Butch Davis eager for more Thursday home games

Posted Oct 28, 2009
Last week's [Thursday night football] game took place while students were on break, so students didn't miss classes and traffic problems were reduced. Butch Davis said logistically the event went very well thanks to cooperation between campus, city and hospital officials. "The feedback was overwhelmingly positive, except for the outcome of the game," Davis said Wednesday during the ACC coaches' teleconference. (Raleigh News & Observer)
