UNC seeks payback as rivalry renews

Posted Sep 15, 2007

It has the ultimate irony. Last year, Virginia’s football team helped deliver the walking papers to former North Carolina coach John Bunting with an ugly rout on national television. North Carolina, in a way, can help return the favor today inside Kenan Stadium - the Tar Heels (1-1, 0-0) welcome Virginia (1-1, 1-0) to Chapel Hill, N.C., at noon in the latest installment of the South’s oldest rivalry.
