by Sharon Thorsland   North Carolina and Duke face off on Saturday in a game that has conference implications. No, we’re not talking about basketball (81-77 anyone?).

by Sharon Thorsland   The Panthers are still looking for that elusive first win of the season as they try to snap a year long home losing streak. They welcome division rival New Orleans to Bank of America Stadium on Sunday, which just happens to be the last team they beat at home. The Saints […]

by Sharon Thorsland North Carolina returns to action this Saturday taking on Notre Dame at Kenan Stadium (3:30 on WBT). This is not the matchup people might have predicted when the season started. The Fighting Irish were ranked 5th in the country then but have since gone 1-2 with losses to Ohio State and Marshall […]

by Sharon Thorsland The Panthers will try again to pick up their first win of the season when they take on the New York Giants on Sunday. They nearly pulled off the win over the Browns last week in spite of a slow start by the offense and a porous run defense that allowed 214 […]
