let's get one thing straight - i bleed wolfpack red and am looking for every possible reason to hope the tarheels lay an egg in charlotte, so this is hardly an unbiased analysis. on paper, charlotte does not match up very well with the heels, to say the least. but with the belichick story being written in chapel hill, all kinds of intangibles come into play.
only in chapel hill would the admin believe that they could open the checkbook wide and instantly fix their football problem by bringing in a 73 year old man who has never coached a single college game, an entirely new coaching staff that, for the most part, has no college experience, 70 new players that have never played together, and become instantly competitive at the top level of ncaa football. but all the tar heel faithful believed. while tickets sales lagged in the recent past, unc immediately raised season and regular game ticket prices by 40% and sold every single ticket, both season and individual game tickets. at the kickoff of the tcu game, every seat was filled and celebrities abounded; halfway through the third quarter the place was mostly empty. we're left to speculate on what effect that will have on the players, mostly young kids who have never had that experience, guided by coaches who have never had to prepare college players after such an experience.
for today, heels are off a very short week and traveling after having played tcu on monday night, while charlotte is off a long week having played last friday at home. 49ers have several tarheel rejects, including qb sam harrell, who transferred from unc last year after seeing the writing on the wall. also, unc qb is questionable at best with a significant back injury suffered against tcu. college games sometimes dont play out the way they do on paper. if anything, the pressure on the heels is even greater today than on monday. distinct possibility the heels blow the 49ers out today, but im taking some of my monday night winnings and putting a unit on charlotte +14 (-120) and half unit on charlotte +315 1st half and +420 for the game.
