Everyone in town is anxiously awaiting the “South’s Oldest Rivalry” game this weekend when our red-hot Wahoos travel to Chapel Hill to take on the nationally-ranked Tar Heels. Though underdogs, it’s hard to find anyone who thinks the Heels are going to really ROLL. Seeing as the Hoos won a shootout last year (see Shane Simpson talk about it below) and the three games before that, plus the Heels’ Week 1 stinker vs. Virginia Tech, that’s not a huge shocker.
