Sports broadcaster and Chapelboro columnist David Glenn joins 97.9 The Hill News Director Brighton McConnell on Thursday, August 7. In his latest “Holding Court” piece, Glenn explores how new UNC football head coach Bill Belichick does not have history on his side — as all his predecessors in Chapel Hill have fallen short of the lofty expectations currently facing the program. He also dives into why he is skeptical about trusting the Tar Heels’ roster, even with a weaker schedule, and the talent discrepancy that UNC faces in its higher-profile games this fall.
On Air Today features interviews and conversations with the latest newsmakers in our community — including local elected leaders, educators, business owners, and anyone else with their finger on the pulse of the greater Chapel Hill community.
