“Some people feel the rain. Others just get wet.”
Bob Marley
The Tar Heels got soaked and dunked and drowned Saturday amid rain and wind of near biblical proportions. A football field in Kenan Stadium just over a year old with tight bermuda turf and a state-of-the-art foundation of 10 inches of sand over four of gravel drained remarkably well as Hurricane Matthew roared northward from Florida and left a deluge of some five inches of rainfall by kick-off in Chapel Hill.
The footing was one thing. Handling the ball was another.
