UNC students lined Manning Drive outside the Athletic Ticket Office Wednesday morning to pick up tickets for Saturday's East Carolina football game. Kickoff is set for 3:35 p.m. at Kenan Stadium.
Head coach John Bunting, whose Tar Heels have posted back-to-back wins over Florida State and NC State, arrived shortly after 9 a.m. to greet students waiting in the long lines and thank them for their support. At lunchtime, Bunting ordered pizzas for the crowd.
Carolina, which plays the nation's hardest rated schedule according to the Sagarin computer rankings, has not faced East Carolina since a 56-0 win in 1981 in Chapel Hill.
