After a week where a lot of the Tar Heels were away from home, Chapel Hill opens its arms back to teams for some important contests this week. Actually any contest played this time of year is important, but it always means a little bit more when fans in Chapel Hill can watch the action. […]
For about three quarters against Clemson there was a funny feeling rising in the stomachs of fans—hope. The Tar Heel defense looked good, stopping Clemson time and time again, and while the offense wasn’t great it was at least good enough. Though, painfully, they didn’t do enough to take advantage of a lightning delay
We still have to wait just a little over a month before UNC plays their first meaningful basketball game in the Dean Smith Center, but the anticipation is agonizing. With a brand new squad, a brand new coach, and brand new overall energy in the building, it is hard to keep focus on everything else […]

It’s been a great week for the UNC women’s soccer team. The Heels scored a rivalry win over Duke last Thursday, rallying from a 2-1 deficit to win the match 4-2. Carolina followed that victory up by defeating an out-matched Alcorn State team 5-0 on Saturday. UNC entered this week with a 9-1 record, 2-0 […]

Yesterday afternoon, Notre Dame throttled Purdue 49-10 to win the Shillelagh Trophy for the 11th time in row. The Boilermakers’ defense allowed 444 total yards and six touchdowns, while the offense could only procure one touchdown. It was ugly, it was expected, and it is exactly why I think it would be in UNC’s best […
