On Monday Night, everyone showed up in Chapel Hill, NC expecting a coronation as Bill Belichick and the North Carolina Tar Heels were going to establish themselves as a new power in College Football. Famous Alumni and ESPN's best crew showed up for the game and in the end they were all on hand to watch a beatdown as Sonny Dykes' TCU team demolished the Belichick led Tar Heels 48-14.
As if the punishment on the field wasn't bad enough, the TCU Horned Frogs took it to North Carolina in incredible fashion on social media.
The ESPN Broadcast made sure to let everyone know that Lawrence Taylor AKA LT was in attendance rooting on his alma mater North Carolina. Well, the TCU Horned Frogs have their own LT in Ladainian Tomlinson who may be the real LT according to TCU.

When Ohio State shut down the Texas offense with Matt Patricia calling plays, everyone wondered if Bill Belichick might have the same effect. The short answer is no.

The good news for North Carolina fans and Bill Belichick is this game set the expectations back in a place where they should be. This team was never going to to win the ACC or establish themselves as a "33rd NFL Team" in the first year of the Bill Belichick era. Now with expectations set back at 0, Belichick and his staff can fade away from some of the spotlight for awhile and improve the team.
