If Steve's reporting it, it's happening.

Not terribly surprised. UNC is wanting local OOC games since the ACC schedule spreads them out. They even scheduled an OOC series with Wake in years they don't play them in league.

This could be cathartic for App fans who see Chapel Hill as the slave masters.

Another poster is noting it is a home and home PLUS a money/bank game. This is great. Having an in state payday in addition to a home and home is fantastic.

I've been sitting on this for a couple of months now. Glad it's out.

This is a perfect example of why App gave up being the big fish in a small pond in order to swim with bigger fish.

The home games scheduled since going FBS alexceed expectations, to say the least.
Miami
Wake Forest
ECU

Good regional games, like
Marshall
Old Dominion
Southern Miss
Charlotte

Shoot, with UNC potentially on deck, that leaves just Duke and NC State among the long list of FBS teams in NC not to have a scheduled visit to Boone.

I could not be more pleased with effort put forth by the athletic department in scheduling these non conference home games.

Athletics Director, Doug Gillin, and staff are on fire. It is impressive for G5 to get P5 games even in rich recruiting areas or large alumni bases like Norfolk or Charlotte, but to get them to Boone is quite a coup. The entire Sun Belt is lining up awesome home and home games.

Yep. This has been bubbling for a while now. While I'm not particularly fond of the Tar Babies and it will honestly nauseate me to see that much light blue in Boone, the positive is this makes it awfully hard for NC State and Duke not to make the trip to Boone. Doug Gillin is gettin it done!

Heck YES!!! As an App grad who grow up a Carolina fan, I am elated to see this happen. Been hearing talks about this for years now, glad to finally have it. I plan on being at all games. (rocking the black and gold btw).

Impressive get! I think the rest of the Belt ( especially GS) is jealous of your ability to pull P5s! We know UT won't happen but it'd be nice to get TCU and A&M.

Way to go Apps! I'm hoping we can get some ACC home and home series as well.

With stadium expansion on the horizon, and Miami, Wake, and UNC at home, this should make scheduling at lot easier. I now see no reason why we can't get any of the in state P5's and regional P5's in Boone moving forward. Next on my wish list in order, NC State, Duke, WVU, GT, Vandy, and Kentucky. Exciting times in Boone. The naysayers are getting less and less every year. GO APP!!

GS's heat on their AD must be getting warmer. DG is a magician.

I think the next test will be trying to pull a P5 from a conference other than the ACC. That would show some national branding. I fully believe all of the ones you listed are in the realm of possibility except WVU. I'm just not sure where they would stand on that. I think a school we should key on is Mizzou because that's where Gillan came from and he still has strong ties there.

I can think of a reason: They flat out say - No chance. We are very familiar with this reason.
