North Carolinians Voted For Obama So Ashley Judd Would Show Up to UNC-Kentucky

When actress Ashley Judd went stumping for Barack Obama during the Presidential campaign, she promised the students at UNC-Chapel Hill that she would show up for the Kentucky-North Carolina game if the state went for Obama.

As we all know, Obama won North Carolina's 15 electoral votes. It was the first time the state went for a Democratic Presidential candidate since 1976.

So Judd, the most famous Kentucky fan in the world, made the trek back to Chapel Hill for Tuesday's meeting between the Tar Heels and Wildcats. She sat among the UNC student section with her Kentucky shirt on and wildly supporting the underdog Wildcats.

That was a point of interest for many Kentucky fans who wondered if she would sport Carolina blue as part of her promise.
