so arian foster was on mike and mike this AM, and they asked him his thoughts on yates and what he does well...

and foster's only comment really was that he was faster than schaub/leinart...

i thought that was an odd compliment...

IC is not pleased with the officiating in yesterday's game vs KY.

Quote :

"if the roles had been reversed,they would have called a foul on henson for running into davis after the shot"

(on the final play)

Quote :

"* Worst officiating we'll see all year"

Quote :

"If the no calls when Kentucky fouled Henson and Strick on their dunk attempts, UNC wins."

And there's a pretty funny debate about if Anthony Davis is 18 or 20. There is apparently a discrepancy in his birth year...and they keep saying that Davis isn't that good for a 20 year old. lol.

Quote :

"UNC is the Better Team Right Now "

Nevermind the fact that UNC just lost to KY.

Quote :

"Is anyone else confused why he is so highly projected."

Quote :

"He will not be anything special in the league."

he = Anthony Davis in both posts.

eh, everbody blames the refs, nothing new. the indiana thread is like 10 straight pages of bitching about the refs

12/4/2011 3:55:10 PM

fuck Yates

looool

They seem to be pretty happy with the idea of the Fedora hire which is now apparently a "done deal." I know he's had a great year this year, but he doesn't worry me very much. But then again, I don't know a whole lot about him.

12/6/2011 1:26:32 PM

I'm indifferent.

He's definitely not a home run hire, but he's had some success. I personally would have liked to see them be publicly humiliated in their coaching search. That's the only reason I'm a little disappointed.

12/6/2011 1:30:52 PM

They could've done a lot worse (if Fedora to UNC is true). But at the same time, he's not (as ^ said) a home run hire.

Anyway, for those that missed it here is the twitter stuff from earlier today.

Originally WRAL Sports Fan tweeted:

Quote :

"Per @InsideCarolina "Fedora was offered" and "sources confident he will accept""

Inside Carolina (probably run by Greg Barnes, I don't know) tweets:

Quote :

"Note: WRAL is not accurately representing Inside Carolina's report today."

And then IC tweets at WRAL Sports Fan, but they've since deleted it:

Quote :

"@WRALSportsFan Don't know who staffs this account, but you need to contact us."

Kinda funny...and reading the IC boards, it's pretty clear that WRAL Sports Fan was getting their info from the message boards on IC.

And then, unrelated to the IC/WRAL Sports Fan thing, this was just tweeted:

Quote :

"Just spoke with a close relative of Fedora. He said that he nor anyone else in the family has heard of Larry accepting a job #UNC"

12/6/2011 2:11:46 PM

maybe it will turn out like our search, lol

"you need to contact us right now"... I imagine that conversation will go a little like this:

Hey, you gettin you info from Inside Carolina?
Yeah.
Stop it. The only valid source of rumours is Pack Pride and maybe TWW.

"Butch, with his original staff would have already won an ACC championship. One man can't do it all. UNC has to find a way to hire quality assistants and find the money to keep them here. We've also got to find a way to make the nerd in South Building do his job while letting coaches coach."

Quote :

"THROP has killed any chance of UNC football becoming a major player. It is time for an honest post only conveying what every logical human already knows. We have been ************************************************** ************************************************** ************************************************** ********************* by the big Throp of UNC. Never again, will Billy Friday and Friends have to worry about academics and basketball taking a back seat to football. When you go from a coach called B M F D to Fedora, you've been tooled up the bung-hole. In all seriousness, I would have rather the next coach be a wuffie assistant named Pandora than some unknown Bunting. FWIW, any person reading this who actually entertained the idea of CP auditioning for the parasite's terd,AKA THROP, meth is a very serious drug addiction."

Kinda hope that was one of you.

12/7/2011 3:41:34 AM

Even Southern Miss's student newspaper had an article last night saying he was gone. Lol. This might end up being as funny as our coaching search if he ends up at a&m.

12/7/2011 6:43:51 AM

I usually stay out of this thread, but I found this pretty amusing.

Someone started a thread that had "Coaches by Numbers" giving the Fedora Hire a C+. That thread has been deleted. There was a pretty good discussion going on about the accuracies of the article.

That's pretty fucking weak.

They closed yet another thread that quoted the same article.

I understood them not wanting to talk about the football scandal (although their "head-in-the-sand" stance was a little ridiculous)...but ignoring a reasonable, critical article of their new coaching hire is hilarious.

where does this "sleeping giant" talk come from? when have they ever been an awake giant? possibly 1998, when they blew out virginia tech in the gator bowl?

i mean, is any large school with appropriate resources a "sleeping giant" by virtue of the fact that they suck and could possibly improve?

12/8/2011 9:38:52 AM

Apologies if this is old.

Thorpe's wife.

That about nails it. Any school that has a large enough fanbase and money pool but hasn't been a historical power can get the "sleeping giant" label.

as bad as that video was there is one thing IC'ers can't complain about anymore, they fucking love UNC.

12/8/2011 1:07:25 PM

Just to clarify Thorpe's wife is the one barely clapping not the one jumping up and down like a toddler about to wet themselves correct

12/8/2011 3:47:47 PM

You sure about that? Are you talking about the lady directly beside Thorpe? That lady has a different hair color than his wife. Are you sure the maniac isn't his wife?

12/8/2011 3:50:06 PM

It's his wife.

12/8/2011 3:52:01 PM

That's his wife...I'm pretty sure she's the one jumping up and down.
