Michael Jordan Caught on Camera Celebrating as Vintage Bill Belichick Starts off UNC Era With Early TD

Bill Belichick’s arrival at North Carolina couldn’t have had a more electrifying opening. On Labor Day, RB Caleb Hood bulldozed through the line for an 8-yard rushing touchdown, announcing the dawn of the Belichick era. The Tar Heels’ opening drive — seven plays, 83 yards, under four minutes — showcased a thrilling balance of power and precision, run and pass moving in perfect harmony. Kenan Memorial Stadium erupted as if the walls themselves were cheering, every fan on their feet, hearts racing. And in the midst of it all, Michael Jordan, caught on camera, couldn’t contain his delight, witnessing history in the making as Belichick’s new chapter at UNC roared to life.

“The dignitaries pleased with the way the festivities have started here for the Heels, Kirk.”
