Eateries reap game-day cash
Owners see marked increase in sales
BY LEYLA BALLANTYNE
STAFF WRITER
While the football team works
up a sweat on the field, Tar Heel
fans work up a voracious appetite.
Before, during, and after the
games, many students look to local
eateries to satisfy their hunger.
Many Franklin Street restau
rants and fast food joints detect
noticeable increases in sales on
game days.
“There is definitely an increase,”
said Andrew Russell, general
manager of Jimmy John’s, 306 W.
Franklin St.
Russell noted that sales are
about the same for home and away
football games. However, there
is a distinct difference between
days the Tar Heels reign victorious
and days they hang their heads in
defeat.
Jason Kerwin, general manager
of Buffalo Wild Wings, seconded
the difference in sales between
winning and loosing games.
“Whenever there’s a win, the
energy is always better,” he said.
“Our busiest day this season was the
Wisconson game, it was insane.”
Russell attributed the sales
increase to the larger number of
students that participate in a little
post-game celebration.
“Between 2 and 3 a.m. when
bars close it gets rowdy,” he said.
“If we lose I don’t make nearly as
much money.”
Asia Cafe also reported an
increase in sales on game days.
Miami’s defense is out for vengeance
Game and Time: North Carolina
at No. 6 Miami. Kickoff is at noon,
moved up from the original 3:30
p.m. start time because of damage
from Hurricane Wilma.
Site: Orange Bowl.
TV/Radio: The game will be
televised nationally on ESPN2.
The Tar Heel Sports Network will
provide radio coverage; the game
can be heard locally on 1360-AM
and 106.1-FM.
Records: North Carolina is 3-3,
2-1 in the ACC. Miami is 5-1 (2-1).
Series: North Carolina leads 5-3.
Personnel Update: North Carolina
comerback Jacoby Watkins (bro
ken leg) is out. Miami quarter
back Kyle Wright (sprained right
thumb) has practiced without a
bandage and will play.
The Key Matchup: North
Carolina quarterback Matt Baker
against the Miami pass defense.
Against Virginia last Saturday,
the senior threw for 98 yards by
far his lowest total of the season.
Luckily for the Tar Heels, the
newly energized running game
compensated for the team’s pass
ing woes, as Ronnie McGill and
Barrington Edwards combined
for 170 yards on the ground. That
proved just enough to topple the
Cavaliers, 7-5, and keep the team’s
bowl hopes alive.
But Baker likely will need to
have a career game if his team has
any chance of shocking the 20-
point-favorite Hurricanes.
“Our quarterback’s got to play bet
ter than he did the other day, and he
knows that,” said UNC coach John
Bunting. “(Saturday) was his first
game where he didn’t probably see
the field as well as he needed to.”
If Baker doesn’t survey the field
well at the Orange Bowl, look for
his streak of throwing at least one
interception in every game this sea
son to continue. The senior signal
caller has nine picks in six games,
tied for the ACC’s most.
And Saturday, Baker will go up

General Manager Yijiang Liang
said that while delivery numbers
are constant, higher numbers of
customers come in for dinner once
the game is over.
“There are usually more custom
ers for night time games,” Liang
said.
For away games, other local eat
ing establishments see increased
numbers of delievery orders. Many
students choose to stay in and
watch the game on television, and
would rather have the food come
to them.
“We’ll order pizza for away
games,” said Logan Dagley, a junior
who lives off campus.
There also are apparent differ
ences between who’s ordering on
game days. “There are dorms that
know about Jimmy John’s and that
don’t,” said Russell. “The freshmen
area orders a lot.”
Kerwin said he noticed that on
days when away games are aired
on local channels or standard cable
stations fewer customers come in.
Even for away games when fewer
people come in, “there is a noti
cable increase in Tar Heel Takeout
orders,” he said.
More customers and more deliv
ery orders means less room for mis
takes by drivers delivering food.
What happens when disaster
strikes during delivery and some
unforseable obstacle appears?
‘You just deal with each situation
and handle it,” Russell said. “I had
a driver come to my house, wake
against the top pass defense in the
country Miami has allowed oppo
nents to complete a mere 46 percent
of its passes against this season.
Final Analysis/Prediction: This
game poses a conundrum for prog
nosticators looking to utilize trends.
The Tar Heels have struggled to
build momentum in consecutive
games during the past several years.
Besides, UNC probably is more
focused on its final three home
games, beginning next week
against No. 13 Boston College. The
team knows that the most likely
way to achieve bowl eligibility is to
sweep those three games against
8.C., Maryland and Duke before
the season finale at No. 3 Virginia
Tech.
The Hurricanes also could look
past this game, however. Next
Saturday, they will travel to face the
Hokies in what likely will be a win
ner-take-all showdown for a trip to
the ACC championship game.
But one factor looms large for
Miami the desire for revenge
after the Tar Heels stunned the
undefeated ’Canes in Kenan
Stadium last October.
“They’re not going to be sleeping
on us,” said UNC safety Trimane
Goddard. “They’re going to be
ready to come in and just try to
blow us out.”
While it might not be a blowout,
look for Miami to exact some ven
geance via the win column.
The Bottom Line: Miami 31,
North Carolina 13.

UNC has a date
with the Devils
BY DAVID MOSES
SENIOR WRITER
Just from the location of its prac
tice Thursday night, you could tell
the North Carolina men’s soccer
team is taking today’s game pretty
seriously.
The No. 9 Tar Heels, who usu
ally practice at off-campus Finley
Fields, spent Thursday night under
the lights at Fetzer Field, where
UNC (12-3-1, 2-3-1 ACC) will host
its biggest rival, No. 4 Duke (10-3-
1,3-2-1), at 8 p.m.
“(We practiced there) just
because we wanted to get a good
feel again for the field,” UNC head
coach Elmar Bolowich said. “Just
to mix it up a little bit.”
Starting in goal for the Tar
Heels will be junior Justin Hughes.
Hughes will get the nod over senior
captain Ford Williams, who had
started the team’s first 11 games.
Hughes has become the regular
keeper since Williams surrendered
four goals to Maryland on Oct. 14.
“(Justin’s) played well lately,”
Bolowich said. “He had a great
game against Wake Forest. Kept
us in the game. He’s an excellent
goalkeeper. So is Ford. But right
now we made that switch after
Maryland and Justin has proven
himself.”
UNC will be looking to run its
record to 5-0 in games started by
Hughes.
“It doesn’t matter (who starts) as
long as the ball stays out of the net,”
said junior Corey Ashe.
The Tar Heels count heavily on
freshmen Scott Campbell and Brian
Shriver. Both Campbell, who leads

the team in scoring, and Shriver,
who is tied for third in scoring, will
get a firsthand look at the famous
Duke/Carolina rivalry.
“It’s another ACC game,”
Campbell said. “The ACC is always
pretty competitive. I’m just going to
go out there and play like I would
in any other ACC game.”
Despite their lack of experience,
Bolowich doesn’t think that will be
a problem for UNC.
“I think they are looking for
ward to it,” he said. “It’s nothing
that would be earth-shattering to
them that they haven’t seen already
in the ACC.”
The last two years, the games
between these two teams have been
nothing short of spectacular, with
each squad winning on its home
field.
“It’s a great rivalry,” Ashe said.
“You look at any sport, basketball,
football, it doesn’t matter. We just
have great battles. (Today) will be
the same.”
The game looks to be anoth
er instant classic, as the teams
matchup well and the pressure of
the rivalry will make both squads
rise to the occasion.
“I hope it would be turning out
that way,” Bolowich said. “I hope
that we would put on a spectacle.
Both teams like to attack, both
teams like to go forward, and there
are athletic players and dynamic
players. We have similar records
and similar teams. I think it will
be a close game.”
