Tomorrow there will be another six games that will feature once again players that come from the North Carolina football program. And again I will make sure to have them all lined up for you to see where each will be playing and if any will be on television for your viewing pleasure. I will be following all the former UNC players for the whole preseason as well as the regular season and the post season.
