Actually, Durham is closer to South Bend than is Chapel Hill.
Good point. Withdrawn!
Although I suppose I could have used it metaphorically also, as going from discussing North Carolina basketball to Duke football is quite a precipitous descent.
LOL, Amen on the Dan Brown parallel. Columnists like this have atrociously-selective memory. How convenient to leave out the disasters of the White era: the extension of Bob Davie's contract, the hiring of O'Leeeeery, etc. Need any more proof that White just didn't get ND? Look at the fact that he was even contemplating getting giant LCD video screens for the stadium. Pluheeze.
Yes, it is a pretty sharp drop-off.
For one week, though, I sounded like a pure genius on the blogs and radio shows around here talking about how to not expect Kevin White to be the solution to Duke's football woes.
