UNC Tar Heels Football
By Sharon Thorsland North Carolina goes on the road Saturday to take on the University of Central Florida in Orlando. The Tar Heels (2-1) have won two in a row now after knocking off Richmond last weed. The Knights (2-0) are coming off a bye week after opening the season with wins over Jacksonville State […]
by Sharon Thorsland North Carolina fans are no doubt breathing a sigh of relief – the Tar Heels got their first win of the season last week, beating Charlotte 20-3. Next up for UNC (1-1) is the Richmond Spiders, who are also 1-1 on the year after loss to Lehigh and a win over Wofford. […]
*by Sharon Thorsland* Well, Bill Belichick’s much-ballyhooed debut at North Carolina was a big dud. The Tar Heels (0-1, 0-0 ACC) got thoroughly embarrassed by TCU on Monday night. Now they’ll try to regroup and bounce back when they take on the Charlotte 49ers on Saturday night. The 49ers are coming off their own beat-down […]
*by Sharon Thorsland* It’s the start of a new era in Chapel Hill, where the North Carolina Tar Heels open their first season under coach Bill Belichick on Monday night. The future Hall of Fame coach and the Heels welcome TCU to Kenan Stadium. The Horned Frogs finished 9-4 last season and are expected to […]
by Sharon Thorsland It’s been a weird year for North Carolina football. The Tar Heels lost their starting quarterback in week one, endured a four game losing streak that included a 70–pound beat down by JMU, and saw Coach Mack Brown fired ahead of a season ending loss to rival NC State that dropped them […]
by Sharon Thorsland It’s rivalry week in college football, and for North Carolina that means a showdown with NC State. It’s been a tough week for the Tar Heels, who lost to Boston College on Saturday then learned on Tuesday that coach Mack Brown was being fired. No doubt the Heels want to win for […]
by Sharon Thorsland North Carolina is rolling. The Tar Heels have won three straight after a 31-24 victory over Wake Forest last week, and look to make it four in a row when they face Boston College on Saturday in Chestnut Hill. Kick-off is set for noon on WBT. UNC (6-4) became bowl eligible last […]
by Sharon Thorsland Finally! North Carolina snapped its four game losing streak last week with a huge win over Virginia. Now the Tar Heels look to keep that momentum going as they travel to Tallahassee to take on Florida State. The idea of going into Doak Campbell Stadium used to strike fear into opposing fan’s […]
by Sharon Thorsland It’s been a rough stretch for North Carolina. The Tar Heels have dropped four straight games to fall to 3-4 on the season. But they had a bye last week to lick their wounds and get ready for another edition of the South’s oldest rivalry – UNC versus Virginia. The Cavaliers are […]
by Sharon Thorsland It’s a rough time to be a North Carolina football fan. The Tar Heels got everybody excited with their 3-0 start before imploding and losing three straight, most recently last week to Pitt. So it’s understandable if UNC fans are reverting to their familiar chant of “wait ’til basketball.” The good news […]
by Sharon Thorsland I’m sure there are a lot of North Carolina fans out there right now saying “what is going on with the Tar Heels.” After getting blown out by JMU, the Heels looked like they were back on track against Duke before coughing up a 20-point third quarter lead and losing 21-20. That […]
by Sharon Thorsland Well, it never fails – at some point during the football season I utter the words “wait ’til basketball.” It’s not often I have to do that just four games into the season, but after that utter debacle in Chapel Hill last week when North Carolina got blasted by JMU, here we […]
