I don’t recall the last time I was this excited for a Tar Heel football season. I always eagerly anticipate the beginning of the season as a whole, since college football is my favorite sport, but this is the most anxious I can remember being to specifically watch the Heels play it. It’s a strange thing.
Saying this season will be odd, after the decade that the last year turned out to be, is perhaps a little trite. By all accounts, summer workouts are ongoing as usual, and there was a spring game this year (in front of fans, even; imagine that).
