UNC hopes to build on buzz

Posted Aug 6, 2008

The UNC football team began practice in summer camp on Friday. On Tuesday, the Tar Heels put on pads for the first time. So, the whole process of getting ready for the opening game on Aug. 30 against McNeese State is just getting started. Plenty of work remains ahead, areas to shore up and rough edges to smooth. But coach Butch Davis already said that he is pleased with how this team entered camp, his second at Carolina. (Chapel Hill News)
