UNC Humiliated, but Eager to Return to the Field

Posted Aug 15, 2012
The first football practice of a new season and a new era at UNC came mercifully this month, a much-needed respite in what has been a two-year nightmare for a once-respected program. It “was just like Christmas,” quarterback Bryn Renner said before the annual Meet the Heels fan day Aug. 4th. “So happy to get on the field. A full staff and all the momentum behind us.” (New York Times)
