July has finally dripped off of the calendar, and we find ourselves melting into the final month without Tar Heel football. August, unusually, has arrived on the scene with a welcome break from the heat here in North Carolina’s piedmont, just in time for the imminent start of practice for the Carolina football team.
We’re within a month of the season, and there are still question marks all over the roster, at least from where I sit. I’m not sure that those questions will have concrete anwers anytime soon, either; Coach(es) Belichick and the rest of the staff will doubtless remain tight-lipped about two-deep specifics, hunting for any possible edge in the season opener as all eyes now turn to the Labor Day tilt against the Horned Frogs of TCU.
