In the wake of NC State's disappointing loss to East Carolina, Wolfpack head coach Dave Doeren was spotted on campus Thursday handing out apology doughnuts. This is a pro move, as I will endeavor to explain, though it is apparent that Doeren is somewhat over-using the apology doughnut in this case. You can't just haphazardly saturate a campus' student center and/or your arteries with apology doughnuts. That's no way to a sane world or an efficient apology.
Doeren's gesture naturally leads one to wonder: can, for example, a loss to East Carolina in football be smoothed away by apology doughnuts?
