One-time Heels prepare for former team

Posted Sep 6, 2007

Talk to Khalif Mitchell about playing his former school and football team Saturday, and he makes it sound as though they're meeting for drinks at 6 p.m. that evening, not getting together to knock skulls. When the well-traveled Mitchell speaks of the Tar Heels, he does so with great care because it's clear he still values his relationships with the players and coaches with whom he spent his freshman year of college.
