Chase Rice draws strength from dad

Posted Aug 12, 2008

Every day for the past four weeks, North Carolina linebacker Chase Rice has donned a shiny silver dog tag. It reads, in part,"Larger Than Life ... 8/19/1950-5/18/2008." It's his way of remembering that football this fall is about more than trying to achieve a winning season, compete for a league title or make it to a bowl. "It's all about my dad this year,'' said Rice. (Raleigh News & Observer)
