Leaving Home: UNC prepares for trip to ECU

Posted Sep 4, 2007

UNC will step outside Kenan Stadium this week for an early exposure to foreign turf, in-state rivalries and hostile crowd conditions. The trip will be relatively short, only a little more than 100 miles by bus to Greenville for a game against East Carolina. T.J. Yates and other team members are expecting a less-than-friendly welcome in Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium from spectators who consider them the perfect example of ACC arrogance. (Winston-Salem Journal)
