There are special Carolina-isms that only a Tar Heel would understand: #GDTBATH, Hark the Sound, and … “The ceiling is the roof.” We love an epic throwback #UNCAlumni moment, and one of our favorites is the iconic Michael Jordan ’86 line in 2017. Brew up your very own morning of champions with this GAA member-exclusive mug. Mug ($20) is 11 oz. and has a matte finish. Become a GAA member to shop the Alumni Store. |
