I shall contend to my dying day that the ONLY thing that salvaged Jimmy V's reputation was his tragic early passing from cancer. "Wiki" Chris Washburn, if you've forgotten what happened there those days, then go steal some aspirins from a drugstore.


Meanwhile, Jim Calhoun is still retired, just like Generalissamo Franco's still dead.

Thomas, only thing I was comparing was how they both retired at the last minute to ensure their replacement. What you saw as a dick move by one was ok for the other. Calhoun may have more negative equity than dean, but you can't argue the similarity here. Though I did miscalculate how you Tarheels deify that man.

As for crap in chapel hill, I'm still being forced to pay Butch Davis' contract. Nice one. holden thorpe is gone, so maybe someone will finally have the guts to fire him now.

As for the straw men:
Upper room is good to go now.
State had a better team when they were out jacking stereos. Les Robinson kept them out of trouble and tourneys. Perhaps this is a good sign.
Jimmy v is remembered because he had cancer? I contend it is the courage that he faced his death with that made him a far greater man than his coaching.
I don't believe Cancer defines a life any more than Alzheimer's.

In case anyone missed it.

And finally, the local and national media have declared the State Carolina rivalry dead. (Funny how they leave out football in those discussions). So it must be true. Now I can move on to harassing Pitt fans. Are there any?
