No need to play football this year! Hokies Win it All

Timeline of Carolina Circling the Drain (Tuesday Update)
[UPDATE 08/31/2010, 10:55AM: Thanks to Clarksa for the following visual.] We’ve heard a lot in the past few days about Carolina’s agent-gate, their excuses, and their hintings at a loss of institutional control.

The Illogical Hilarity of UNC Fans Making Excuses
