Bunting has had his turn

Posted Oct 19, 2006

John Bunting might just be the only person left on earth not wearing Wolfpack red who still feels good about what’s going on with UNC’s beleaguered program. But give him time. Today, Bunting will take his Tar Heels and their 1-5 record up to Charlottesville, Va., a place where they haven’t won a football game since the Reagan Administration, to take on Virginia. It’s a prospect only an eternal optimist, such as Bunting, can smile about. (Fayetteville Observer)
