The Short List

Now that UNC has given John Bunting his noticed aside from groveling about for our dignity during the last five games of the season, the administration will be engaging in a coaching search.

One More Thing on the Bunting Rumor

Since UNC is out of action having played Thursday night, I will be blogging on the lighter side between now and Monday unless something breaks.

As for yesterday’s little non-starter it was a nice diversion. I still maintain something is afoot within the UNC administration or the board of trustees. I maintain this was either [...]
