UNC will try to exorcise its Charlottesville demons
Posted Oct 16, 2008
The Tar Heels and Cam Sexton will walk into Scott Stadium in Charlottesville, Va., on Saturday stronger than when they walked out of it two years ago. And there's hope that UNC will be able to end an annoying losing streak of 13 games, and win in Charlottesville for the first time since 1981. Ronald Reagan was president the last time that UNC won in Charlottesville. Dick Crum was UNC's coach. Some very good UNC teams have not won there since.
