As you may have heard already, North Carolina tried a stunt where two skydivers landed in their stadium before their scheduled tip-off against McNeese State. But apparently, they skydivers nor the pilot had never heard of this thing I like to call GPS. Hell, I would even accepted Mapquest or something. Anyways, the skydivers ended up landing in nearby Duke Stadium where 10-12 who were gathered ...
Skydivers Know Duke, UNC Look Same at 10k Ft.
sportsbybrooks.com 8/31/2008 — The University of North Carolina signed up a skydiving duo to drop from the sky before Saturday night’s home opener for the football squad. (After all, no one’s coming out to see McNeese State. Not even the McNeese family. They need to clean their gutters. You know. Gutter-cleaning season. That’s it.)
Unfortunately, the weather was predicted to be rough while the men ...

UNC wasn't good, but neither was most of the ACC
unc5corners.blogspot.com 8/31/2008 — I know that watching the Tar Heels squeak by McNeese State wasn't the way most of the fan base wanted to begin the season. The two things that we can all bring home from the game are: It was a win after all and Brandon Tate was as good as anyone has ever been in a Carolina Blue uniform.
Sunday Morning Rewind: RIP, ACC
sports.yahoo.com 8/31/2008 — I don't do the "conference wars" thing, but the overwhelming stench of the weekend is the ACC flopping around like a bunch of gasping fish: Alabama routed Atlantic Division favorite Clemson, Coastal Division favorite Virginia Tech was ...
Great Moments in Confused Skydiving [Whimsy]

Skydivers Land at Duke Football Game Instead of North Carolina Tar Heels’ —
Larry Brown Sports
I guess when you’re 15,000 feet away, football fields can look pretty similar . Will Brinson at FanHouse brings us the video of a pre-game stunt gone wrong. The man in the video was supposed to be skydiving into the stadium at Chapel Hill, not Raleigh Durham for Duke’s game.
Yes, the writing on the scoreboard does read: Duke Blue Devils. What’s a matter, skydiver ...

In The Bleachers - A College Football Blog and Podcast
There were no monumental upsets, like last year’s upset of Appalachian State over Michigan, but quite a few teams and conferences took some major hits over the weekend.
First we start with the entire ACC Conference. If there are any Tar Heel fans out there that told my friend Adam Nettina that he was a moron for even thinking that McNeese State had a chance against North Carolina , ...
McNeese St doesn't matter when looking at the big picture —
The 5th Corner
After a day of wondering how all the hype from the North Carolina football team turned into a squad that was way below what most so-called experts/analysts believed, I have now come to a very simple conclusion. Saturday's game, because at the end of the line Carolina did win, doesn't matter. What matters is next Thursday's game against Rutgers. Does any of this make sense? Probably not, but ...

Sometimes "Coach's Speak" is for the best —
The 5th Corner
Sometimes coach's speak is true. When I read an answer given by head coach Butch Davis before the home opener with McNeese State I just thought "another answer from the book of Coach Speak". Instead, after the game was over, maybe just maybe, coach Davis knew more about this game than he let on. He was asked if he'd try to work a backup quarterback into Saturday's game against McNeese ...

Tar Heel Fan
What the….
I am not sure were Robbi Pickeral is going with this one.
When he was asked Monday whether he’d try to work a back-up quarterback into Saturday’s game against McNeese State, North Carolina coach Butch Davis said he didn’t know. “We’re just trying to get a first down,” he said.
But considering what happened to N.C. State’s ...
