the only thing i want to know is if TJ Yates is clean

8/27/2010 4:08:13 AM

^ he's probably one the fans wish was cheating so they could get rid of him.

From IC:

Quote :

"If these "INFRACTIONS" were done by a group of non-athletes, what would be the punishment? Hmmm??"

That's a good question, actually. I doubt academic dishonesty is part of The Carolina Way.

Quote :

"At this point I don't care. Play them beat the crap out of LSU and even if they take th win away they don't give it to LSU and everyone knows we still beat them."

Quote :

"this could be something as simple as one isolated instance with a student-athlete and tutor"

Or nine isolated instances

Quote :

"They might as well punish them for lifting weights if they are gonna do it for this, that happens everywhere and believe me, I don't like it either, but it's what is done, a part of football. "

CHillyDoggy does not understand The Carolina Way!

"I'm done with UNC athletics, slightly ashamed of my degree."

haha See you in basketball season, TylerBloodyTyler!

Nightmare on Franklin St:

Losing most of the starting defense and Greg Little to ineligibility/suspensions, yet TJ Yates is clean.

Also from IC

Quote :

"Or the lynching thread about Ty Lawson on WolfWeb. I actually brought printed copies of that thread to a doctoral class I was taking at State at the time, suggesting that race relations on campus were not what they should be. EVERY African-American in the class agreed with me, including the professor, and although the material was very sensitive, several expressed gratitude that I, as a concerned white man, brought it up."

8/27/2010 7:45:21 AM

Unfortunately I was only able to catch the last 5 minutes of the press conference. I take it that not much was said.

The 5 minutes that I did catch were interesting though. That one guy's speech was... so... halted... that the only explanation I could come up with was that he had an earpiece with a lawyer feeding him what to say and he'd pause in order to listen better.

"This is what the alums know is the "Carolina way." Your word is your bond. If there are students who cheat, then they are out. Cheaters do it to themselves."

Perfect example of Carolina arrogance. HEY WE'RE DIFFERENT FROM ALL THE OTHER SCHOOLS BECAUSE AT CAROLINA WE'RE NOT ALLOWED TO CHEAT.

Pretty sure every syllabus I've ever seen has a boilerplate academic integrity section.

Yet the only school around here under investigation for cheating is UNC.

Ernie, that clown from IC also spearheads every campaign to bring up the tailgaiting deaths and makes jokes about the two slain at every opportunity. Words cannot describe how disgusting that guy is.

Edit, that same clown just posted on IC:

"We are obviously living in the last days. Did you ever think you'd see our beloved university with such a nasty sports scandal? Not since I was in diapers in the late 1950's...

Jesus is coming soon, and that IS good news for those who believe..."

this thread is going to be good today

8/27/2010 8:20:38 AM

I only saw the opening comments from Thorpe, but good God I wanted to throw up listening to the shear arrogance of that institution. "It is an honor to wear the Carolina uniform", "this is not the Carolina Way", etc.

STFU, you are no better than anyone else, in fact you are worse and now your dirty laundry is out on the lawn you pricks. Here's hoping both Baddour and BMFD both are fired at the end of this scandal, UNC football gets the death penalty, and any player involved in this scandal is kicked off the team and/or expelled from school.

So Gronke not only left a black mark on the face of TWW, but also on the face of the University.


Not gonna beat a dead horse, because we are BDS'in up in here, but this is exactly what we were talkin about, ain't it?


And now back to our featured presentation

^^ wishful thinking rflong ...

8/27/2010 8:47:42 AM

getting harrow is wishful thinking, getting lo brown is wishful thinking, getting cjleslie is wishful thinking, beating unc 3 years in a row when theyve been better each time is wishful thinking, hoping the ncaa comes to invesitgae unc is wishful thinking, firing fowler is wishful thinking

maybe for once as a state fan....wishful thinking is okay

8/27/2010 8:57:03 AM

I'm torn about whether I want to know the results of the investigation now or if I want them to drag it out.

If they drag it out, they are likely to find out more information and hopefully harsher penalties, and the best part would be the UNC fans squirming for the next week.

But I REALLY want to see some good punishment come down....SOON!

8/27/2010 8:58:23 AM

Holden Thorpe is not a classically attractive man.

no homo.

8/27/2010 9:15:24 AM

From N&O JP Gigilio article:

Quote :

"Davis explained that in three years in Chapel Hill he has employed five "academic coaches" or academic advisers for his son, some from inside the university and some from outside the university. His son, Drew, is 17 years old and the starting quarterback at East Chapel Hill High School."

Seriously? Five fucking tutors in 3 years?? Is BMFD's son a retard? High school isn't that hard.

Quote :

"A clause in Davis' contract says that if an NCAA violation occurs in the program that he reasonably should have known about, the university can fire him without owing him payment for the remaining years on the contract. "

It will interesting if they fire Butch and use this clause. I can imagine the lawyer battle that will surface if/when Butch is fired and they try to prove that he should have known about all of the infractions. What would be sweet is if Butch hires a UNC alum as a lawyer to fight against the UNC lawyers. LOLs all around. I actually will be rooting for BMFD to win so as to milk UNC out of a few more millon. Less money for the much needed expansion of Kenan




[Edited on August 27, 2010 at 9:22 AM. Reason : i]

8/27/2010 9:20:46 AM

Maybe the NCHSAA needs to start an investigation to see if BMFD's kid had papers written for him as well

8/27/2010 9:24:50 AM

As a Fayetteville native myself, it sucks that a great guy like Holden Thorp had to inherit a shithead like Butch Davis. I guarantee you Thorp fires his ass and maybe Baddour's before this thing is over.

8/27/2010 9:35:28 AM

Hey twista. Were you listening to the whiner line yesterday at around 530pm? Some redneck unc fan left a message saying how bad the heels were going to beat lsu "in 9 days, for all you south carolina fans out there 9 is the number after 7 and before 9". Hahahaha. Dumbass.

8/27/2010 9:40:39 AM

I got a feeling Butch is going to try and make himself look innocent while throwing the tutor under the bus.





Is it wrong to feel bad for the tutor?

8/27/2010 9:44:44 AM

via packpride boards. This old article is hilariously ironic...

http://savannahnow.com/stories/062603/SPTacc.shtml

Quote :

""Our faculty are very concerned about the reputation of Virginia Tech's players and Virginia Tech's team," said Estroff, referring to past off-the-field problems for Virginia Tech's football team, which in 1995 and 1996 included 26 players arrested on charges ranging from rape and kidnapping to petty theft and battery. "We are not accustomed to that kind of behavior. You have to remember, (North Carolina Chancellor James) Moeser tried to hire their coach and one of the arguments against him was the record of his players. ... "Part of our concern all along has been the way that sports and athletes fit into the university. There is very little tolerance on our campus for misdeeds and misbehavior by athletes. I'm not saying we're any better, but I do know what happens around here when somebody gets into trouble.""
