MrTarHeel's blog for UNC Tar Heel fans

Our Tar Heel football fortunes are changing.

Where once our walk on the Kenan stadium concourse was somewhat of a bridge to nowhere just to get us to basketball season it now fills us with pride in the team we support.

I don't know if we will finish 8-4 or 10-2 or 11-1 but I do know that what we have seen so far this year is a team that has embraced the concept of "team". They play for each other and they enjoy winning together. And they never give up.

That's real change.

In the past we have had leadership that left us wondering if they really knew what they were doing.

There is no question that Butch and Company know what they doing. And right now they are leading this program extremely well and giving the players and fans hope for a brighter future for UNC football.

Butch Davis is a reformer. He has taken the failed policies of our football past and discarded them. He has taken players that seemed pretty average a few years ago and helped them become some of the best players in the ACC.

Can the Heels finish strong and be a top 20 team at the end of the year? I don't know. If you asked the players I bet they would give you one answer....

YES WE CAN!

Go Heels!

I was wrong again.

I didn't figure the Heels to be 3-1 at this point. But they are.

Now, they have a good top 25 team coming to Chapel Hill. and an opportunity to start a climb back into the national top 25 conversation.

Win the game. Win lots of hard earned respect and maybe show that the program is progressing faster than we all thought.

Lose the game. Well, that would put the Heels about where many thought.

It should be exciting....I could see the Heels winning this one with the support of a home crowd. I could also see them losing it to a more experienced team.

Either way, I am impressed with the football program at this point. and can't wait for Saturday!
