UNC Football Not Caught Up in Pageantry of Ireland Showcase

The Chapel Bill era began with a whimper in Kenan Stadium last Sep. 1, as the Horned Frogs hopped all over the Tar Heels in a 48-14 blowout win. It set the stage for a disastrous 4-8 season that made as much news off the field as on it. But a new season means new hopes and expectations for UNC, who are seeking to turn over a new leaf (or clover) in Ireland. (Chapelboro.com)
