T.J. Yates itching to get back on field

Posted Oct 25, 2008

Yates has reached after four weeks of watching the Tar Heels from the sideline while a broken bone in his left ankle heals. "I get real nervous when I watch the game, opposed to when I'm playing." Fortunately for Yates, his freaking-out-on-the-sideline days may be nearing an end. (Durham Herald-Sun)
