UNC Football: We Appreciate Your Patience
Please continue to hold; a representative will be with you shortly. Football has always been an all-or-nothing sport. The players that suit up every week of the season do so knowing that there is a tightrope that they walk, one where anything less than total commitment will lead to a fall. You have to make a commitment to a team, to step up and be ready when the play comes your way. You have to make a commitment to the coach who is trusting you to do what you’ve been training to do all offseason. You have to make a commitment to make that first tackle, that first shot you get at someone wearing a different jersey. If any of that commitment falters, you’re watching your season crumble. You’re watching from the sidelines. You’re watching your man streak down the sideline for six. You’re stuck waiting, watching for an opportunity that may not come again. Sometimes it shakes out that way—sometimes the parting memory is a painful one.
