OK, so I lied when I said I was taking a Bunting break. Actually, what I said was I was taking a break barring any new information which this most definitely qualifies. Caulton Tudor, who I am presently putting aside years of previously held animosity because he is so spot-on correct in his analysis of [...] Continue reading Another Bunting Article Brian Barbour on September 29th, 2006 |  Comments are closed Since UNC is off this week and I have exhausted myself of further need to discuss the John Bunting issue I thought it would be nice to take a look at what else is happening in college football and which games I will probably catch this weekend. It all began last night actually with Auburn [...] Continue reading Elsewhere in College Football Brian Barbour on September 29th, 2006 | Comments are closed Two weeks until the start of practice. Six weeks until UNC takes the floor in a meaningful game. Given the woes over at Kenan it cannot come soon enough. Tar Heel Blue has a few articles up this week including player profiles by Adam Lucas on Reyshawn Terry and Wes Miller as well as commentary [...] Continue reading Oh, That Sweet, Sweet Roundball… Brian Barbour on September 28th, 2006 | Comments are closed Wow! Time flies when you are trying to force a coach out the door. Four ACC teams have a bye this week: NC State, Maryland, Florida State and North Carolina. All three could probably use the rest though UNC’s case this is technically the second straight bye week for them since no one in their [...] Continue reading ACC Football Week #5: Preview Brian Barbour on September 28th, 2006 | Comments are closed Over the past five days we have seen a flurry of media activity as well as a high level of message board chatter all pointing to John Bunting’s potential ouster at UNC. Since this is also a bye week for the Tar Heels it really drove the focus of the media and this blogger since [...] Continue reading The John Bunting Watch Roundup For reasons that pass understanding someone over at the News and Observer allowed Dennis Rogers to wander over into the sports section and pen a heartfelt missive expressing his affection for John Bunting. The hyenas are closing in on a wounded John Bunting. Demands that he be fired as the head football coach at Carolina [...] Continue reading Dennis Rogers Supports Bunting First let me say I like Steve Logan on 620 the Bull and have great respect for his opinion on football matters. That being said I also think he is wrong in his analysis of the Bunting situation. Logan spent a lot of time yesterday placing the blame for UNC’s loss at Clemson on the [...] Continue reading Steve Logan on UNC Brian Barbour on September 27th, 2006 | Comments are closed According to David Glenn it is the attrition of personnel for various reasons, some of them not so good. Bunting basically has a hole in the middle of his program. He has lost so many players via attrition, for so many different reasons, that he finds himself playing catch-up in terms of personnel on an [...] Continue reading And What is Bunting’s Most Daunting Problem? Brian Barbour on September 26th, 2006 | Comments are closed “It was the best of times, it was the blurst of times? Stupid monkey!” -Montgomery Burns, The Simpsons Remember a few weeks ago before the season even started and every day NC State’s Chuck Amato got a question about the hot seat? The Sunday before the season started the N&O devoted a huge article to [...] Continue reading Tale of Two Coaches Brian Barbour on September 26th, 2006 | Comments are closed So now it begins. John Bunting, with all the other problems he has, also fell prey to one of the classic football blunders. Never lose big going into a bye week. Losing big before a bye means you are stuck talking about how bad your team was and in this case fielding questions about your [...] Continue reading The John Bunting Watch It looks like I am a little late to the party. Caulton Tudor fired the first salvo in the “Fire John Bunting” war this morning. I purposely have not read it because I was in the middle of writing my own manifesto against the beleagured Tar Heel coach. I had originally planned to wait until [...] Continue reading The Case Against John Bunting Brian Barbour on September 23rd, 2006 | Comments are closed Thursday, September 21st Georgia Tech 24 Virginia 7 The only question I had after this game is why does Calvin Johnson see the ball so little when he is so obviously a great receiver. Granted he got six catches for 165 yards but in the two previous games against weaker opponents(and I use that term [...] Continue reading ACC Football Week #4: Review |
