North Carolina's 'fainting goats' prank goes viral
North Carolina head coach Larry Fedora has shown he's willing to inject a bit of youth and enthusiasm into the program under his tenure. He came in last year as a bit of a Red Bull-fueled energetic character. But can be down with the youth movement, as well.

Believe it or not the University of North Carolina was once a football school. No, seriously, it's true - granted it was back in the 1940's and all - but still at some point in history the Tar Heel faithful actually cared more about football than basketball and with the hiring of Larry Fedora in December...

UNC Football: Carolina defeats Virginia 37 to 13
Head coach Larry Fedora vs VirginiaIn my recap from the game against Georgia Tech I said the one thing that UNC Football could not do is dwell on that game and turn one loss into a second one.

UNC QB Williams deserves look at starting job
Among the areas of concern facing first-year North Carolina football coach Larry Fedora and his staff is the fairly immediate future of quarterback within the program.
Incumbent starter Bryn Renner is a fine college quarterback. He makes nice reads, throws a good deep ball and can hit the short stuff. He moves fairly well in the pocket and he is a leader in the huddle, on the rare...
