Chapel Bill is in the house.

The new-look Tar Heels are hosting TCU in their first game of the 2025 season—their first under new coach Bill Belichick—and Chapel Hill looked positively electric on Monday night as a result.

Indeed, according to videos shared by those on the scene, Belichick's arrival on campus was something like a royal parade, wherein King Bill—flanked by camera crews, fellow staffers, and the team itself—greeted his rapturous subjects ahead of the night's events.

Take a look at that arrival below:
