Austin Proehl sat across from Joel Poe, a 60-year-old bone marrow cancer patient he met during a hospital visit with the North Carolina football team, talking about last week’s game. The once barren walls were decorated in Carolina blue pictures and posters — a single UNC blanket draped across the white hospital bed. Framed family pictures adorned the tables. (Daily Tar Heel)
