R.I.P. Buck Rollins

[Beardown]

Longtime UNC coach Buck Rollins passed away recently from a long bout with cancer. He was a good coach! He would certainly out-coach any DC's we've had in recent past. Mustari wrote a touching article about him in today's Tribune. Here's the link:

Reed Doughty posted an RIP for him on twitter. I wasn't aware that he was that involved with the players.

Yea Buck was a great coach and a great person. I had him as an instructor for a class (oops, there goes my age). He knew everyone and never forgot a face ! We could use a couple of Bucks around here !!

Sad days for all Old Bears. I am told the memorial service will be on Sunday at the UC. If anyone wants to see what a huge network of great folks were formed around an extremely successful football program and equally awesome personality that was unique to Buck, just drive by the UC on Sunday and there it will be on full display.

Huge loss for the University, community, and again, all who were associated with Buck Rollins past and present.
