Chansky’s Notebook: The Underbelly

Posted May 14, 2024
Some of you may remember Chris Kupec, UNC's All-ACC quarterback in 1974 with a 69 percent completion rate, 12 touchdowns versus 3 interceptions for Bill Dooley’s three yards and a cloud-of-dust offense. Chris was the brother of Matt Kupec, who starred for the Tar Heels five years later. Chris, an esteemed attorney in Charlotte, died last week at age 71. (Chapelboro.com)
