A lot has changed since James Madison last visited UNC

Posted Sep 3, 2011
When James Madison last visited Kenan Stadium, Chapel Hill was abuzz. It was the 2007 season opener and a 37-14 North Carolina victory that gave the first Saturday of the Butch Davis era a triumphant feel. Today, James Madison returns to Chapel Hill as the Tar Heels try to take their first steps from underneath the rubble of that era. The opener comes as the Tar Heels program tries to navigate a sea of potential distractions. (Shelby Star)
