Incentives: Title game, skeptics motivate Tar Heels

There's something unusual in the air at North Carolina, according to Tommy Richardson. "When you smell food, you can't help but be hungry," he said.

He wants to return to his home state as a senior to play for the championship. (Winston-Salem Journal)
