I grew up caddying at Oakmont Country Club just outside of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It is a great golf course that hosts major tournaments regularly. Some of my coaching philosophy was developed there as a teenager helping...

Creating An Awful State

Perfect. Carolina left its arch football rival in an awful State Saturday after awakening a dead offense to score 18 points in the fourth quarter and startle the smug Wolfpack, which played most of the second half like it had...

Fans 'Freak' Over Loss

Posted by Staff | Oct 22, 2012 | Uncategorized

The better team on Saturday night at “The Wally” won on Saturday night. That’s how it often works but not always. To say that the game was not as close as the final score (33-30) would be correct but is simply too painful to...

Analyze This: Duke Was Better

Posted by Art Chansky | Oct 21, 2012 | Art's Angle

DURHAM – Carolina’s heart-pounding fourth-quarter loss to Duke Saturday night will be analyzed and picked over like an unsolved crime. Motives. Methods. Missing plays and players. On a beautiful night in a stadium that has not...

Art's Angle: Little Big Man

Posted by Art Chansky | Oct 14, 2012 | Art's Angle

Gio is Gio and a win is a win. Fortunately for the Tar Heels, those two things have to go hand in hand to pull out a beautifully ugly 18-14 victory over Miami for the first road W of the Larry Fedora era. Carolina did a lot of...

Butch Davis' Job Interview

Posted by Art Chansky | Oct 12, 2012 | Art's Angle

Jeff Gravley’s softball interview with Butch Davis came off as just another smooth move by the former Carolina football coach. This time, at least, Davis looked and acted better than on the self-serving YouTube video he...

Of Kidneys And Kane

It’s safe to say Roy Williams’ annual preseason meeting with the media Thursday was the strangest of his 25-year head coaching career. Obviously, the first question was about Williams’ health, and he revealed some details of...
