Chansky’s Notebook: Recalling Fran


Were you in Chapel Hill for Fran in 1996? It was about this time on the second Saturday of the football season. UNC’s team had flown out the day before Fran arrived for Syracuse, where the 24th-ranked Tar Heels were facing Donovan McNabb and the No. 9 Orangemen. The only place carrying the game was a bar on Franklin Street that ran its satellite dish off generators. (Chapelboro.com)
