Extra Points: Bunting, Ten Years Later

Posted Apr 25, 2016
It’s been 45 years since John Bunting co-captained Carolina’s 1971 ACC championship team. It’s been 15 since he coached his Tar Heel squad to one of the school’s most memorable wins ever—that 41-9 shellacking of Florida State in the home opener in 2001. And this fall it will be one decade since his tenure as Carolina’s head coach came to an end. (GoHeels.com)
