Kari Barlow, Tar Heels fan

Daily News Business Editor Kari Barlow is a generally quiet, low-key person. Shy even. But not when she's watching college basketball.

Kari is a loyal graduate of the University of North Carolina. On Sunday, she was in her apartment by herself, watching her beloved Tar Heels go up against those plucky Georgetown Hoyas. At stake was a trip to the final four. It was a close game, tied at regulation, and then the Hoyas began....to....pull...away!

Kari admits to yelling at the television. She admits to getting a little loud. She admits to becoming emotional. She admits that the neighbors in her complex probably heard her.

A few after game's end, there was a loud knock at Kari's door. She opened it, and two Okaloosa County deputies met her.

"Are you all right?" they inquired. Apparently neighbors had called law enforcement, concerned that someone was attacking someone in Kari's apartment. Kari, a little sheepishly, said yes, she was just fine.

These things happen. Kari promises to be quiet from now on. At least until NCAA tournament time next year.

Go Kari! Go Tar Heels!
