In the land of North Carolina, College Basketball is a religion. Duke, N. Carolina, NC State and Wake Forest (The Big Four) are all rich with tradition and hold over 10 National titles between them. I'm an NC State University grad, and my blood is red, pulling relentlessly for the Wolfpack.
but I also grew up in Rocky Mount, NC home of the legendary Phil Ford who played at Carolina in the late 70's. You have to have lived in Rocky Mount in the 70's to understand how important and inspiring Ford was to everyone in that town. He was the Michael Jordan of our childhood. Even though I ended up going to rival NC State and by blood we are supposed to hate Carolina, that doesnt count with Ford. He's a legend.
Tyler Hansborough passed Ford this week to be the all-time scoring leader in the history of UNC Basketball, quite an accomplishment, so I wanted to make this week's Retro video, the final video of the year for 2008 a throwback to the great Phil Ford.
