Tommy Thigpen faces off with Carl Torbush

Auburn safeties coach Tommy Thigpen will be facing one of his closest mentors Saturday night in Mississippi State defensive coordinator Carl Torbush. Thigpen played at North Carolina for Torbush, who was an assistant coach and later head coach for the Tar Heels. Thigpen later served as Torbush's graduate assistant as he broke into coaching. "He's probably one of the best guys I've ever met," Thigpen said. (Mobile Press-Register)

Random Words of Kindness

"Excellent and comprehensive addition to the Heels' NetWorld Offerings. Really appreciated by one such as me who lives beyond the "info line" here in the Charleston area, we get drips and dribbles but you give us the big, complete overview. Greatly appreciated. A must-be Bookmarked! Thank you."

"The links to all the Carolina-only articles are fantastic! I live in Indiana, and unless the 'Heels are playing a Big Ten team, coverage is spotty at best. Thanks for helping me keep up with the 'Heels!"

"Love your Tar Heel Times. Living in Central PA, I don't know what I would do if I didn't have Tar Heel Times to read."
