this thread was a lot better when people were just posting the dumb comments that UNC fans made on IC

6/10/2011 10:21:39 AM

true

6/10/2011 10:23:01 AM

YES! Worldwide skepticism about EVERYTHING is the right way to go. Let's just always assume everyone is a liar, all the time, with no evidence or reason to support that thesis, just because we feel like we're right.

Obviously you know how NCAA recruiting works, you must have been a coach on the recruiting trail for a long time. Must have played some college sports as a recruited scholarship player, must have recorded tapes of the types of conversations coaches have with athletes... Oh, no, wait, you just think you're right because your gut tells you so.

There's a gentleman's way to play the game, and there's a sleazebags. And while I'll admit readily that some people in the game probably negative recruit sometimes, that doesn't make it ok. It especially doesn't make it the way I'd want my staff to act. Good coaches and good recruiters keep the spotlight on the awesomeness of their own program, not the shortcomings of others.

predictions about UNC's record next season

http://mbd.scout.com/mb.aspx?s=78&f=1408&t=7572108

half of their fans think they win about 8 games, the other half thinks they win about 11

6/10/2011 12:25:01 PM

i can't wait for another underwhelming season of UNC football!

their burgeoning rivalry with Rutgers is so adorable

6/10/2011 12:25:42 PM

TreeTwista is right...to get back on topic of idiotic IC posts here we go,
A thread title:

Quote :

"UNC Football: Why Chapel Hill Has the Best Game-Day Experience "

Quote :

" There are hundreds upon hundreds of need-to-see stadiums in this football country. And whether you're a North Carolina Tar Heel fan or not, Kenan Stadium in Chapel Hill is one of those places you have to put on your bucket list. "

Quote :

"The Tar Heels play their home football games at Kenan Memorial Stadium. It is one of the most striking athletic coliseums in America. "

Quote :

"Its setting gives it a majestic glow, giving it the distinguished nickname of "America's Most Beautiful Stadium," and has been applauded by many sports magazines for its jaw-dropping scenery."

Quote :

"For 70 years, the mascot of the Tar Heels has been a ram. This came after North Carolina State named its mascot as a wolf. UNC had to match it."

Was not aware of that, but since when does a ram "match" a wolf? Unless he means that wolves and rams (well, sheep) go together because of the whole "wolf in sheep's clothing" type thing and wolves prey on sheep.

Quote :

"The Tar Heels have a combined total of 77 All-American players to have worn a baby-blue jersey. They have sent 213 players to the NFL, including Lawrence Taylor, Julius Peppers, Willie Parker and Jeff Saturday. Nine Tar Heels were selected in the 2011 draft. "

Seriously? Willie Parker is your claim to fame...I'm pretty sure he made the NFL in spite of playing at UNC.

Quote :

" Don't be frightened when you see a wave of booming fans wearing a sea of blue—it's meant for the other team"

I'm pretty sure 99% of that is just made up shit. UNC has no football tradition, no one outside of North Carolina even knows what the name of their stadium is, let alone believes it is one the premier stadiums in the nation.

I wasn't aware that one of Kenan's nicknames was "America's Most Beautiful Stadium".

6/10/2011 1:36:56 PM

Quote :

"OP was fantastic!!! Kenan probably has the most underrated gameday experience in the COUNTRY."

6/10/2011 1:40:43 PM

Apparently it's from Bleacher Report (which sucks so bad)

Quote :

"Chapel Hill is filled with alluring village communities surrounded by the fascinating mountains of North Carolina. "

What the fuck

Peoples jaw drop because they can't believe a football stadium in the south has NO tailgating.

6/10/2011 1:51:05 PM

Quote :

"UNC Football: Why Chapel Hill Has the Best Game-Day Experience"

Yes, this shit parking situations are not only fun but if you are one of the select few you can ACTUALLY park in the UNC hospital parking deck and take up more spaces with your tailgate tent, stealing precious parking real estate from people who need access to the hospital.

But that's not all. The stadium, which just became a bowl stadium, has had so little attendance in years past, that you could just walk right up at the beginning of any game and get tickets right from the ticket booth. Seriously, every football fan wishes they had that luxury.


Also, Re: Willy Parker being their claim to fame:

Willy Parker hates UNC so much, that when the players announce their names and colleges at the beginning of NFL games, Willy Parker says the name of his High School. He doesn't even acknowledge that he went there, that's how much he hates the program.

No, and neither will most Carolina fans.

6/10/2011 1:55:11 PM

just googled "most beautiful college football stadium" and UNC has a link 2nd from the top. In there it says:

Quote :

"Considering its majestic setting among the Carolina pines, many observers say Kenan Stadium is the most beautiful football facility in the country. One national sports magazine rated Kenan one of the five best places in America to watch a college football game."

Which seems like bullshit. Wouldn't you name the magazine that said this if it wasn't a biased piece of trash? I think you would.

6/10/2011 1:58:08 PM

When I google "most beautiful college football stadium", the second link from the top is http://www.nightgirl.info/?p=1504

Not sure if I should click that

6/10/2011 2:01:40 PM

TOB thinks it's a beautiful place to play football.

6/10/2011 2:46:53 PM

^Yes, and that sea of blue of 60k UNC fans does not intimidate him in the least.
Doesn't Keenan (or at least part of it) have aluminum backs to the bleachers? They are terribly uncomfortable...

6/10/2011 4:19:24 PM

^^^That says Wyoming, and then Stanford.

"There's a growing thread on IC about how John Blake has been vilified by the media and is owed apologies because there is no evidence that he's ever done anything wrong"

haha i'm reading through this thread right now...its hilarious how they act like everything negative about him is hearsay that ABCers came up with

lol

Quote :

"If the NCAA really did clear John Blake, then they should take some of the Blame. If they were that hot on his trail, then they should be accountable."

its the NCAA's fault if Blake did anything wrong because they cleared him to be an assistant coach at UNC

[Edited on June 10, 2011 at 5:51 PM. Reason : morons]

6/10/2011 5:36:55 PM

Lol at that. The NCAA will tell you basically that he's not currently under investigation and there's not a show-cause on him. It's not like CSI:ACC or anything.

6/10/2011 7:22:09 PM

Haha. Even if Blake did nothing wrong, why should the NCAA apologize for investigating him? That's the purpose of an investigation...to discover what wrongdoing, if any, that someone did.

6/10/2011 10:48:58 PM

Quote :

"The NCAA is so pissed at Greg Barnes for beating them to the punch on so much info during this review that they're purposefully going to wait another week just to spite him"

From IC.

Greg Barnes has been wrong numerous times during this investigation. He has said 2 or 3 times that he expects the investigation to wrap up on [insert whatever date] and has been wrong everytime so far.

"I wouldn't be surprised if the powers that be, already know, but may wait to not overrride the good news Diamond Heels story, for a few days. P.R. move if you will. "

yes, I'm sure that's what is happening.

UNC fans asking if Tudor will or should apologize for saying BD should resign...my guess: If Tudor believed it last year, he still believes it (investigation yet to end, plus Coples and others attending draft party after NCAA warned against it, "sign out sheets").

6/12/2011 3:35:19 PM

^ Their fans are so stupid. BD should resign. But I hope he doesn't so TOB can keep pwning him.

If Roy was coaching the heat, he'd have blown up over people being to hard on Lebron after the game.

6/13/2011 11:25:42 AM

The thread on IC about expecting to receive the NOA around 6/10 is pretty entertaining. It's basically everyone arguing about whether it's been too long to be considered "around 6/10", people knob-slobbing Greg Barnes, speculating that they've already received it but don't want to release it yet, and the occasional lame NC State or PackPride joke tossed in.

6/15/2011 6:55:12 PM

From our very own thread on the subject:

Quote :

"JT3bucky All American 17601 Posts user info edit post not sure that it will come out into a document form though anytime REAL soon like tomorrow...maybe thursday. and yes^^ had two ppl tell me they legitly received it...one is a pp mod that I trust ANYTHING he says. the other has been right once and the other times completely BSed...I think he was the donavon rumor starter. 6/13/2011 12:24:21 AM"

It's all a bunch of jerkoffs wanting to be "in the know," so they believe some bullshit that some other "in the know" jerkoff said and start repeating it. When it turns out to not be true they all have a huge circlejerk coming up with reasons why it wasn't and then do the whole thing over again in a couple of days. I understand that it's humorous at times, but don't act like it's something new.

6/15/2011 7:16:13 PM

6/16/2011 11:03:59 AM

Without even looking I can almost guarantee they are doing the following things.

1. Pretending that their football team totally didn't get caught breaking NCAA rules
2. Playing victim
3. Accusing NC State of cheating
4. Being grown men making up silly names to call people on the internet

That's their thread on parking tickets...they're all acting like they don't understand what the big deal is. "I got parking tickets when I was in school", etc.

[Edited on June 16, 2011 at 3:23 PM. Reason : And some comments about Tracy Smith's handicap parking last year]

6/16/2011 3:21:58 PM

They dont realize that no one gives a fuck about the actual tickets. It's a matter of showing a link that they were driving vehicles that were not theirs and/or having these tickets taken care of by someone else.

6/16/2011 3:27:42 PM

I don't visit IC, but there are some pretty ridiculous comments in WRAL's comment section

This is the message UNC is trying to get across. They are clean because they are ticketing regardless of whether you are an athlete or not. I can't believe that they dont understand that this is not about whether the players were ticketed or not.

simple division isnt this guys strong suit apparently

"-$13K over more than three years for 11 kids is roughly $300 for each of those 11 kids , or about $50 per kid on the team per year. Double check my math, but is this what we are really discussing? Speaking of wasting taxpayer money and calories. Doesn't the media think that maybe there are kids on the team who DON'T have cars who must carpool."

they sure do have a hard-on for NCSU all of a sudden. oh yeah, and more math fun

Quote :

"$13,000 divided by $1,600,000 equals .008125 percent. Issued to 12 football players over 3 years. $2000 remains to be paid. My question: Where does this stack up against NCSU, Duke, Ohio State, Southern Cal, Auburn, Alabama, heck, even Tennessee? Lets compare apples to apples here. After all, is it REALLY about preferences or is it really "yellow" journalism?"

^LOL....they still don't get that no one cares about the parking tickets. It's much deeper than that. And if NC State was under investigation, then you can bet that we surely would have had to relinquish the parking tickets as well.

What does he mean by, "heck, even Tennessee"?
