Spring game hits big time

Posted Apr 10, 2010
For the past two years UNC's Kendric Burney said the Tar Heels' annual spring game has felt more like another practice. This year, however, there is an excitement around today's Blue-White game at Kenan Stadium (3 p.m., ESPN), which has surprised even the rising senior. The game is going to be on national television for the first time in school history as the Tar Heels are expected to be ranked in the preseason top 25 in the fall. (Durham Herald-Sun)
