Dan Wiederer of the Fayetteville Observer is writing a book entitled Blue Streak about UNC’s 2009 national championship team due for release early this year. Wiederer was interviewed this morning by Adam Gold and Joe Ovies on 620 the Buzz.

I am going to close it down until Saturday when Butch Davis and the Tar Heels head to the Car Care Bowl against Pitt. In the meantime enjoy the next couple of days with friends and family. It has been quite a year for UNC fans and of all the “gifts” we received this year, [...] Continue reading Have A Merry Christmas Today is Media Day for the the 2009-10 basketball season. Practice officially kicks off tomorrow at UNC’s Late Night with Roy festivities. Before we delve into the season ahead, let’s take one more look back at the 2009 National Champions.
