Great trivia from the mothership

A Little Bit of History Repeating:
An adept Tar Heel and Connor Barth fan reminded us that: K Connor Barth kicked against KR Devin Hester when Barth was at UNC and Hester was at the University of Miami. It was October 30, 2004, a historic game for University of North Carolina in Kenan Stadium. Barth’s directional kickoffs held Hester to no significant returns, and the true freshman won the game for UNC, beating Miami (Top 5 ranked team) when he booted a 42-yard field goal with three seconds left on the clock. The kick made the inside spread of Sports Illustrated the next week.

I hope Barth can still aim those kickoffs...I would be a shame if he lost the battle with Novak because Hester embarrassed us tomorrow night.

The kind mothership also posted a link so you could watch Barth win it

Nice find

That’s comforting I guess….

The youtube video is ridiculous

the fans, of course, demolish the goalposts. What do you expect when a basketball school upsets a rival who is ranked #2 at the time?

Word

At least we know he kicks well under pressure. To make the game winning kick against a team that you shouldn’t have even had a chance against… and in the final seconds. This kid has ice in his veins.

Nothing against Novak, but I’ll be pissed if we don’t keep Barth. I guess I should wait to watch the preseason before I jump off that bridge. But I’m sold on him so far.
