Posted Nov 24, 2025
First-year UNC coach Bill Belichick – the NFL legend whose first words, according to Belichick family folklore, were “Beat Duke” – will be participating in the rivalry game for the first time Saturday at Carter-Finley Stadium. That doesn’t mean he’s unaware. “I’m not, like, real smart,” Belichick said, tongue-in-cheek, “but I’ve learned that pretty quick.” (WRAL.com)
