Tar Heels expected to struggle in ACC

Posted Jul 26, 2005

North Carolina coach John Bunting made it clear how he felt about the ACC Football Kickoff’s preseason poll that was released Monday. Bunting jokingly ripped a sheet of paper into several pieces that held the results when he saw the poll prior to an interview session, a faux angry reaction about his team’s selection for a fifth-place finish in the six-team Coastal Division.
