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.

Saturday, August 28, 2010
In an absolutely fantastic analogy and put in a way that only BobLee can, his August 19 column hits the nail square on the head. I love this so much because it’s not coming from an excitable State fan or a joyous Duke fan, it’s coming from the tried and true and the bluest of [...]

Thursday, August 12, 2010
Question: If a press conference is held where nothing is said…has a press conference really been held at all? I don’t have a lot of time today so I can’t have my normal commentary right now. But, on the heels of this absolutely fantastic discussion, the ‘leadership’ at UNC-CH broke their public silence and held [...]

Don’t take my word for it. Listen to one of UNC’s resident motor-mouths, Marvin Austin.

Duke football is dealing with a near-epidemic case of Swine Flu, and to date there isn’t much you can do to avoid a random H1N1 attack.
