Pirates looking to repeat history

Posted Sep 18, 2009
Skip Holtz's East Carolina squad (1-1) comes to Chapel Hill this weekend for a noon showdown Saturday with North Carolina (2-0) at Kenan Stadium. The Pirates are looking for its second straight victory over UNC after defeating the Tar Heels in Greenville back in 2007. UNC head coach Butch Davis goes way back with the Pirates---in fact all the way back to his days as an assistant coach at Miami under Jimmy Johnson. (Carolina Blue)
