A springtime splash of big time for UNC

Posted Apr 12, 2010
Fueled by optimism over next season and a defense full of players many expected to be preparing for the NFL right now, a somewhat unexpected outpouring of fans arrived in Kenan Stadium to see UNC's spring game, all of them packed into the north stands or west end zone to be in full view of ESPN's cameras. It was a strong crowd on a beautiful, sunny afternoon, but it looked even better on TV. (Raleigh News & Observer)
