Lucas: First Day

Tuesday was about nostalgia. Today is about winning.

The most fun memory brought back by Mack Brown's (re)introductory press conference on Tuesday afternoon at Kenan Stadium was his weekly radio show.

When Brown was the head coach of the Tar Heels from 1988-97, those shows were appointment listening. For one hour each week, Brown and Woody Durham would take calls. Actually, Durham would field the calls. Brown would make new best friends.

My father and I would always find a reason to be in the car during those shows. We'd drive around the Triangle, listening to the Tar Heel Sports Network on his car radio.
