Thanks to the wonders of modern technology, it's pretty easy to be a touring musician who wants to keep up with their favorite sports. Scores, highlights, social media and the ability to watch a game live is all right there on your phone. That wasn't the case in 1989, when Mac McCaughan cofounded the band Superchunk and independent music label Merge Records. While McCaughan and his bandmates were helping shape a burgeoning scene in Chapel Hill and playing gigs at the Cat's Cradle in Carrboro, there was incredible college basketball being played just down the way. McCaughan joined 99.9FM The Fan's Joe Ovies to discuss how he became a Duke fan, kept up with Triangle sports while touring, and how music culture intertwines with sports culture.
