Thursday Primer
What to make of this week's trip to Chapel Hill?
Is there a new dawn of optimism on the Heights or should fans be preparing for when not if our next loss will occur?
It's difficult to know what to make of this UNC team as it has undergone a transformation with a new QB and an up and down season which includes wins over Notre Dame, Miami, Rutgers and UConn (the latter two being doormats of a weak conference) as well as close losses to Virginia Tech (20-17) and UVA (16-13 in OT).
In light of Chris Crane's abysmal TD/INT ratio, the Tar Heel secondary must be licking their chops as, heading into the weekend, North Carolina has more interceptions than any team in the country with 14 (tied with Iowa).
ESPN and its crack reporter Heather Dinich are predicting BC to lose.
Ro-Fran, Don’t Touch Me
Senior Linebacker Robert Francois prepares to fill in for Brian Toal on Saturday (and the rest of the season). In perhaps their biggest contribution of the season, jack-of-all trades Billy Flutie and reserve linebacker Will Thompson spoofed the serious Francois in a song parody reminiscent of Matt Damon's classic Scotty Doesn't Know.
GAME PREVIEWS
A search of the internets reveals several previews, news, and notes of Saturday's tilt in Chapel Hill:
• The Sports Network Preview
• The Chapel Hill News
• ESPN
THE BC WAY?
Checking in on our old pal Coach Tom O'Brien, it appears that "the BC Way" doesn't translate in Raleigh as Chuck Amato's final recruiting class has evaporated before Major Tom's very eyes.
