I was in mid-matriculation when Carolina Football went from white helmets to various PMS-shades of blue helmets. I bet you don’t know the “why” they did. I bet not even Freddie Kiger knows this one! Bill Dooley replaced Jim...

Posted by Art Chansky | Oct 7, 2012 | Art's Angle

Hey, Coach, can we wear all white the next two weeks in Dade County and Durham? White was sure right Saturday, as Carolina kicked old nemesis Virginia Tech around antiseptic Kenan Stadium for a signature win that pretty much...

Statistics Versus Strategy

Posted by Staff | Sep 26, 2012 | Uncategorized

UNC has some choices to make about how to approach the Idaho game. One approach is to run up the score, gain lots of yards, and pad statistics. This usually pleases fans, boosters, and the press. Another approach does not...

Bubba And The 'Brothers'

Posted by Staff | Sep 24, 2012 | Uncategorized

Four out of five of NC’s “major college” football programs won this past Saturday. The 5th one – East Carolina – fell 24-6 to one of those other four — Carolina in sun-drenched Kenan Stadium. It was a good solid W for...
