The combination of UNC men’s basketball’s season and Election Night coverage delayed the show, but 97.9 The Hill’s Brighton McConnell and Michael Koh convene for an abbreviated edition of The Carolina Football Hour to discuss the team earning its first Power 4 win of the season vs. Syracuse last Friday. The Orange were not formidable opponents, but it provided a chance for UNC to play one of its best games of the year — what successes can be built upon to help the Tar Heels end the season stronger? Plus, the guys take a brief look at Stanford and discuss why the game might be manageable for UNC to pick up a win…but perhaps not as assured as the matchup initially seemed.

Listeners can call 919-240-6000 to leave voicemails for the show after the Tar Heels’ game vs. Stanford. Those who do will be featured in “What In Tar-Nation?!”  on the next edition of “The Carolina Football Hour,” which is Monday, Nov. 10.


The Carolina Football Hour is your home for football insights from the Tar Heel Sports flagship station!
