I am among the most optimistic writers here at Tar Heel Blog. I expected 8 wins from the football team this year. That may still be attainable, but after yesterday’s performance, I don’t think I have any optimism left. That was abysmal. Embarrassing. Surprising. Sad.
Whatever word you choose to describe your feelings, nothing will change the fact that UNC has not won a season opener away from Kenan Memorial since 1993. They have not won a Week 1 road game since they defeated Navy in 1985. Both of those streaks stayed intact after yesterday’s dismal performance.
What else did we learn?
