Posted Jul 28, 2011
By firing Butch Davis, the holier-than-thou segment of the University of North Carolina is going to crow how Carolina did the right thing in the end, how UNC has maintained its integrity.

The people who did this took the easy road because they did not have the wherewithal to battle bad publicity. (Tar Heel Illustrated)
