Posted Sep 18, 2006

North Carolina coach John Bunting opened his postgame meeting with the media with a joke. "There are no defensive players in here," Bunting said. "I've killed them all." Who could have blamed him? The Tar Heels gave up 521 total yards in its 45-42 win over Furman on Saturday. (Raleigh News & Observer)
