Lucas: The First Day

Posted Aug 25, 2011
Very few Tar Heel fans can claim fond memories of Florida State's 37-0 whitewashing of Carolina on August 30, 2003. For most of us, that's the game when FSU's Greg Jones flattened Dexter Reid. See, not exactly a happy image, is it? I loved that game. In fact, I have a picture of it right here on my desk. Two very happy people are holding one very tiny baby. That game was my daughter McKay's very first football game. (Tar Heel Blue)
