Editor reviews

From the start, Ken Rappoport sets the humorous tone of this collection by noting that the Tar Heels' first coach in the early 1900s was a man named Nat "Bloody Neck" Cartmell. Despite his gruesome nickname and missing fingers, Cartmell was so unassuming that the police refused to arrest him when he confessed to a misdeed. Narrator David Marantz follows Rappoport's lead with an upbeat performance, which he tempers with earnestness as the team deals with social issues like racism.

Fans will get a glimpse into each decade of the Tar Heels' history with anecdotes that sometimes amuse, sometimes inspire, sometimes move the heart, but always entertain.
