Pregame at UNC

Posted Sep 1, 2006

At 1:15 p.m. on Saturday -- 2 hours and 15 minutes before North Carolina kicks off its season against Rutgers at Kenan Stadium -- UNC players and coaches will begin the "Old Well Walk," a stride through campus that allows the Tar Heels to greet fans and remember why they play. "As we exit the buses, I have to bite my lip most of the time as we walk down because this place is so special to me, and game day has always been special to me," said coach John Bunting.
