But shortly after 4 p.m. on Sunday, December 7, 2008, even I felt goose bumps in a way that I have rarely ever experienced. The final of the 2008 Women's College Cup had just concluded and Coach Anson Dorrance's Tar Heels had won their 19th NCAA title in the past 27 seasons. Ho hum you think. Hardly. (Tar Heel Blue)
