Shaun Draughn rooting against pal

Posted Nov 13, 2008
UNC tailback Shaun Draughn became friends with Virginia Tech's Josh Oglesby in high school, when they met during a recruiting trip. So being the competitor he is, Draughn couldn't help but give his running back buddy a verbal nudge on the phone earlier this week. "I'm looking forward to the palm trees in Tampa,'' he told Oglesby. "So I'm waiting for you all to lose." All of the Tar Heels will be cheering against Oglesby and the Hokies when Tech plays at Miami tonight. (Raleigh News & Observer)
