Tonight's game is more than football
Posted Sep 11, 2008
North Carolina hasn't played many Thursday football games, but kicking off at Rutgers tonight, on this particular date, adds extra significance to the event. "It's going to be special playing up in that area on 9/11,'' UNC senior linebacker Mark Paschal said. "We're so blessed to be able to play this game in front of people that want to watch it, and it's going to have a little more meaning playing in that area on that day."
