Did you know: O. Max Gardner, former North Carolina governor, captained both the NC State and UNC football teams during his time in higher education? Gardner played football as an undergrad at State; he continued his athletic pursuits while attending law school at UNC. He is still the only person ever to head both teams; I imagine it’ll stay that way, unless TJ Yates develops a taste for Raleigh nightlife.
You left out the one condition the Governor imposed on his UNC Football commitment–He refused to play in any game against NC State.
Fascinating! Thanks for the insight. I’d be interested to know more about his football career–record, stats, etc.
