Long Wait for Matt Baker Almost Over

Posted Sep 7, 2005

John Bunting talked Tuesday about the investment of time, energy and care his 20 seniors have invested in this season and the North Carolina program. Nobody more so than Matt Baker. Just think for a moment how many games Baker has watched intently from the sideline, knowing full well he would be doing just that - watching. Baker will get his golden opportunity this Saturday in Atlanta against Georgia Tech in UNC's 2005 opener. Ask him if he's ready and he doesn't flinch. (Tar Heel Blue)
