Heels and Pirates to meet again

Posted Sep 4, 2007

UNC and ECU have only played 10 times in 35 years, but there is a rivalry between the two schools. Why? UNC quarterback T.J. Yates isn't sure. "I've heard they hate us for no reason," Yates said today at UNC's weekly press conference. The Heels travel to Greenville for only the second time on Saturday. UNC owns a 9-1-1 record in the truncated series. (Raleigh News & Observer)
