Heavy Burden

Posted Oct 26, 2011
This has been a marathon of misery as far as the NCAA accusations, which will come to a head on Friday, and the firing of Coach Butch Davis one week before the season started. Chancellor Holden Thorp has done nothing to help these kids. What I learned from speaking with parents is that this team cares so deeply about their coaches that they are putting too much pressure on themselves to win so the coaching staff will be retained at season's end.
