the past few years, twice in the Final Four in '05 and '09 and several times in the ACC-Big Ten challenge. He would always email me before/after the game. I guess I've now become a closet Spartan.
Whether they next meet on an aircraft carrier, in the Final Four, or on the moon, I bet mick will be watching.
