UNC's Rome is burning

Posted Jul 14, 2009
North Carolina senior Bobby Rome remembered his first spring game as a UNC fullback in 2007 when he "missed a block really, really bad." Rome, who came to UNC as a quarterback, made his way to the sideline where he caught the wrath of coach Butch Davis -- an imposing figure even when he's smiling. "Coach Davis is screaming at me, 'Be a man, son! Be a man!'" Rome said. The message still resonates with him. (ESPN.com)
