Tar Heels try to turn season around

Posted Oct 19, 2006

North Carolina’s football team doesn’t have time to feel sorry for itself. Perhaps that’s one of the few positives as the Tar Heels try to end a few lengthy streaks tonight at Virginia. The Tar Heels haven’t won in Charlottesville, Va., since 1981 — a streak that dates back 12 games. They haven’t beaten a Division I-A opponent in 11 months — a six-game losing skid began last November at Virginia Tech. (Burlington Times News)
