Another elite program having a down year? North Carolina. The Tar Heels also have five losses, which has the usually mild fans in Chapel Hill feeling restless. Like “We’re out of Chardonnay” restless. One alum is so upset that he wrote a letter to the editor of The Daily Tar Heel calling for head coach Roy Williams’ removal. His ideal replacement? John Calipari. Seriously:
TO THE EDITOR:
How did we get to this point where Carolina athletics have deteriorated to such a degree?
Not only has the current administration enabled the University’s reputation to be sullied, but our two major sports teams are a joke.
Our basketball team is no better than a 4A high school team, and Roy appears to be finished.
Maybe we should just ease his pain — and ours — and send him on his way.
Maybe we can pay someone who knows how to coach and win like John Calipari and at least get our basketball program back in shape.
I have always thought Calipari was of questionable ethics and would never fit UNC, but since the Dick Baddour era, we are forever tarnished and that no longer matters.
Let’s just put Roy into retirement and onto the golf course, where he always tells us he prefers to be, and get us a real basketball coach who can at least teach our team how to play aggressive defense before it is too late.
Phillip Bridges ’86
Greenville, S.C.
Small correction, Phillip: Roy prefers to be on the golf course only if he has a Co’Colar in his hand.

unc fans must be out and whine and cheese. wahh wahh wahhh!
Cal would never leave the best job in college for a crappier college job. That’s just stupid talk.

Guess we aren’t the only program that has a select few of these moron fans..
January 14th, 2013 at 11:40 am
2 Said it.
He has brough multiple titles in less than a decade. Before he got there they had missd the tournement. Stupid fans are everywhere.

Has Phillip Bridges seen UK play this season?????
January 14th, 2013 at 11:42 am
Until this past weekend, I didn’t think that UK had the NIT in our near future. Well, I’m rethinking that position. Maybe we will play North Carolina in the NIT Championship game, that is if we don’t get bumped along the way by Northwestern or someone.

This ***** is cryin and these ************* won it in 09′ and 05′…
January 14th, 2013 at 11:43 am
And they call us crazy for losing games
January 14th, 2013 at 11:50 am
The most entertaining thing that could ever happen would be for UNC to pull the coup and hire Coach K, while pushing Roy out the door into retirement. Yep, I’m quite aware that it would never happen, but it would be funny as $h!t.
January 14th, 2013 at 11:51 am
This is pretty funny. I would say we could use it as ammo later on, but I have a feeling Phil Bridges isn’t exactly on UNC’s board of directors, so it’s just another renegade fan that every fanbase has. Still, maybe he would prefer they bring back Matt Doherty.
January 14th, 2013 at 11:58 am
It’s funny how we recognize this is asinine but when our fans do this its justified.
January 14th, 2013 at 12:04 pm
There’s not 1 ugly Hooter’s girl in that photo but everytime I go to Hooter’s I get the fugliest one of the bunch, and there’s usually a few of em. That has to be some sort of End of the Year celebration only inviting the hottest ones in North Carolina, or Ky just really sucks at finding Hooter girls.
January 14th, 2013 at 12:05 pm
This is a guy who doesn’t pay much attention to what’s going on in college basketball. We are no better than Carolina and we have played an easier schedule. Roy boy has earned his stripes at UNC by way of two championships. Every now and then an elite program has a down year. It only becomes a problem when it is a consistent problem. When Roy picks up a moniker along the lines of “Ten Loss Tubby,” it could be that fan disgruntlement is justified. Cal and Roy are two of the best in the business. Cal isn’t going anywhere except to the broadcast booth and the same probably holds true with Williams. They better be happy with what they have or they might wind up with a Billy Gillespie as their coach.
January 14th, 2013 at 12:12 pm
11- that’s because it’s a staged photo-op. Most of the Hooter girls are subcontracted models putting on those Hooter out fits, and they sprinkle those contracted models with 1 or 2 of the hotter ones that actually work at the rest. I’ve got this thing figured out. Everytime I go into a Hooters, there’s atleast 2 that are knocked-up and the others are trash.
~R.I.P Hooters~
January 14th, 2013 at 12:12 pm
11 – i have to agree. These Hooters girls look hotter than most. There’s nothing like starting the week off with a little cleavage.
January 14th, 2013 at 12:16 pm
#13 – Lol I see. You do know what they say about pregnant Hooter girls though? They can’t get any more pregnant.
January 14th, 2013 at 12:19 pm
13 – Very true. The last few times ive been to Hooters Ive had trash. The last time I had one that was 7 months pregnant but still smoking cigarettes and the time before that I had one that was missing teeth and appeared to be on drugs.
January 14th, 2013 at 12:19 pm
Anybody else notice the Hooters girl’s arm chilling on Roy Williams crotch? At least he’s getting some action this season.
January 14th, 2013 at 12:20 pm
^ that’s why he’s grinning so big!
January 14th, 2013 at 12:24 pm
I think Hooter’s has two types of employees. There are those girls that actually work in the restaurants and they can be marginal at best and then they have the marketing ladies that go out and take pictures. I frankly have not had the marketing level actually bring me a beer.
January 14th, 2013 at 12:28 pm
UK is a bigger/better job than UNC. Cal would never take that job. Would be a step down form where he is now.
January 14th, 2013 at 12:30 pm
Big Whoop, we need more replies on here like yours. Well said!
January 14th, 2013 at 12:30 pm
15- hhaaha. truer words have never been spoken
16- I know man, it’s kinda depressing how far Hooters has fallen.
January 14th, 2013 at 12:33 pm
There is twelve of them. Must be the hooters calendar girls. No wonder!
January 14th, 2013 at 12:35 pm
The Kentucky head coach job isn’t just the best job in college sports it may be the best coaching job in all of sports.
I mean seriously, Coach Cal is more important that any state figure and he is worshiped like a God around these parts.
When winning, as Cal has, this is the best place to be in all of sports. Just ask Pitino
January 14th, 2013 at 12:37 pm
How white can shoes actually be? They must’ve dropped in from a helicopter.
January 14th, 2013 at 12:40 pm
So let me get this right… Chollie wants the Tard fans to be like BBN fans. Pitino wants his team to play like past UK champions. And now The Tar Heels want our coach. Yeah, we have no clue what we’re doing in Lexington. Gold standard.
January 14th, 2013 at 12:42 pm
I’ve been to the Hooters in San Diego several times and I have to say I’ve yet to see an fuggly one there. Now the food tastes like carboard soaked in old peanut oil, but the sights are very pleasing to the eyes.
It used to be, it would bother me to no end when we’d lose a game especially at home because of the lack of hustle or shooting. With this team it’s all correctable, I’m just not sure if they’re all on the same page or not nor do they want to be. Noel and WCS is playing like they’re on a mission, but I just can’t say it about the rest of the team. We rely WAY too much on the 3, especially when it isn’t falling.
Maybe the N.I.T. is in our future, but the one thing you can bet on unless these kids wake up PDQ that’s going to be the best offer we get. GO CATS, and in Cal I trust!

#24 Nick Saban and Alabama football would argue with you on that one
January 14th, 2013 at 12:47 pm
I hope you look at this and think “WOW, they had the most talent on a team last year, they were (other than UK) probally 1 of the few teams that could win it easy, this is craziness. How stupid can the fans of UNC be. Well, lets just not jump the gun and look into the mirror. I LOVE UK BASKETBALL & I LOVE BBN, but there is 1 little thing that bothers me about us, we wine and complain just as crazy as they do. So i hope watching this year, we can take a step back and KNOW, this is 1 of the youngest teams in UK history (if not the youngest), it may take more time. Hell they may not get it, but WE (BBN) HAVE TO KEEP OUR COMPOSURE. Look at next year, and the next year, and the next year. We are going to have bad years, this isn’t even a bad year in my eyes. We STILL have more talent than almost anyone. Whether we win it or lose it, I’m trying to not be so hard and not get so upset. I LOVE my UK team this year, and I’ll love it next year. #GOBIGBLUE #REMEMBERWEAREUK

Roy Williams has 2 NCAA championships and 3 final fours at UNC. Even with an 11-5 strart this season, he hasa nearly 80% WL average. His last championship came in 2009. If he can’t satisfy the Tarheel fans, why would any elete coach take the job?
January 14th, 2013 at 1:26 pm
It’s ironic that he finishes the first sentence with “to such a DEGREE”. Ha!
January 14th, 2013 at 3:41 pm
At first glance I thought (hoped) this was the preview of the UT cheerleaders. Alas.
January 14th, 2013 at 6:06 pm
Roy Williams is a narcissistic prick.
January 14th, 2013 at 7:11 pm
I would say that there’s enough wool there to make a sweater…but this IS 2013.
January 14th, 2013 at 8:23 pm
Adam Lucas responds line by line to the idiot. Every fan base has ‘em. SMH.
