Extra Points: Professor Mack

By Lee Pace

Mack Brown gazed out in a classroom of more than a hundred Carolina students Thursday morning in Gardner Hall and joked of things they knew little about.

"How many of you know what a dictionary is?" Brown asked. "Ya'll have known Google from the start, and it's worked pretty well."

He told the class about the ideas he and his wife Sally generated for the architects in designing the Kenan Football Center in 1996, which opened for good in 1998, just after he'd left the head football coaching job at Carolina for Texas.
