No. 25 Tar Heels, Wolfpack meet in in-state rivalry

Posted Nov 22, 2008
It hasn't taken long for Butch Davis to get into North Carolina's rivalry with North Carolina State. "The fans are right on top of each other," the second-year coach said. "I was mad at some people dressed in red at the (grocery store) last night." About a half-hour east on Interstate 40, N.C. State running back Andre Brown can feel it, too. "You can just see it that even after the whistle's blown how people are still driving and still trying to physically beat the guy down," Brown said. (WRAL Sports Fan)
