The funniest thing about BEU's videos are the comments in this thread about them.

9/1/2010 9:54:31 AM

let me know when that one makes it onto IC so i can ROFL at the reaction comments

WaffleIron over on packpride is saying that Greg Little is the one that spilled the beans on the nanny.

Also, there *may* be a new prong.

She just, you know, drove BD's kid around, cooked him meals, did his homework, and wiped his ass. But she DEFINITELY wasn't a nanny!

9/1/2010 1:18:10 PM

The only people I really feel sorry for in all this is LSU. I'm sure they are having a fun time trying to prep for this game.

9/1/2010 1:36:51 PM

^not that hard...plan for the starters to be there and beat them down as hard as you can regardless of who you're playing against.

9/1/2010 1:39:00 PM

^^ It's not like they would have to prepare for 2 different styles of D that are equally as talented.

9/1/2010 1:41:30 PM

yeah but still, you usually like to have an idea of what you're going to face.

9/1/2010 1:50:41 PM

But the idea that you're not going to have to face half of UNC's starters is not at all a bad alternative to what they are preparing for..


Which is that UNC will have all their starters..

I predict... 48-10, LSU

9/1/2010 1:56:20 PM

I hope the game gets out of hand so fast that the announcers have nothing left to talk about BUT the scandals.

9/1/2010 1:59:20 PM

^This.

"The rumblings (BIG) are in addition to player suspension which at this hour likely include per reputable source for at least LSU: 1. Austin - out due to agents, possibly longer than suspected 2. Brown - out due to tutor 3. Little - out 4. Quinn - out 5. Bruney - out due to tutor 6. Quan - ?able 7. Carter - ?able 8. McAdoo - ?able 9. Dwilliams - ?able 10. Searcy - ?able 11. McAdoo - ?able 12.

"Greg Little is being called "snitch little" in chapel hill right now. His own teamates will not talk to him and he's basically seen as an outcast over there from what im hearing. The NCAA (not unc) found the correspondence between Little and the nanny/tutor on Little's unc.edu email account and Little spilled the beans on the other 10 or so players involved with her. Little has not been going to class and rarely practices anymore. In fact he has tried to quit school all together because of this twice but was talked into staying by his father and former hs coaches etc."

Completely unsubstantiated, of course. But whatever. I love rampant speculation.

"Also, WRT the agent thing, let's not forget that the NCAA are the brainiacs who changed the rule to allow contact with agents in the first place. That might be the single stupidest aspect to this whole thing. (Yeah, you can go to the party at the agent's house, you just can't grab a Pepsi out of the cooler unless you pay for it... what about tap water?) Morons. Useless ones. This whole thing has actually changed my opinion on paying players... the NCAA is worthless."

"6. 2010 North Carolina Starring: DE Robert Quinn (Projected No. 4, 2011), DT Marvin Austin (Projected No. 19, 2011), OLB Bruce Carter (Projected No. 27, 2011), S Deunta Wiliams (Projected No. 30, 2011), and LB Quan Sturdivant (Projected No. 58, 2011) Last season this team was the sixth best defense in the country and they will only get better with another year of experience. They had a couple impressive wins last season, the most important being a 20-17 victory over Virginia Tech in Blacksburg. In that game, the Hokies didn’t score in the first half. This is the kind of defense we’re dealing with heading into 2010, with Carolina returning nine starters. As far as professional prospects, four projected first-rounders and a fifth player projected to go in the second round. That’s about half your defense taken in the first two rounds. And who knows how many more players will end up getting draft in 2011? Yeah, we’d say that’s a deep unit collected by Butch Davis."

Ranked #6 as in 6th of ALL TIME. No media conspiracy bias huh?
