No, he went to State.

Who WAS the State fan who was responsible for the whole UNC expose?

They should have the Pack Pride posters on the radio. They are the only ones with information.

8/14/2012 4:39:02 PM

so professors were being registered to teaching a class and never knew about it?

8/14/2012 4:39:14 PM

sounds like it

8/14/2012 4:41:35 PM

it's just a university issue, though, not an athletic one

8/14/2012 4:42:01 PM

^^^^ Ovies said on Twitter that they were welcome to come on, but they had reveal their true identities.

^^^^that seems to be the claim. lol at that.

8/14/2012 4:42:23 PM

Yeah I don't buy that nobody else in the department knew anything at all.

You don't see a bunch hulking football players and 6'6 dudes walking around your building and not think anything.

8/14/2012 4:42:35 PM

ahahahaha!! Smith just said, "academic shenanigans." love it.

8/14/2012 4:47:05 PM

@GingaNinja. There are a couple of superstar/heroes over there.

Wufwuf1: whose been mentioned numerious times not only on Adam & Joe but around the country as the one who exposed primarily McAdoo's term paper.

Manalishi: He did a lot of investigating with the phone records but was able to piece together, from Dan Kane's 'test transcript' doc that it was indeed a football player and he was pretty sure it was Peppers.

Hdog16: found the actual transcript with the "PEPPERS, JULIUS FRAZIER" name on it.

8/14/2012 4:47:52 PM

lol, sounds like the professors don't like Thorpe

8/14/2012 4:48:01 PM

^^^^ That's assuming the athletes were actually walking around their building...and from all we've heard thus far, I'd say that's very much in doubt.

8/14/2012 4:48:57 PM

talking about how few students the coach has to track??

oh no he didn't

8/14/2012 4:49:57 PM

I just tried to log in to my ChapelTBDVHeel account over at Inside Carolina. Found out I've been banned. So 1 of 2 things is likely, IC mods read TWW, or the boycott the school meme caught the attention of their mods a while a back.

8/14/2012 4:50:41 PM

tower, charge your phone

8/14/2012 4:51:17 PM

i could listen to this Jay Smith dude "lecture" about this all day

8/14/2012 4:52:06 PM

this whole thing makes me want to

Jay smith actually let slip that he had heard rumors of pressuring for grade changes in other departments when responding that he hadn't had it happen to him.

What other departments I wonder?

NEWS TEAM!

8/14/2012 4:59:22 PM

whose face should i photoshop on the Iraqi Minister of Information?

8/14/2012 5:02:31 PM

^^he said other programs. he is trying to shift the focus off of unc.

8/14/2012 5:05:06 PM

i would think since he has only had 2 athletes since he's taught at unc, he wouldn't have much insight into grade changing pressure.

8/14/2012 5:07:02 PM

^^I heard departments but I could be wrong. Additionally he could still be referring to other departments, may not be using programs the same way sports people refer to programs.

8/14/2012 5:09:38 PM

the @Joey_Powell butthurt is off the charts

"please ask Smith when he'll be returning his salary that is undoubtedly funded or subsidized in some form by athletics revenue "

AHAHAHAHA - what a fucking retard...like athletics pays for academics

8/14/2012 5:13:37 PM

it did at Penn State, lol

8/14/2012 5:15:05 PM

pretty sure the context was close to "no one pressured anyone in the History department, but I've heard rumors of other (programs/departments) being pressured".

So not history, but likely other academic departments

[Edited on August 14, 2012 at 5:16 PM. Reason : not sure if he said program or department]

8/14/2012 5:15:54 PM

^^^ that dude's tweets, paired with his picture, make me think he must be the biggest douchebag on Twitter

8/14/2012 5:26:51 PM

no, the biggest douche is @delmarheel

8/14/2012 5:27:15 PM

2 bball/fball students in 15 years. How's that even possible? Of those 2 one struggled and the other dropped. Guess they knew where not to send athletes.

8/14/2012 5:28:21 PM

8/14/2012 5:39:59 PM

Someone post the doyel/bane pic ovies just tweeted

uh yeah, athletes have advisors.. athletes sign up for classes before everybody else. it's like checking ratemyprofessor.com before you sign up, obviously you're not gonna choose the hardest one when all of them are available. not that difficult.

for sure... i don't know how he's stayed alive this long (or at least walking upright)

8/14/2012 6:37:51 PM

I think the next big thing is that swofford gets implicated in being involved on these shenanigans during his time s as AD.

Hey, a man can dream, can't he?

8/14/2012 7:07:36 PM

The Baghdad Bob photoshop is great... esp given one of the man's quotes during the war:

"Baghdad Bob: You can go and visit those places. Nothing there, nothing at all."

yeah the pic works...i was gonna do the Holden Thorp dance picture face, but that wouldn't have conveyed the message as well



Nothing to see here

that would be ideal

8/14/2012 7:25:42 PM

no, because then WE would get sanctions somehow, just as gunzz predicted on page 1

"It happens everywhere. Unfortunately media bias is in effect. ESPN cannot afford for something to happen to the SEC. N&O is out to destroy UNC's reputation, but ignores cases of steriods and academic miscues at NC State. All the sudden, players over there are eligible to play. I have no problem whatsoever with the media being all over UNC, just which they would request the same information from all local programs and investigate misgivings there just as intensely. "

lol

these are the same people who decided weed was a PED right?

^^^^^Yeah, no.

8/14/2012 7:59:46 PM

steroidal pot

8/14/2012 8:01:17 PM

They're not talking about weed, it's all in reference to some prescription drugs found at one of our weed busts. Or something like that.

8/14/2012 8:02:37 PM

full interviews from the afternoon are up on wralsportsfan.

BTW Prof Smith did say "programs" not departments but from the context to me it doesn't sound like he's referring outside the university but that's just me.

8/14/2012 8:03:26 PM

i'll go wit and Ovies to this

Those guys are clueless.
