    New Bern, NC unless it's a home football game then I'm grilling on Devil's Alley
    Thanks for the link watzone, thanks for the article Jim. I think the instate recruiting is going to pay big dividends on and off the field for the program.
    Q "Why do you like Duke, you didn't even go there." A "Because my art school didn't have a basketball team."

    Jim mentioned somewhere that there was a recruiting board and that North Carolina kids had a state flag beside their name to show the importance of in state recruiting to the football program. Local kids also grew up in watching the ACC as well. I have always thought local kids understand the Duke-UNC rivalry better than those say in Colorado or New York.
