Lucas: No Lazy Summer For Tar Heels

Posted Jul 12, 2006

For college football players, mid-July is the offseason. At least, it's supposed to be the offseason. But maybe those words belong in quotation marks. Maybe it should really be "the offseason." That's what senior defensive tackle Shelton Bynum thinks when his alarm blares every weekday morning at 6:30 a.m. If it was truly the offseason, if he was truly taking a break, it's unlikely he'd be getting up this early. But Bynum and the rest of his Carolina teammates are busy. (Tar Heel Blue)
