Posted Jan 5, 2009
The news spread faster than an on-line rumor. By the time it made it from one end of Cameron Indoor Stadium to the other, the Crazies were already chanting a derogatory message to arch-rival North Carolina. In the great scheme of things, the Tar Heels' upset loss to Boston College won't drastically change the balance of power in the ACC. But because it happened on the first day of the league schedule,the next two months just got a lot more interesting. (Wilmington Star News)
