CHAPEL HILL
As I look out the windows here in the home office, situated less than a mile from Kenan Stadium, the tree limbs are bouncing in the breeze and steady, hard rain is falling from a sky as gray as the grayest hair on an old gray wizard’s long gray beard. Gameday forcecast today here in Chapel Hill: 68 degrees, rain and wind between 28 and 33 mph.
Those will be the conditions around 3:30, when North Carolina and Virginia Tech begin a game of monumental importance in the Coastal Division race. The good news: The conditions, and especially the wind, are supposed to improve later in the day as Hurricane Matthew moves farther east.
