Extra Points: Line Of Skirmish
Posted Feb 5, 2010
It's dark and nasty along the line of scrimmage, deep in the gulch between where the pretty boys with the coiffed hair and pearly smiles throw and catch the football and sign autographs. No women or children allowed where it's muddy and hot as Hades and where football games are ultimately won or lost. Check the annuals of Tar Heel football and you'll find every glory era earmarked with a host of All-Americans along the line of skirmish.
