Thanks to the H1N1 virus, commonly referred to as swine flu, UNC defensive back Deunta Williams has added a piece to his must-have-at-all-times list of accessories. “Here at Carolina, everybody is so friendly,” Williams said. “Everybody wants to shake your hand or high-5 you. So, we carry around a bottle of hand sanitizer.” Like several college football teams, UNC hasn’t been immune to feeling the effects of the virus. (Burlington Times News)
