Have you ever had a first day of class where you’re catching up with friends that you haven’t seen all summer? You’re comparing vacations, showing them your teeth without braces on, flashing your new school shoes, etc? Then when the bell rings, the teacher says, “Alright kids, we’re going to have a pop quiz to see what you remember from last year. And the grade counts!”
That groan that came from all the students is the same one heard from Tar Heel Nation. Carolina flunked their season opener, and it wasn’t even a pop quiz! They’ve (presumably) been studying Virginia Tech all summer!
