Motivation not needed

Posted Sep 24, 2005

To Manny Lawson, the motivation for today's game against North Carolina is easy to spot. The Tar Heels will be covered in it. “Powder blue, that should be motivation enough,” Lawson said. Like bulls with a red sheet, the feeling is the same from the UNC side. The Tar Heels and Wolfpack will meet for the 95th time at noon today at Carter-Finley Stadium. There have undoubtedly been more meaningful games between the two rivals, but it again seems like a must-win for both sides. (Rocky Mount Telegram)
