Bob Holliday: Tar Heels Getting Worse

Posted Oct 20, 2006

Before the game in Charlottesville, UNC football coach John Bunting confronted linebacker Garrett White, who apparently had made an obscene gesture toward the Virginia crowd. White was told to watch the game in street clothes. Bunting's keeping a tight rein on player mis-conduct has probably helped his university's image. You get the feeling North Carolina's bench would never go running across the field swinging helmets at its opposition. (WRAL.com)
