Current, former Tar Heels attend Obama rally in Chapel Hill
Posted Apr 29, 2008
An interesting story from my sister, Robin, who attended the Barack Obama rally in Chapel Hill last night:
I went to the Barack Obama rally at UNC tonight. Sam Perkins spoke and said "this is why you stay in college for four years!" then turned around and pointed at Tywon Lawson who was in the crowd behind him and said "Yeah...I'm talking to you!" I looked over and it was Ty, Deon Thompson and Danny Green sitting together. Everyone went crazy. Ty Lawson had an Obama sign that he used to cover up his face. It was really funny.
The guys seemed really excited about Obama...waving their signs around, taking pictures. So in one night I saw Sam Perkins, Ty Lawson, Danny Green and Deon Thompson. Very cool. I also saw the UNC blue team player (Jack Wooten?) who had the hilarious mustache during the tournament. Happy to report that he still has the mustache.
