North Carolina Football: Heels in the Pro’s (Sept 23, 2012) {Early Games}

After having watched UNC defeat ECU yesterday the North Carolina football fan base must be ready for the former Tar Heels at the next level. In this post I will be looking at the Sunday early games, which in all are nine. Of those seven have former UNC players in them, xx with ex Tar Heels on both sidelines. As usual to gather my information I have used information used UNC Pro’s and ourlads web sites, along with some information I gathered as well. But now, with further interruptions, let’s get going with the seven early games for Sunday, September 23, 2012…

And there you have it, the seven early games from Sunday, September 23, 2012. One interesting tid bit, none of the teams that have former Carolina players on them are still undefeated. So, even if we are still in the first quarter of the season a lot of these games are “must wins” for those franchises.
