Now the Heels focus their attention on another ACC opponent in Wake Forest. Tip-off is set for 9pm Wednesday night in Chapel Hill. […]

by Sharon Thorsland The NFC South is up for grabs and the Panthers can take control with a win over the Bucs in Tampa on Sunday. That plus a win next week over the Saints would give them the division title and a playoff berth at Bank of America Stadium for the first time since […]

by Sharon Thorsland North Carolina heads west to take on 15th ranked Oregon in the Holiday Bowl Wednesday night, and the Tar Heels will be without several key players on both sides of the football. Star receiver Josh Downs is headed to the NFL and is sitting this one out, and several others are transferring, […]
