The state of college football in North Carolina entering November brings to mind a humorous meme. Perhaps you’ve seen it on Twitter, or elsewhere. It’s the one with an elderly-looking man getting held up near his car. He pretends to suffer a medical emergency and pleads with his would-be robber to call an ambulance.
“But not for me,” he says a second later, revealing that he’s armed and ready to defend himself.
This comes to mind because this is usually a vulnerable time for college football aficionados in this state. It’s a time, usually, when a lot of North Carolina college football fans are ready to put to bed another disappointing season and move on to the sport for which this state is best known.
