Georgia Tech guard Shamire Devine wakes up every morning to the same ritual – he blasts Kansas’ “Carry On My Wayward Son” on his headphones. It is a routine he began when he was a freshman to energize him to take on the day.
“My freshman year was tough,” he said.
The ritual (he also listens to “Kryptonite” by 3 Doors Down) has helped sustain him this season, as the Jackets are bound for their worst season since 1994. So has the bond linking Devine and his teammates.
“I just see the team as a family, and everything I’m doing is for them,” he said.
