A New Blue Dawn

Posted by Staff | Nov 27, 2012 | Sports

Senior Day against Maryland was a pretty typical game for the 2012 Tar Heels. The Terrapins, perhaps motivated by the decision to leave the ACC in favor of the Big Ten, served as a mediocre but spirited opponent. Carolina fans...

The Light at the end of the Tunnel

Posted by Staff | Nov 20, 2012 | Uncategorized

It’s finally here ladies and gentlemen…. the last game of the 2012 University of North Carolina football season. Wow, this season has absolutely flown by and, for me; this is when depression sets in. After Saturday,...

Posted by Staff | Nov 14, 2012 | Uncategorized

I’m going to take this week’s column from a different angle mostly because I don’t really feel like addressing the onslaught of giving up 68 points to Paul Johnson and Georgia Tech this past weekend. On top of that, I can’t...

“Run Gio Run” has become a constant chant that builds and builds each Saturday as we anticipate Gio Bernard accelerating through a hole and with one cut, he’s off to the races. So it wasn’t too surprising when the Hurricanes of...

From the Eyes of a Heel

Posted by Staff | Aug 30, 2012 | Uncategorized

It’s finally that time. GAME WEEK! No more long days/weeks of training camp at the football facility (including, if you were lucky, naps you might be able to catch by hiding in any available dark spot in the facility), coaches...

A Coach's Perspective

Posted by Staff | Aug 29, 2012 | Uncategorized

Following football in the Triangle will be hard for me this season. I’m taking a year off from coaching since being fired by UNC. I won’t be watching many games on TV but will be getting game films weekly to...
