by Sharon Thorsland It’s been an interesting start to the season for North Carolina. They won their opener in fairly easy fashion, but then went down to the wire in a shoot-out with App State last week, barely escaping Boone with a wild 63-61 win. Obviously the offense was outstanding, but the defense – not […]
by Sharon Thorsland North Carolina is 8-1 and ranked 15th in the country. In football, not basketball!

They lost to the Rams, traded away disgruntled receiver Robbie Anderson after his sideline tantrum, and then sent star running back Christian McCaffrey to the 49ers. For Panthers fans, that one really hurts. But as CMC himself said following the firing of Matt Rhule, […]
Christian McCaffrey‘s days in Carolina have come to an end. The Panthers trade Pro Bowl RB McCaffrey to the San Francisco 49ers in exchange for a second-round pick in 2023, a third-rounder in 2023, and a fourth-round pick in 2023.
