Tar Heels relish 'good feeling'

Posted Oct 31, 2009
North Carolina safety Deunta Williams said he hadn't experienced a bus ride back to Chapel Hill quite like the one after the Tar Heels upset No. 14 Virginia Tech 20-17 in Blacksburg, Va., on Thursday. Even though most players were asleep when the bus pulled into campus around 3:30 a.m., there was plenty of celebrating during the first half of the trip. But it was an exciting evening for the Tar Heels, as they earned their first ACC victory of the season. (Durham Herald-Sun)
