UNC Game Ball Misses Target, Lands At Duke
Duke officials were a bit surprised when, at 6 p.m. Saturday, about an hour before the scheduled kickoff, two men parachuted into the Wallace Wade Stadium and landed at the 35-yard line with a game ball.
Problem was, the Blue Devils — who were warming up along with opponent James Madison — weren't expecting it.
North Carolina was scheduled to receive its game ball via aerial team at about that time in Chapel Hill.
...the pilot thought they were over the correct stadium, and the skydivers jumped — only realizing when they landed that they were in the wrong place.
YouTube has the jump
