The Heels (5-4, 1-3 ACC) left a hushed Lane Stadium with an improbable last second 20-17 victory after Casey Barth (who appears here to be every bit of 15-years-old) made a chip shot field goal (21 yards) on the final play of the game.

The school says Friday that starting fullback Bobby Rome and defensive tackle Jordan Nix have tested positive for "probable" swine flu. Neither player practiced this week for the No. 19 Tar Heels (1-0).

The below video is from UNC's victory against Miami and proof enough that playing special teams is exactly what you want to avoid. The blocker takes a ridiculous hit and his helmet goes flying 20 feet in the air. Awesome stuff. Click through for the video. WOW.

As both North Carolina colleges kicked off their NCAA Football campaigns yesterday, a skydiver was supposed to land in the UNC stadium for some pregame festivities. After some miscommunication / misunderstanding, he arrived in Durham and Duke's pregame. Ummmm?.. this is weird!

One usually thinks of a child killing his or her parent to escape an abusive situation or over a dispute about money. It usually doesn't occur because the son wants to be the UNC mascot. Former mascot Rameses XVII was given a Kool Moe Dee Death Blow by his son, Pablo during a battle over the right to lead the Tar Heels football team out on the field this fall.
