One of the good things about the Belk Bowl is you can get up the day of the game and drive to the game. Extra treat today Is Carrie Underwood will be performing at fan fest two hours before the game. Good friend and fellow Wolfpacker Andy Holt will be with me. He and I went together to the ACC basketball Tournament this past season.
The weather forecast is calling for thunder showers which is always a possibility during football games when it is outside. I will be prepared with rain gear and will sit in any amount of rain unless lightning.
I think it was 1999 and the Wolfpack was playing South Carolina on ESPN Thursday night football and Lou Holtz was the coach at South Carolina. There was a tropical storm passing through the area and it never had a bolt of lightning all night. It did however pour down most of the game and I mean came down in buckets at least three quarters of the game.
I had one of those clear plastic Ponchos on and during the entire game the only place I was wet was my feet where I was either standing in water or it was running down my poncho until it ended just below my knees.
The game ended and the Pack won 10-0 and as I am heading to my car a gust of win practically rips my poncho off and the last 100 yards as I was running to the car I have no poncho at all and I was soaked through and through.
I have always been a person who stays to the last play and if it rains during the game I hope the walk back to the car I will now be wearing a hooded jacket it will still be on when we get back to the car.
North Carolina has played the ACC championship and now their bowl game The Russell Athletic Bowl as if last year's defense is back in uniform. They gave up 45 to Clemson and 49 to Baylor. Where did the defense that played do well all season go?

UNC D Coordinator made no adjustments to stop wildcat run. Continue to play four on the line with linebackers 8 yards off the line. To make in-game adjustments is why they pay the coordinators the big bucks and UNC D Coordinator did not .... Continued with the same D scheme and they paid the price.
Beat down ... plain and simple. Doeren better get it turned around in Raleigh fast or Debbie Yow will be searching again!
