All these years later, state Sen. Don Vaughan is still cheering for the Tar Heels.
As an undergrad at UNC-Chapel Hill in the early 1970s — what he calls his "tall and thin days" — the Greensboro Democrat was a cheerleader. (For the curious, he's posted a picture on his Facebook page.)
But tomorrow, he'll be following cheers from the crowd. Vaughan scored tickets to the Atlantic Coast Conference men's basketball tournament in Atlanta from a family connection. His father-in-law recently retired from the ACC.
Constituents don't need to worry, unless they're rooting for Duke.
Vaughan said he'll leave after session tonight and he'll be checking his cell phone and e-mail while he's away.
"I'm not missing any legislative business," he said in an e-mail to Dome.

Re: Vaughan still cheering Tar Heels
Should Roy sit or play Lawson...since we are on the topic?
PS the Bojangles has a special of $3.99 for a Cajun Filet Biscuit Combo.
