ECU close to home for some Tar Heels

Posted Sep 29, 2011
A strange dynamic in the UNC-ECU football series surfaced shortly before the Tar Heels' practice session Wednesday afternoon. When discussing the Tar Heels' trip to Greenville for Saturday night's game against the Pirates, North Carolina linebacker Kevin Reddick and wide receiver Erik Highsmith both referred to it as a "home game." Neither one has ever played a game in Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium. (Charlotte Observer)
