Together, let’s remember UNC’s last visit to Notre Dame. In 2014, the Tar Heels had to have the weirdest season in the 90-plus years they’ve been playing football, giving up the most points in school history and still making it to a bowl game. Opponents rang up a record high of 507 points, an average […]

Don’t miss the new movie about Venus and Serena’s father! Film Fest 919 concluded its fourth annual run in Chapel Hill Sunday, and the festival drew big crowds over the weekend, smartly scheduled while the football team was idle. The lineup of first-run feature films was again amazing and will surely grow the unprecedented number […]

Landing Zach Rice proves November is still very important. A year ago, the 6-foot-6 offensive tackle was narrowing his college choice from among more than 30 scholarship offers he received as the No. 13 prep player in America while hearing a lot from Mack Brown. One of UNC’s biggest sales pitches was about regaining its […]

There is a reason why the Astros and Braves won their divisions easily. Both league championship series have had wild swings and one dramatic comeback, but it sure looks like the Houston Astros and Atlanta Braves are headed for the World Series. The Astros seemed in trouble after Boston won the second and third games […]

Another two cases of why anti-vaxxers hurt themselves. Certainly, people are entitled to their opinions and are free to take whatever actions they choose. However, when those choices endanger other people, there must be consequences. Washington State football coach Nick Rolovich was fired in the middle of the season with a 4-3 record after refusing […]

If Carolina can survive the early schedule, it should help later. Hubert Davis may make some subtle changes in how the Tar Heels play basketball, but he will continue where and who they play non-conference games in the molds of Dean Smith and Roy Williams. Although the full schedule has been out for weeks, the […]

Will the Atlanta Braves be the Cinderella of a striking postseason? How about these Major League Baseball playoffs! Close games, two grand slam home runs by the same team in one of them, and five walk-off victories, two in a row from teams both born in Boston. The Red Sox dispatched Tampa Bay, the American […]

“Carolina’s gonna be Carolina.” Really? Hubert Davis has been kind of coy with his words since taking over the Carolina basketball program. But his actions are speaking louder than what he says. He certainly wants to respect the heritage of the Dean Smith and Roy Williams eras. He played for the Dean and coached under […]

Mack Brown had more on his mind than losing a football game. When he came on his weekly 11 a.m. Zoom press conference Monday, Brown opened with the story about Ohio State head coach Ryan Day whose father had committed suicide at 31, leaving a son to later learn his dad had battled depression most […]

Here is the good news and bad news about Miami’s quarterbacks. It seems like Carolina caught a tremendous break Monday when D’Eriq King, Miami’s skilled quarterback supposedly recovering from a shoulder injury, was ruled out for the season and will have surgery to repair his wing. King has had a controversial career after transferring to […]
