From Nate Irving's interview at the ACC Pigskin Preview...

http://northcarolinastate.scout.com/2/986269.html

Quote :

"“[Taking money from agents] is like smoking a cigarette. People know its not good for them but they think they can stop before it hurts them.” “I think we are [compensated]. We get a free education, we get a chance to experience what a lot of people don’t get." “You have to be careful about what you do and who you do it with. You can get anything on camera now and you can record just about anything and put it on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter. You just have to be careful. [Coaches] tell us that people are always watching and if you want to have one of those sites be careful about the information you put up, the pictures you put – you aren’t just representing yourself you’re representing the team and also the University. It’s bigger than you.” "

So, let's compare Nate Irving's comments about this subject to those of Robert Quinn.

give quinn a break, he did have a brain tumor after all

LOL

[Edited on July 26, 2010 at 12:52 PM. Reason : preseason pick]

Sorry for the brain fart, I thought I was in the days till western carolina thread.

(we are in the Atlantic division, Carolina is in the Coastal division)

7/26/2010 1:18:17 PM

I don't get it, how can the NC darkhorse be picked 4th in the Coastal???

7/26/2010 1:33:18 PM

I bet all of this shit will eventually turns into a slap on the wrist.

^^ UNC fan partyline

"this isn't a big deal. nothing's going to happen. if anything this gives us more attention, we're a big time program now"

7/26/2010 3:21:52 PM

I laughed hysterically when I saw that UNC was picked to finish 4th in their division.....like us. I thought they were supposed to be top 10 nationally by the end of the year? hahahahaha, can't even get picked to win their division.

7/26/2010 4:17:37 PM

My favorite is listening to delusional UNC fans talk like they are going to beat LSU.

7/26/2010 4:20:52 PM

Depending on how this scandal shakes out, UNC could beat LSU. LSU is not the powerhouse team they were a few years back. I seriously doubt UNC will be able to score more than 10 points unless the defense forces some turnovers so I still like LSU.

But if the UNC defense gives old shitty Yates good field position all day and holds the questionable LSU offense in check, then it could happen unfortunately. They'd probably have a parade on Franklin the following day.

7/26/2010 4:41:40 PM

Les Miles coaches at LSU

therefore every team has a chance to beat LSU

7/26/2010 4:45:40 PM

LSU would have to play like absolute shit to lose to UNC. LSU doesn't have to be their typical powerhouse to beat UNC. Could it happen, sure. Is it likely to happen, absolutely not.

7/26/2010 4:46:37 PM

what source are yall going off for the 4th place division prediction? cause i want to send the link to some people i know who went to unc

"GREENSBORO -- UNC quarterback T.J. Yates took part in the annual golf outing at the ACC Football Kickoff on Monday morning -- and won the award for closest to the pin. When his victory was announced at lunch, the senior quipped, "Am I allowed to accept this?" as he was handed his prize. It was a wry one-liner in the face of the fact that the NCAA is investigating whether Tar Heels players received extra benefits from agent"

7/26/2010 6:30:13 PM

^ahahahahahahahaha. nice.

7/26/2010 6:34:09 PM

T.J. needs to learn to shut up but as long as he keeps throwing those INTs, I'll let it slide.

7/26/2010 6:47:08 PM

^^ TJ Yates needs to STFU. I don't know where he gets the idea people that people care about what he says. Not even his own fans care about what he has to say, no agent would ever care about giving him a single thing.

7/26/2010 6:49:18 PM

lighten up and get a sense of humor, dude

I have a hard time having a sense of humor about this when UNC is getting investigated and their QB is out in public making quips about the investigation. This is the second time he's said something like this.

He may be hurt that he won't be able to motorboat Marvin in the locker room anymore, but at this point I don't see how UNC hasn't told all of their players to just shut up about the incident and not talk about it to the media.

7/26/2010 7:21:12 PM

Calm down little man

why does this make you angry?

if anything, it could hurt them

(but it won't)

7/26/2010 7:30:46 PM

^ Just the fact that you know if State was under investigation we would've locked all our players in their dorms so they didn't let anything slip for fear of the death penalty, but UNC is under investigation and their QB is out in the media cracking jokes about the thing.

I know that theoretically it could hurt them more if some NCAA investigator gets pissy about the comments made, but I just hate that elitist attitude that all of those involved in that athletics department seem to have.

Also saw this on Pack Pride:

" Miller Safrit of Scout is tweeting from ACC kickoff. He quotes Swofford: "#accfbk Swofford: "We have a situation where an institution could b penalized and a player may be penalized."""

7/26/2010 7:40:44 PM

I don't get any elitism from that quote

I know it's cool to irrationally hate everything ever done by anyone affiliated with UNC, but maybe we shouldn't take it to the point of idiocy

this

but maybe he's still too young and hasn't yet reached the level of zen that some of us have

7/26/2010 7:45:29 PM

My favorite TJ Yates moment is when he taunted the crowd at C-F and then lost 28-27.

7/26/2010 10:05:53 PM

^i remember being at the game and thinking to myself..."the pride comes before the fall"

7/26/2010 10:12:24 PM

i remember the douchy "what now" arm gesture. i also remember the rest of the game and the two previous meetings. good times.

7/26/2010 10:24:09 PM

hopefully he ends his career winless against State...eat it Yates

7/26/2010 10:29:40 PM

i think he was trying to be like russell crowe

ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?? IS THIS NOT WHY YOU ARE HERE??

no, we're here to win, lol

7/26/2010 10:57:31 PM

TJ Yates should never be compared to Russell Crowe even if its to say how shitty TJ Yates is

7/26/2010 11:33:14 PM

is it TJ Yates comedy hour at this ACC Kickoff thing? Wall St Journal had an article that mentioned Yates making some joke toward Christian Ponder. Clown on the field, and now...clown off of it.

7/27/2010 3:09:21 PM

Yates is the worst QB in the ACC, he has to get positive attention somehow

7/27/2010 3:14:32 PM

^^^i beg to differ

for example, you know Russell Crowe's character in A Beautiful Mind? how he's got multiple personalities? thats kinda like Yates' passing game...he doesn't know if he's throwing to his teammates or the other team?

ok nm, you're right

7/27/2010 3:44:54 PM

how about an SAT style analogy?

for example... Russell Crowe : Andy Dick as Russell Wilson : TJ Yates

7/27/2010 4:01:24 PM

Russell Crowe : Andy Dick :: Russell Wilson : TJ Yates



[Edited on July 27, 2010 at 4:12 PM. Reason : .]

7/27/2010 4:12:08 PM

Andy Dick is a better actor than Yates is a QB

how about Kevin Federline

Just a hunch, but I'd imagine he's a terrible actor

T.J. Yates' thoughts while standing in the pocket

7/27/2010 4:20:10 PM

^ absolutely halaarious

7/27/2010 5:00:42 PM

I'm pretty sure it was just TJ being shocked since he's so used to giving gifts at every game rather than receiving them.
