Tar Heels won't be underdogs

Posted Dec 14, 2008
North Carolina men's soccer coach Elmar Bolowich doesn't believe in the term "underdog." Being an underdog means being submissive, he said, and his team isn't one to give in easily. Exhibit A -- the Tar Heels have fought their way into today's title game of the NCAA College Cup against Maryland. And while it might not be an underdog, the team does have a handy grudge factor to motivate it. (Raleigh News & Observer)
