Bunting, seniors prepare for final game at Kenan

Posted Nov 13, 2006

John Bunting will step onto the Kenan Stadium turf for the last time as North Carolina's football coach this week, with his career at his alma mater now in its final trying days. Bunting's last home game will take place on Saturday when N.C. State will visit Chapel Hill in a meeting of two struggling teams. Bunting won't make a big deal out of his final appearance in the stadium in which he played his college ball. (Winston-Salem Journal)
