Still Not Exactly the Healthy Respect

The Boston Globe lead off their article on UNC's victory over Boston College with a discussion of the attractiveness of Kenan stadium. I'm beginning to think people don't view North Carolina as a football school.

And while I'm cherrypicking articles from ACC Basketblog, here's an interesting observation from Monday's News and Observer article: Chuck Amato is 4-12 against ranked teams, while Bunting is 5-19.

Think about that. Two coaches play in the same league for five seasons. FOr the first three, they share 7 opponents a year, and still have significant overlap these last two. And yet despite Amato having coached an extra season, Bunting's played eight more ranked opponents than the Wolfpack. That's pretty close to being an extra two per year. One thing I will not fault Bunting for is the fact he goes out and plays good teams. Sure, there's the occasional slaughter, but I'll take the Oklahomas and Texases over boring games with directional schools every day of the week.
