Chuck Amato has plenty to lose against UNC

Posted Sep 19, 2005

After 64 games as N.C. State's head football coach, Chuck Amato has reached the one he can't afford to lose. It will be against North Carolina on Saturday at Carter-Finley Stadium. As popular as Amato always has been with his school's fans, a second straight loss to the Tar Heels would dump a ton of toxins into the chemistry between coach and customer. All harmony in the Wolf 'hood would be history. (Raleigh News & Observer)
