North Carolina Tops North Carolina State in Final Home Game, 23-9 :: Ronnie McGill rushes for 101 yards and a touchdown to lead the Tar Heels.

The winner of today's game between North Carolina and North Carolina State was not going to be a good team. The winner was not going to have beaten a good team. But I'm glad it was us.

It was fitting that the Tar Heels got a win in John Bunting's final home game, and it was even better that the win was over bitter rival N.C. State. Neither team is going to a bowl game. Neither team can say it has had a good season, but I'm glad it was us that won today.

I don't think emotion ever won a ballgame, but I know the players and fans wanted this win for Bunting and the seniors, and it was great to see it happen today. And win Coach Bunting was hoisted on the shoulders of his players, I got goosebumps.

By the way - it's 6:18, and Pack fans are still talking about firing Chuck on 680 WPTF.
