Get off the roller coaster

Posted Jan 17, 2014
Saturday afternoon should be the last time anyone at North Carolina utters P.J. Hairston’s name. He’s not an excuse. He’s not a scapegoat. He certainly shouldn’t be the reason for the team’s 0-3 ACC start. The Tar Heels will suit up in their home white jerseys Saturday, ready to face Boston College. Hairston will be 1,182 miles away, donning a new dark blue jersey, stitched with No. 19, his new number. (Daily Tar Heel)
