Extra Points: Hat Tricks

Posted Aug 23, 2024
UNC football helmets will have some new adornments this season. It's a tradition dating back to the Bill Dooley era of the 1970s. Now, it's being resurrected with helmets decorated with Tar Heel foot decals. "Sometimes you don't know who 'the guy' is. Well, you see those decals and you know that dude can play," said linebackers coach Tommy Thigpen. (GoHeels.com)
