The Spring schedule sounds challenging. Virginia, Texas A&M, Nebraska and the ACC round-robin. With an open spot to squeeze in UND? It will...
UNC didn’t land Kara Lang, but still has a great recruiting class. Right now there are 3 verbals - all three should make major contributions next...
Bad news about Kara Lang. She would have helped re-ignite the offense. The Heels have a lot of work to do this Spring if they hope to regain...
Nothing solid about the Spring schedule other than the SAS reference. Last Spring the team traveled to Indiana to play the U. It would be nice...
Re: UNC verbal Welcome aboard Champ. I predict a lot of playing time for your daughter if she's who I think she is. The Heels can use her....
When it counted, they lost. That’s the way the this year’s edition of the Heels will be remembered. That and the haunting visual of Winget full...
The photo from the last post says it all. SCU brought UNC to its knees and then some. Actually it was more like a face-plant. One reason for...
The most disturbing thing about the Santa Clara loss is the knowledge that the winning goal came off a play that the Broncos had practiced all...
Nice rundown on Santa Clara. So much for the blowout. UNC will probably stay home next September. Another loss to the Broncos would be fatal....
The loss to Santa Clara was stupefying. 4 of 5. Even worse, SCU came in and beat UNC in its own backyard, brought it to its knees. For UNC is...
Re: 4-4-2 vs 3-4-3 As Boston Bob points out, the 4-3-3 is another option. The challenge here is to find someone who fits in well up front with...
Re: 4-4-2 vs 3-4-3 As JBS points out, the 3-4-3 really hasn’t worked very well the last 4-5 years. It worked to perfection during the 2003...
Definitely a bad year for dynasties. The UConn women’s basketball team is struggling. It has already been tagged with 2 losses and lost its top...
It's probably true that the flat-three defense is no more vulnerable to counters than the four-back defense. Yet, 2 plays pop to mind. The...
Players and Positions The 4-4-2 should improve both the offense and the defense. On the defensive side, the 4-4-2 will get Steadman back on the...
Senior Leadership UNC will have outstanding senior leadership in 2005. Probably the best in UNC history. Tarpley, White, Chalupny, Fletcher and...
The Santa Clara Challenge Santa Clara has now defeated UNC in 4 of the last 5 games. 4 out of 5. The Broncos have become the Heel’s worst...
False ties UNC posted a record of 20-1-2 and still managed to lose both the ACC title and the NCAA title. Only 1 loss. After Virginia’s ACC...
Performance Issues UNC has the most talent, depth and national team experience of any team in the country. By far. Not to mention gold...
Reworking the Defense At first glance, the UNC defense had a great year and does not need reworking. The statistics were good. The team allowed...
improvements for next year A lot of changes need to be made to restore UNC to it rightful position. UNC is no longer a top-3 school for the...
