UNC's Davis has sights on BCS bowl

Posted Nov 28, 2006

In his first meeting with his new team Monday morning, Butch Davis gave his North Carolina players their first big homework assignment. The new UNC football coach asked the Tar Heels to think long and hard about their goals and return next week to share those aspirations in an open forum. “No one should ever define for you what successes you can have,” Davis told his players. “Nobody’s going to dictate to us what we can accomplish except us.” (Fayetteville Observer)
