Long wait almost over

Posted Apr 28, 2007

Early this morning, UNC wide receiver Jesse Holley plans to hand his cell phone to his brother, drive with a few family members to the Great Adventure theme park and do whatever he can to keep his mind off the NFL draft. "Past couple of years, I'd sit in front of the TV all weekend watching it,'' said Holley. "But in past years, I didn't have to sit there hour after hour, pulling my hair out waiting to see when my name would be called." (Raleigh News & Observer)
