Yeah, I actually didn't write that one(I post as B Diddy), it was done by a UGA fan. We were actually just talking about how the linking to Carolina Sucks probably wasn't the best idea, but they emailed us their article which inspired ours....so we were giving a hat tip of sorts(we hate when others run w/ our stories & ignore credit).

"Ciaran" actually did his own research regarding NCAA regs, etc. We didn't want to blatantly yell "UNC Cheats"(like Carolina Sucks), just point out how friggin shady that looks, especially when the NCAA basically has had an office on campus recently.

looks like unc has hired another d-line coach. lsu assistant.

i feel like you hire SEC coaches to avoid getting caught, not after.

Somehow Ramsay was cleared "based on new information from the university".

Well, they're still on track for that nice quiet dropping of the investigation around tourney time when no one is watching.

2/17/2011 7:21:06 PM

yeah, there is no way anything comes of this investigation at this point. The ONLY news that has come out is one player being exonerated after another

I feel sorry for the next FBS program to end up in the NCAA's crosshairs. They're going to have to come down on that program extra hard as their makeup call for the last year or so of letting teams off the hook ( that is assuming, of course, that uNC gets nothing more than a warning).

2/17/2011 9:58:57 PM

^Auburn may not be in the crosshairs, but the scope is pointed in their direction....

I don't understand how they had enough evidence to state he's permanently ineligible--not something that happens often--to now having evidence that says otherwise. All these stupid UNC fans have no one to blame but UNC....they presented the evidence.

So had he been playing... They would have beat us.

Gosh I'm glad he was suspended.

2/26/2011 9:07:08 PM

What stands out to me is that the quote is basically saying if he never drew attention to the program they could have played for a national championship. Like the worse thing that went on was the attention being drawn to the program.

Had it not been for that nasty attention the program received they could have played in the championship game with half the team having cheated their way through the semester and the other half being on the take.

2/26/2011 10:59:03 PM

some UNC fans' new tactics in response to their dirty football program, are to claim V is the dirtiest coach in basketball history

priceless

2/27/2011 3:43:09 PM

Yea. But if you're going to be dirty it's better to win a championship then get "busted" 6 years later for other stuff and keep your championship.

2/27/2011 3:45:29 PM

When is the NCAA going to release a punishment on the program?

2/27/2011 6:17:49 PM

^never. everyone's gonna forget and unc's gonna sneak out of trouble.

2/28/2011 8:05:37 PM

Jesus Christ, there's an Insider article on the front page of ESPN with the title "UNC could have won BCS title"

2/28/2011 9:53:50 PM

Quote :

"Everywhere you turned at the NFL combine in Indianapolis this weekend, you seemed to spot a North Carolina Tar Heels football player. In fact, UNC players almost outnumbered ESPN staffers in the media room, which is saying something. In all, Butch Davis' program had 12 guys at the combine, by far the most representatives of any school. Trouble is when you have more players at the combine than you do victories the previous year and have four more players invited to Indy than the two BCS National Championship Game participants combined, it's usually the mark of a disappointing year. And there is little question that the 2010 season qualifies as a major disappointment for UNC. "They should've been playing for the national title with the talent they had," said one NFL coach this weekend. "Their defensive personnel was [expletive] sick. They looked more like an SEC team than any SEC team last year because they had freak D-linemen inside and out, linebackers who can outrun running backs and playmakers in the secondary. No one had talent like that. Not even close. If anyone could've shut down Auburn this year, this would've been the bunch that could've done it." Several of the Tar Heels I spoke with this weekend called what transpired in 2010 "a nightmare," as unprecedented football expectations in Chapel Hill were short-circuited by scandal weeks before the season started. Quarterback T.J. Yates, a guy considered by many to be the team's biggest question mark heading into the season but ended up being a revelation, talked about the frustration. "When you look back at it from an overall standpoint and with all the guys that are here that weren't allowed to play, you start to play the what-if game a little bit." Before the season began, the NCAA investigated UNC players for receiving impermissible benefits from agents. Weeks later, the investigation expanded with allegations of academic fraud involving a tutor. All-American defensive tackle Marvin Austin, a guy some were touting as a possible top-five overall draft pick, was booted off the team. Defensive end Robert Quinn, another projected possible top-10 pick who said he had accepted jewelry, and wide receiver Greg Little were ruled permanently ineligible by the NCAA. Defensive backs Kendric Burney, Deunta Williams and Da'Norris Searcy missed big chunks of the season for their roles in the mess. A whopping 13 Tar Heels were held out of the season opener against LSU in the Georgia Dome (thanks to Yates' heroics, UNC came within a play of rallying to knock off the LSU Tigers, losing 30-24), and the team played short-handed all season long. Despite that, and eventually losing associate head coach/recruiting coordinator/defensive line coach John Blake, who resigned amid allegations involving his relationship with an agent, the Tar Heels remained surprisingly competitive. "From week to week we had no idea who was going to be playing," Yates said. "We're waiting to get on the bus and there's a couple guys on the phone waiting to see if they could get on the bus, and these weren't just any normal guys. These were our starters. These were our leaders that on a week-to-week basis we didn't know if we were going to have them or not." Yates said he'd challenge anybody to find a team that dealt with more adversity, going from the NCAA mess to the academic mess and then getting hit hard by injuries. "Coach Davis would look on the sideline asking if anyone could run down on kickoff," Yates said. Little, along with Austin, spoke of feeling guilty about their roles in prompting the avalanche of bad news. "It was tough to know that essentially I started that whole investigation," Little said. "That's one of the things that was very hard to deal with. It is something that will haunt me forever to know that my team could have won the national championship." Austin, who was flagged by the NCAA for accepting two trips to California and two to Florida from agents, told me that the opportunity to play for and learn from Blake for another season was the reason he came back for his senior year. The irony, of course, is that Austin never played a down in 2010 and his mentor Blake left UNC in a cloud of controversy. "That's something that I have to live with and think about for countless hours," Austin said. "Coach Blake never did anything illegal for me or anything like that. I went out there with [former UNC defensive lineman] Kentwan Balmer, Cam Thomas. It was a brotherly thing, and we were trying to get better as players. They connected all these dots and stuff like that saying Coach Blake did something, but it wasn't the case." Austin also said he doesn't believe, as many have speculated, that the entire scandal grew from one of his tweets."

2/28/2011 9:57:39 PM

UNC spin machine in full effect. That's all this is.




the NCAA hasn't said shit yet, and that's BAD for them.

2/28/2011 10:12:22 PM

These are the same players that lost to NC State 3 straight times, and couldn't even win a damn Car Care Bowl.

Hilarious.

NCSU COULD HAVE WON THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP IN 2004 WHEN THEY HAD THE BEST DEFENSE IN THE NATION BUT THEY DIDN'T BECAUSE...

What a fucking idiotic article. I'm pretty sure they probably would have been a damn good football team, but to say things like "if not for these things, they would have won the title."

3/1/2011 12:49:33 AM

i'll be honest guys...

i'm really relieved that they had that investigation shitshow.

3/1/2011 12:51:57 AM

If Virginia Tech had run the table, they wouldn't have even played for the national title as long as Auburn and Oregon go undefeated...if Tyrod Tayler was suspended he, too, would be a dumbass for saying he cost VT a national championship

3/1/2011 2:58:56 AM

^I'm starting to think that the reason this article exists isn't to say they could have actually won the national championship last year. I think it exists solely to plant the idea that an undefeated or one loss UNC would deserve consideration over the undefeated Oregons and Auburns out there. They're just trying to create buzz to increase UNC's stock for the future.

Of course any team that pays players and removes that silly academic stuff from the equation could compete for a national title. In fact you almost have to do that in order to compete nowadays.

3/1/2011 8:18:20 AM

UNC wasn't picked to win their division, let alone the conference, and that was before all the suspensions. The national championship talk is fucking stupid, even if they won out.

And as said before, all those players were there the last few years and they still couldn't win shit.
