Every once in a while, on the rare occasion when his team had played a truly awful game, Dean Smith would stand up in front of his North Carolina basketball team the next day holding a copy of the game-tape in his hands.
"I'm burning this," he would say. "There's no point in even looking at it. We don't have to torture ourselves to know we were awful."
Jeff Monken might be well-advised to take a page from Smith's book this week. Knowing Monken, he will force himself to look at all 60 disastrous minutes of Saturday's 35-18 loss to North Texas in Michie Stadium.
