I have a daughter at NCSU & one who just graduated at Peace, so I'm a packbacker, pacer & seahawk (me @ Wilmington) supporter - but in our beloved basketball, pull for UNC (brother) & Duke above all others. Yes I'm conflicted
There's a thread in foo about avitars BTW. Obviously by the many Bono threads a lot of folks here stay in their section of choice.
My last name is Deal, born on the 4th, and 1st real bike was a Fuji. Also works this way: I really like Fuji's and am always looking for a good deal on a Fuji.
On the avitar, my favorite band is Metric, and it has cycling meaning too, so it also works on 2 levels.
