ACC’s new schedule turns State-UNC basketball into ‘just another game’

Posted Feb 3, 2012
It’s become something of a tradition at basketball games against N.C. State for North Carolina fans to taunt the Wolfpack with chants of “Not our rival!” as the final seconds of another Tar Heel victory tick off the clock. Apparently, commissioner John Swofford and a lot of others around the ACC feel the same way, because Friday, they officially ended whatever was left of the once-proud hoop rivalry between the Tar Heels and Wolfpack.
