I always have thought we would get a home and home with Duke or State ahead of UNCCH

I talked with Steve during the first half of the WBB game today. He was going to talk to Gillin about something, but didn't tell me what. Now I know.

Steve's information isn't 100 percent accurate. UNC will announce it as a two-for-one. It actually is what's called nowadays as a home-and-home-and-buy. The two schools will do something like a home-and-home, then UNC will pay us for a "money" game in Chapel Hill for the third game.

If so, then all the better! A home and home PLUS a easy to visit bank/money game!

Also hope this a means to an end as well. State and Duke will have a hard time not playing us now if CH does. Already have Charlotte, Wake, and ECU. Time to get all the NC FBS teams on board. And some close to NC P5's as well......

Time to plan for that seating expansion. Also, time for people to realize we aren't anyones little brother any more. I've always been an ABC type of fan but I have to give them credit for accepting a game in Boone. As Moose said State and Duke are now on the clock.

What will all the UNC fans at APP do now? I'll be interested to see what the crowd will look like. Will UNC fans cover half the stadium or can we swamp them in black and gold?

Shocked. UNC has scheduled basically every G5 in the region *except* us. I figured they didn't want a) the tougher game or b) the lack of recruiting benefit of playing in Boone. I didn't even really think they'd give us a money game; now we might be getting both? Wow.

And to add the icing on the cake, we'll get an allotment of tickets for the first game in Chapel Hill and we'll keep the proceeds from those tickets.
