It's that important

Posted Sep 21, 2005

Offices, classrooms, and even families are divided along a baby-blue and red line the week prior to this game. Pack fans taunt Heels fans for their elitism and 'wine and cheese' attitude. UNC fans mock State with their ridiculously unorignial chants of "If you can't go to college, go to State" or "Start your tractors." It's the land-grant institution versus the liberal arts college. It's a media-embellished battle of two former linebackers at the helm of their alma maters. (Technician)
