Tar Heels don't talk much about the past, but perception is helping to shape present motivation
Posted Sep 11, 2019
Mack Brown said that the Tar Heels have quickly built a culture of honesty since he returned. He’s been around too long to think his players don’t see what’s being said and written about them. With a 24/7 network dedicated to the conference, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, it’s impossible to ignore. However, Brown believes he can turn it into motivation.
