The best of enemies meet Saturday

Posted Nov 7, 2007

North Carolina and N.C. State are old rivals with new coaches, but the coaches are quite familiar with one another. UNC's Butch Davis and the Wolfpack's Tom O'Brien used to face one another regularly in the Big East Conference when Davis coached at Miami and O'Brien at Boston College. O'Brien may have changed colors, but he will not have changed much in the way of approach, Davis said. (Chapel Hill News)
