The Day After: Opportunity Lost

The trip to Pittsburgh had all the makings of another ugly road adventure for Carolina Football. For a wide gamut of reasons, being on the road, at night, has been a house of horrors for Mack Brown 2.0. Thursday night’s start had the faithful believing this game would supplant all the others as the worst of the bunch with Pitt jumping on the Tar Heels early and often. But an unexpected thing happened, Carolina’s defense stood up, stood strong and for once in a blue moon, did enough for the Heels...

The Day After: Exorcizing The Demons

Carolina needed a win. Badly. Wake Forest and their dream season were on the plate and the Heels were favored. Why Carolina was favored is something for the oddsmakers to explain, but if you listened to InsideCarolina.com in the days leading up to Saturday’s nooner, you should have known those reasons were valid. On Saturday afternoon, Sam Howell, Ty Chandler and Cam’Ron Kelly joined their teammates in a cathartic win for the team and the fanbase 58-55 over the Demon Deacons. The crew of Tommy A...

The Game Plan: The NEED to Win

Filed in the “Things we never thought we’d see in 2021” is the Wake Forest Demon Deacons coming into Kenan Stadium on Saturday with an 8-0 record and top 10 ranking.

But alas, here we are as the Tar Heels are favored despite struggling to a 4-4 record.

The Day After: Is It What It Is?

Carolina’s trip to Notre Dame played out like so many night road games have in the past several years. One side of the ball played well enough to win while the other simply didn’t show up. Couple that with the opponent and the mystique of the venue and it was what it was. You are not going to beat the Irish in South Bend without all three phases of the game in sync and on point. This season, thus far, Carolina has not gotten it done and Saturday night played out like most expected. The InsideCar...

The Game Plan: Conflicting Thoughts on a Huge Game

Carolina’s trip to Notre Dame on Saturday night holds many possibilities for the North Carolina Tar Heels. Entering at 4-3 and having fallen from grace on the national stage, no one expects the Heels to do anything other than provide fodder for the Irish on their home field. But this Carolina team has talent and while it has not come together yet, on the road in a hostile environment provides opportunity for a step up on a big stage.

Special: Authoring the Complete History of Carolina Basketball

The Day After: A Win In Name

Carolina got a much-needed win on Saturday, with the Heels beating the Miami Hurricanes 45-42 in a hectic chaotic affair that had most in attendance wondering how to digest what they just saw. The Heels did just enough early to win a game their opponent tried to steal at the end. But for a Tar Heel team still searching for an identity in a season of missed opportunity, getting the win and moving to 4-3 on the season heading into the bye week, it was one they had to have.

Carolina calls on Miami in Kenan Stadium on Saturday afternoon in a game that can keep the postseason hopes alive or crash them shut. Mack Brown’s Tar Heels and Manny Diaz’s Hurricanes are not too dissimilar this season with both having top 15 preseason expectations only to limp into mid season hovering around .500.

The Day After: You Get What You Allow

The Florida State game was a test of Carolina Football’s character. Could the Heels get revenge on a team that embarrassed the team last season and derailed a potentially special 2020 season?
