^^Exactly. But in this instance it meant even more than that, as it had ACC championship implications! Our loss to UNC last year did not hurt nearly as much as when we lost to Maryland in the TOBy era, losing our chance to go to the ACC championship game. Up 14-0 early, ugh, still kills me.

Man that game was heart wrenching. BUT, replace Maryland with UNC that year, and that's the feels that UNC fans felt on Friday losing to us. Thats a lot of feels.

But I guess with Scottie Montgomery having gone on to coach at East Carolina, Sage is at least considering them. I still can't see him picking Dook, with the negative comments issued by Cutcliffe (& especially Montgomery) after Chazz decommitted from Dook & picked UNC. My guess is that it'll be either Harvard or UNC that gets him. Go Heels!!"

I got scolded this weekend for posting on FB under a UNC fan's (not an alum) complaint that Duke and State fans only celebrate UNC's losses instead of their own team's wins. I explained that that's not necessarily the case, but if UNC is never going to have to pay for years of cheating, then I'm ok with being happy when they lose on the field/court. He told me that celebrating their losses makes their fans MORALLY BETTER THAN ME.

I can't get over their endless preaching about morality, sportsmanship, and class when they insist on ignoring decades of cheating.

3/13/2017 8:33:55 AM

^^Haha. I work at UNC with lots of UNC alums and we do a bracket challenge with a cash buy in. Some of them pick UNC when they think they are going to win but they go with they think will really win, not just all blindly pull the light blue handle to be "real fanz".

"From the beginning, it has been my position that Sankey is directing this process against UNC as a member of the ACC and in a direct way, is going after the ACC through UNC and doing what he can to tarnish the excellence of the ACC, in academics and athletics. If he can successfully bring UNC down even to a minor infraction with penalties, he will have succeeded in his mission. Now that he has refused to recuse his involvement in the process, it is even more transparent he has a personal agenda and IMHO, it is to enhance the SEC while damaging one of the finest universities in the nation and again, IMHO, several notches above even the highest ranking university in the SEC conference. He has by his actions to date successfully redirected several 4 and 5 star players away from UNC because of the witch hunt he is leading along with other NCAA officials. Every time I look at his photo, all I see is a holier-than-thou hypocrite trying to protect his domain, the SEC. Time for this fiasco to end and again IMHO, it will take direct legal action by UNC to end it. Until then, Sankey and the NCAA lackeys will continue their vendetta against UNC."

mofos don't realize that unc is the one who is damaging itself not the NCAA or any other conference

Quote :

"What never comes up when it's discussed that of the 3,100 students that took the AFAM course and half were non-athletes is the race of the students. It's important so hear me out. When I was at UNC roughly 13% of the student body was African-American. So, that roughly 3,250 African-American students at Carolina. That's not a lot. Many of them, including me, took an AFAM class (or two) to fill a non-required class (an elective). We took those classes to learn about our history which we hadn't been taught in K-12. We learned A LOT and it was a bonding experience for those 3,000 or so African-American students on a majority white campus. My point is this, if 3,100 students took the AFAM course and IF the majority of them were African-American student and IF half were also African-American athletes then how is this a problem for athletics? SACS has already ruled and had UNC serve a 1 year probation and have moved on now for two years. This isn't abnormal to have have African-American students (possibly the majority of those who take AFAM) to take a class that was being offered by the University. If the majority of the students who took the course were also African-American then I can't see how the NCAA has a case, at all. Follow your by-laws."

this is really grasping at straws trying to show that race has something to do with it even though there are plenty of emails saying hey athlete x needs a certain grade to be eligible and poof it happens or emails saying yeah we know they are turning in work for this class that isn't theirs but eh it's okay.

4/24/2017 3:02:06 PM

This is why the hate just keeps building for those pieces of shit. How hard is it to just fess up, say you got caught, take your punishment, and just move on? Your clear disregard for academic integrity, in order to bolster athletics, is what has tarnished your reputation... not the NCAA. Just deal with the fact nothing you have done the past 20+ years is legit to anyone except your walmart nation fans. If you had just accepted your punishment back when this all finished up and then won the title this year everyone would be fine with it but because you delayed for this long now no one even thinks this one is legit either. Fuck those assholes.

Keep in mind he's still bummed over the last two years' midweek games with the Gamecocks. His last comment...."that umpire can go back to Division 2 now." FWIW."

lol...he showed it to an EX-GAMECOCK ATHLETE so that's all that matters, folks

He did call him safe when he missed the tag (and the runner missed the Plate).. Then he called him out. People are dumb

6/6/2017 12:03:06 AM

Well, he called the initial missed tag from the Davidson catcher on the UNC player "safe" but it doesn't mean the play is over (not that that's what you're implying.) Some of their fans seem to think if the baserunner had just gone to the dugout, acting like he had tagged the plate instead of diving to try and touch the plate, that Davidson would not have even protested the play
