Last week, you had the opportunity to vote in a poll about which UNC sports figure should go in the same spot where Silent Sam once stood. If you missed the poll, click on the article to see the choices and a small blurb about each of them.

There can only be one person memorized on what would be considered the front porch of the University, though, and by a wide margin the vote made it clear that that person should be Dean Smith.
