FB: Peppers Talking The Talk
Greensboro News & Record/By Rob Daniels

Raleigh News & Observer/By Barry Svrluga
When All-America defensive end Julius Peppers went
down during North Carolina's intrasquad scrimmage

MBB: Sunday Specials
Raleigh News & Observer/By Barry Svrluga
Sunday nights used to be so simple. A nice meal. A little
"60 Minutes." Maybe some light reading before gearing
up for the workweek. But if you're a college basketball
fan on Tobacco Road -- or anywhere in the country, for
that matter -- things just changed. The ACC released its
2001-02 men's basketball schedule Wednesday, and
the most significant developments are 18 nationally
televised games to be played on Sunday nights,
beginning with a doubleheader Dec. 2 featuring Georgia
Tech at North Carolina followed by Clemson at Duke...

speed? That'd be the matchup from football practice that
would draw all the attention...

FB: Curry Says UNC Never Will Be Football School
Durham Herald-Sun/By Frank Dascenzo
CHAPEL HILL -- The school lots of coaches like to refer to as a "sleeping giant" steps
out of its cozy confines and makes treks to play reigning national champion
Oklahoma on Aug. 25, then visits Texas on Sept. 8...
FB: Inflicting Pain Next in Plans For Perry
Greensboro News & Record/By Rob Daniels
CHAPEL HILL -- The X-rayed sight of the hole in the ankle -- the
