After all, I chose this year to start getting season tickets because I figure it might not be much longer before Butch has this team doing so well that season tickets wouldn't be available. In all honesty, if I had to pick a record to go with, I'd say we finish 7-5, including breaking the streak in Charlottesville. Believe me, I hope I’m wrong too.

There have been several players to change positions to make us a stronger team. I do think we'll make HUGE steps this season. There has been a big influx of speed. However, as I'm typing I think a big question is, Can we replace Connor at PK? Tis the life of a Tar Heel football fan. I hope you’re wrong Dshwind! ;-)

The problem is that 5-7 is not outside the realm of possibility. Who knows what we'll see from Notre Dame? NC State and Dook are still unknown variables. We have to play in Charlottesville, and we all know how much of a pain that is. Ga. Tech now has an option offense, which has been known to give us fits. And Miami, even when rebuilding is no pushover. That said, I'll be rooting hard for Butch and his boys and regardless of this year, I think we're going to take HUGE steps forward in the 2009 season.

One would think odds would be in our favor to win some of those close ones. Of course we dodged a huge bullet last year in the form of the Duke game. Our QB play should be much improved due tothe running game with Little and Womble as legit tailbacks. Recievers and H-backs are going to be a strong point. We still need some newcomers to step up on defense but out speed at LB and the secondary will be something we've not seen in many years. Tar Heel fans should be very excited about the season!
