TBH, I'm surprised we're ranked that high. I know one thing, we're going to start steadily creeping up that list. Good things in store for UNC football.

I could have sworn we were higher in the Justice era than #7.

Ah, the good ol' days. Wait, I wasn't even born. Wouldn't it be nice to be ranked numero uno again?

That's what I was thinking: that we had been #2 while Choo Choo played.

Think how great it would be to be #2 and beat #1 Notre Dame.
 
This can't be correct. A wolfdog told me after the 35-7 state win a couple of years ago that the outcome wasn't surprising because we had no football history in comparison to ncs pew. In fact, he informed me that the wolfdog's football history placed them just outside of the upper echelon of college football. I considered the source and just laughed. Surprisingly though, he did have most of his teeth.
