I am finally caught up on captioning and have posted galleries from UNC’s win over Wake Forest and the upset loss to Virginia Tech. The Wake Forest game was special because players from the 1957 and 1982 teams were there to celebrate their 50th and 25th anniversary of their respective …
With college football signing day in the rear view mirror, fans have had a chance to see how they did compared to other school. “Hey, I got three 5-star recruits and you only got one 4-star!†Such exchanges are fine as I’m all for school sprit and competition. But there …
