Per Harrington:

The oldest coach in the FBS knows a thing or two about traveling on the road to open the season.

There’s no love lost between Mack Brown and P.J. Fleck, despite the fact that North Carolina beat Minnesota by 18 points last season. That game was in Chapel Hill though, and now Brown anticipates that his team will be walking into a snakepit when they enter Huntington Bank Stadium on Thursday night.

After all, it’s going to be a sellout crowd, and all of the fans will be in gold looking for revenge. Noise level are going to be high, which is why Brown is preaching discipline to his players throughout fall camp. He wants to limit the silly penalties like false starts, offsides and late hits that plagued the team last year. However, there will be 50,000-plus fans looking to put that discipline to the test.

Brown feels there’s something special about the team he’s fielding for the 2024 season, and enjoys coaching them everyday.

“It’s been the most fun camp I ever been around because the guys have done everything we’ve asked them to do,” Brown said. “They been ready to practice every time, they haven’t had a bad practice, we’ve had tremendous leadership, and this is the best leadership we’ve had on this team since I’ve been here.”


Go Gophers!!
 

Mack Brown has not won more than 9 games in a season since 2009.
 







"Hostile" environment? Hey, hey, hey now!

We're Minnesotans. We are never hostile.

A more accurate headline would read:

Mack Brown preparing his Tar Heels for passive aggressive road environment​
