"OMG LSU IS LIKE THE BEST SEC TEAM EVER AND WE ALMOST WON. GO US YAY MORAL VICTORIES."

Even funnier when you consider that prior to the game all the UNC fans were saying "LSU's offense is garbage, we can still win this with our backups." In other words, if LSU were to win convincingly, it's because they're a crappy team that beat a bunch of 2nd and 3rd stringers. But since UNC came back, LSU is a top-tier team they almost beat.

"The UNC Sports Scandals The following entry was written by Joe Mavretic, former Speaker of the NC House and NC SPIN panelist: " There is no need for internal investigations, or for assistant coaches to resign, to determine who is responsible for the damage to the flagship's reputation. There are three university employees whose job is to ensure that calamities like this NEVER happen. Those three employees are the head football coach, the athletic director and the chancellor. These three persons have the authority, and the responsibility, to prevent athletic scandals and they failed. "It does not matter how they failed, why they failed or who caused them to fail-THEY FAILED! If the Board of Governors and the Trustees want to send an unmistakable message to the university system of North Carolina and set a national precedent for the way these embarrassments should be handled, then the head football coach, the athletic director and the chancellor must be replaced FOR CAUSE. The following entry was written by Joe Mavretic, former House Speaker and NC SPIN panelist: “If this flagship university actually has a national reputation for academic integrity, any less severe action in this matter sets the precedent for how much damage these three can do for sport's money.""

2 prongs

I thought this would be a little more obvious but maybe I'm just naive.

9/9/2010 5:11:34 PM

Nah, that makes sense. I was trying to put it together from a different angle, and didn't see that

9/9/2010 5:13:23 PM

Brakk on packpride frebie says BMFD won't even make it through the night as UNC's head coach...we shall see.

Would be a nice birthday present if something newsworthy gets released this evening!

9/9/2010 5:27:59 PM

Although dude posted a bunch of pics to fire up the crowd last night, and nothing really ever came to light.

to be fair, he said butch MAY not make it to tomorrow. the other dude on there w/ good info, waffleiron, said he has heard similar things but at the same time has heard they may keep him through the season just to salvage whatever wins they might get...

9/9/2010 5:30:00 PM

That's exactly what I think they'd do. It would go perfectly with all the other completely horrible PR decisions UNC has made with this thing so far.

9/9/2010 5:32:35 PM

when asked if BD would make it through the weekend, he replied BMFD MAY NOT MAKE IT THROUGH THE NIGHT.

Again, I said I was in wait and see mode, but the dude is predicting Davis gets fired by tomorrow.

9/9/2010 5:33:37 PM

also, they owe him two "roster bonuses" on Sept 15th, and December 15th totalling almost 2/3 of a million dollars, thats a high price to pay to "salvage" anything.

can y'all link us to the thread where brakk and waffleiron are talking about this?

Re: N&O:Baddour to BOG academic issues older than first

Thats the thread name....they keep locking, renaming and switching threads...best bet is to follow the one about UNC thats consistently at the top of the free board page

^^^he may not be "stepping down" and it may not be tonight....but what IC and barnes say is often mincing words.

Reminds me of "it depends on what the meaning of is is"

They will probably let it leak during the game tonight hoping no one will notice because they will all be tuned in

9/9/2010 8:07:34 PM

surprised nobody posted this yet:

Quote :

"ATHENS, Ga. -- Georgia wide receiver A.J. Green sold his Independence Bowl jersey to a former North Carolina football player who is also at the center of an NCAA investigation into alleged rules violations in the Tar Heels program. According to sources familiar with the NCAA investigation, Chris Hawkins, a former North Carolina defensive back, befriended Green through the receiver's Facebook page. According to the source, Hawkins identified himself as a financial advisor and memorabilia collector in Facebook messages to Green, who eventually agreed to sell his jersey to Hawkins for $1,000."

WRAL had me scared they led in saying the investigation may be turning to the final chapter but they really had nothing.

Any mention of a particular news source?

9/9/2010 10:42:23 PM

Speculation from WaffleIron:

What I heard tonight: Before the semester is over expect (Dec I guess?) Baddour, Butch and the entire coaching staff, the entire compliance department, multiple professors,athletic dept personnel, football operations personnel, etc. to ALL get the axe with some sooner than later. Thorpe is gonna start scalping people. Namely Chief.
