Rivalries make final games fun to watch

Posted Nov 3, 2006

We can only imagine the drama that will unfold when N.C. State visits UNC on Nov. 18. The contest will be John Bunting's last stand against the Wolfpack. No matter what the Tar Heels' record is going into that game, if Bunting comes away with a win, he'll have to see a chiropractor for all the pats on the back he'll get. In fact, if Bunting only coached against the Wolfpack, he'd have his name on a building in Chapel Hill and not a "For Sale" sign outside of his home. (Rocky Mount Telegram)
