Friday Practice Notes

Posted Aug 19, 2006

There was a nice moment at the end of a team situational period when Tavares Brown tipped a pass and then sprawled for an interception. On the first day of practice, freshmen have their names written on a strip of tape that is placed on their helmet. After Brown bounced off the ground with the ball, John Bunting, Ken Browning, and Marvin Sanders met him on the sideline and Bunting ripped the strip of tape off Brown's helmet. "I know who you are, Tavares Brown!" he boomed. "You don't need this tape." (Tar Heel Blue)
