Butch Davis’ program is “nowhere” in year three
Don’t take my word for it. Listen to one of UNC’s resident motor-mouths, Marvin Austin. In preparation for today’s game, the Charlotte Observer reminded the world how the North Carolina football program is not yet considered ‘elite’ despite two straight seasons of Meineke Car Care Bowl appearances after winning a whopping 66% of their regular [...]

With 16 scholarship players out and two more defensive starters hurt during the game, the Wolfpack looked like longer shots than the oddsmakers’ mere touchdown. – WSJ.com ESPN2’s Todd McShay and Robert Smith had nice things to say about the Wolfpack and the win in their post-game comments…and, I appreciate them focusing on the winners today [...]

This came to me on an email earlier today, and I see that it’s being discussed elsewhere. For any of you who don’t frequent other sites, I didn’t want you to miss out on this gem. Check the 26 second mark of the video. Woody has that typical Tar Heel trait that [...]

Saturday, September 19, 2009
A few weeks ago we discussed UNC Football’s sudden and previously unexplained bout with Stunted Growth Syndrome. If you didn’t get a chance to read it, please take time to do so. The links are summarized, but the meat of the stories linked are quite informative beyond the blurbs. Essentially for the [...]

Thursday, August 20, 2009
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. You could obviously help your odds a bit by wearing a mask to work, confining yourself to a bubble, and/or canceling your vacation to that third-world-country paradise resort. [...]

Saturday, December 20, 2008
One of the traditions of the annual Shrine Bowl in Charlotte are speeches from the states’ major college coaches. Yesterday, Tom O’Brien, Steve Spurrier, Dabo Sweeny, and David Cutcliffe were on-hand to give their remarks — but due to the weather, UNC’s Butch Davis missed his turn at the mike. Thanks to an insider tip, we’ve [...]

Tuesday, December 2, 2008
Final Update: Irisheyes.com, the Scout Notre Dame football franchise, reports that Charlie Weis is set to return for 2009. The discussion below is not for nothing, however, as the fact is that Tom O’Brien will become a person of interest for bigger programs looking to improve their coaching situation.

Wednesday, November 12, 2008
Updated: Since some UNC fans were wondering why the UNC ticket office informed them that the UNC allotment had been sold out, I wanted to provide the updated from the author at the Washington Times: By: pstevens All— I just sent this in an e-mail to a curious Carolina fans, but figured I’d toss it out here as well: Just [...]

Sunday, November 9, 2008
Just ask any Tarheel fan and they will be sure to tell you that there is nothing to the story. And, of course, why would anyone ever leave Chapel Hill by their own choosing. (Shhhh…don’t mention Mack Brown). Link to story Tennessee has tabbed North Carolina coach Butch Davis as the leading candidate to replace [...]

Monday, October 6, 2008
Link to Sports Illustrated article. I share this link and this topic for multiple reasons, including the broad fact that it is generally interesting news.

Monday, April 14, 2008
Butch Davis is pulling out all the stops to attract top players to UNC.

It seemed like odd timing for Adams to commit so early in the process, [...]

Thursday, November 29, 2007
For all the potential laughs that are there in this peculiar and outrageous tale of bad judgment in Chapel Hill, there’s very little that’s really funny about it. UNC-Chapel Hill presumably wants to be taken seriously, by its peers and its constituents. Contrary to what even some trustees are arguing, building a behemoth of an [...]

Thursday, November 22, 2007
Caulton Tudor doesn’t like the way that Butch Davis handled his contract extension. In fact, friends in Chapel Hill have told SFN that Davis has burned up a lot of good will in the process. Tudor is pretty critical of Chief Butch as evidenced by the following quote: extension and raise are an absurd development [...]

Tuesday, November 28, 2006
When you expect someone to be incompetent and ultra-biased then it is nearly impossible for that person’s views or actions to cause a surprise. Therefore, when you consider that the N&O’s resident racist (Barry Saunders) found a way to reach new levels of incompetence and bias today then you wonder what is next out there. For [...]
