The art of the autograph

Posted Aug 12, 2006

Tar Heels running back Ronnie McGill used to sign his entire name -- until former quarterback Darian Durant told him it would take too long, with so many fans lined up. "Now I give them an 'R' and 'M' and a 'G' with the number,'' McGill said. "Sometimes, there are so many to sign that you just sign as fast as you can ... and then try to flex your hand every once in a while to keep your hand from cramping up,'' said UNC wide receiver Jesse Holley.
