Prove me wrong on paper.



DL: close to push but I give UNC the edge
LB: NOT EVEN CLOSE, UNC
DB: Edge, NCSU but closer than you think.

Great. Another closet UNC fan. You do realize Nate Irving was moved to MLB right?

9/3/2010 10:01:14 PM

Shut the fuck up. I've missed 5 home games in 25 years. Don't even bring that up that shit.

And if you think Nate's presence gives us a better LB core than Carter, Sturdivant, and Brown you are more than delusional.

9/3/2010 10:06:36 PM

brown?? their backup?

you are retarded. they lost some BIG time players. They cant compare to ours right NOW.

9/3/2010 10:10:58 PM

Until we see differently on the field, our defense is not better than UNC's.

Not after last year.

I think they can and should be better once we see proof. But I am half glass empty on the defensive issue until proven otherwise.

shut this horseshit argument up and get back to bds'ing

9/3/2010 10:22:34 PM

our defense is nothing special

but they are missing 7/11 starting defenders

is their defense composed of 64% backups really better than ours?

9/3/2010 10:22:42 PM

Yeah this is way to much optimism at this point for me in this thread...

Que up some NC State shit tomorrow(injuries for us...UNC somehow winning..)

9/3/2010 10:23:07 PM

So my wife were heading to a wedding in Charlotte and these UNC frat boys(who were heading to the game) in a tahoe kept driving by and gawking at her. I told her she should make them a sign and this is what she came up with.



They had a witty comeback of "i didn't know state fans could read" and we never saw them again...

I wish they would have hung around because my wife wanted to make one that said "I think you mean "write." your tutor didn't make the trip?"

lol.

9/3/2010 10:41:23 PM

lets just agree that RW > Yates, and get back to the investigation

Let's get nuts. C'mon NCAA.

9/3/2010 11:14:02 PM

Sucks that Sturdivant and Carter were cleared to play. I was hoping that all of the big names on defense would be out for 4 or more games. Just hope now that Quinn, Little, and at least 2-3 of the secondary guys will get multiple game suspensions.

9/3/2010 11:18:43 PM

If I remember correctly, wasn't Sturdivant supposed to face a disciplinary action for his drug charge as well? Wonder if that will happen.

9/4/2010 12:22:10 AM

Drugs? lolz he 2 bizzy bawlin, so we'll git 2 dat latr

9/4/2010 12:51:05 AM

I'm not sure why they only get suspensions. they cheated, multiple times. That should be a fucking expulsion. Jeez the NCAA has no credibility

9/4/2010 1:56:27 AM

the NCAA didn't suspend anyone

this was UNC to make sure they weren't playing anyone that down the road could be ruled ineligible

hopefully when you hear about the ruling from the NCAA it will include:

loss of scholarships
loss of post season play for X amount of years
vacation of wins from 2009 season
players X,Y,Z,etc suspend for the year

Thorp is pissed, this is a shot across the bow in public, pyew pyew

Quote :

"Thorp: Tweaks needed But Thorp added that some things did need to be tweaked off the football field. "I think that what is clear about this situation is that academics and character have not been emphasized as much as they need to be in the football program," Thorp said. "Because I think people throw around the institutional control [question], but that's about whether you're training your tutors and getting people to sign stuff and all of that. And we're doing all of that, and we'll look at it. "But I think the big question here is whether people are being reminded frequently enough of the values of the university - and of the importance of academics relative to everything else. And it's clear that we need to improve that." Thorp said that he has stressed that need for improvement with both Baddour and Davis and that he remains determined to sort out what went wrong and make it right. "This happened on Butch's watch, but it happened on Dickie's watch and on my watch, too," Thorp said. "And the three of us are committed to making this football program one that is consistent with what Carolina has always been about."

I think they should be investigating whether or not Butch used university money to pay for his own kids tutor. It's so fu'kin stupid that any other brat at UNC would have been kicked the hell out of school.

The only thing left that would make this any sweeter would be if Butch Davis was found to be sleeping with the tutor.

9/4/2010 7:05:26 AM

What I don't understand about the two guys who got cleared was "how" they got cleared. Baddour called in to 99.9 and said that the 3 questionable guys did commit some sort of violation but yet they're allowed to play? I don't get it.

9/4/2010 7:40:19 AM

He said they were involved in the investigation, so the NCAA probably looked over UNC's notes or whatever and confirmed that they hadn't actually committed a violation. That's what I got from the interview...

heres to hoping something breaks in the story next week and we find out Quan and Bruce were involved in a separate incident making them ineligible.


hmm. wonder what Quan did to celebrate the decision?

9/4/2010 9:40:16 AM

^I bet it was drugs.

9/4/2010 9:40:49 AM

Haha. LSU fans with the "University of Non Compliance"

ESPN quick to point out what a good school UNC is and that Butch must be so embarrassed. So much ass kissing.

9/4/2010 10:06:30 AM

LSU fan had the sign "GO LSU EAT GOAT" At least he got an animal that has horns and makes annoying sounds.

9/4/2010 10:08:29 AM

ESPN is going to be pushing the Boise VT game hard after this fail boat leaves the harbor.


LOL at the UNC fans with "Butch I'm Eligible" sign

Also: UNC would have a fraternity sign in the crowd.

[Edited on September 4, 2010 at 10:32 AM. Reason : /]

9/4/2010 10:24:13 AM

A good idea for a sign would be "The tutor wrote this sign for me."

9/4/2010 10:33:38 AM

I gotta say I still have a little nervousness for the idea that UNC can still win this on a freak play or two. It's a small chance but it's there. It's like you're about to spin the big Price is Right wheel when Bob Barker says "if you land anywhere except the 100 cent square you win a million dollars, but if you land on the 100 cent square i'm going to shoot you in the face."

9/4/2010 10:41:43 AM

Lines are anywhere from -9.5 to -10 LSU at the moment. If LSU can't get going on offense and its a low scoring affair, it could get interesting. I think LSU takes it, but I wish I got in when it was -6.5

9/4/2010 10:46:05 AM

I love how UNC getting picked for college game day backfired. Now, it's a fucking showcase for their violations.

9/4/2010 10:55:28 AM

lol at the LSU fan with the sign "Butch know any tutors?"




[Edited on September 4, 2010 at 11:02 AM. Reason : ]

9/4/2010 10:55:59 AM

I still think UNC will lose, but I also think the game is gonna be a hell of a lot closer than some on here think. Getting Sturdivant and Carter back was huge -- they're two of the best LBs in college football. Not having Little on offense hurts them, but they have plenty of good-enough WRs

Where they're going to be hurting bad is across the DL. There's some talent there, but absolutely no depth. I think they'll put up a good fight for a few quarters before LSU wears them down. The secondary would be a big concern if Jordan Jefferson was a threat to pass, but since he's really not, I think they'll be just fine.

That said, LSU did smoke GT in the bowl game last year 38-3. GT beat UNC pretty bad last year. So while it could be a beat down, I'm not expecting it.

9/4/2010 10:59:59 AM

Come on you guys, be reasonable.

There is no way UNC even comes close to winning this shit.

Stop with all the Chicken (Greg) Little "sky is falling" predictions.

9/4/2010 11:02:52 AM

UNC also has no running game (or passing game, Yates), so their D will probably be on the field a lot. I think it'd be a pretty good showing if they can only lose by 10-15

I'm wondering if everyone played if they'd have a chance to win it. I do think LSU is a better team, but I'm more referring to the chemistry on the team.

When you have certain teammates ratting out all of the other ones, it tends to have an effect of the team. We couldn't even imagine what other players know Marvin said, Little said, etc.

I guess they could come together becuase of this, but I doubt it. Mentally, they're a mess. Haven't been able to properly prepare or think about the game, etc

9/4/2010 11:32:52 AM

I just LOL'd at the "Free Boosie, not UNC" sign on College Gameday.

9/4/2010 11:41:37 AM

I honestly don't think UNC had much of a chance to beat LSU even at full strength, it would have been a lot closer of a game. Way overrated, way too much hype, anyone calling them a darkhorse for the NC was an idiot.

9/4/2010 11:42:44 AM

LSU fans are getting a taste of the UNC holier than thou mentality

sign: "LSU tutors couldn't get into UNC"

Damnit I am starting to get nervous about this game vs LSU. I don't know if I could deal with a UNC win.

9/4/2010 12:09:36 PM

So according to an ACC alumni football player, this crap about how could this happen at UNC or that they have always run a clean program is bullshit. Anybody in the media needs to investigate why the university has continued to have courses setup for football players, specifically Portuguese. Portuguese is a dead language and it isn't worth a damn for many careers. It also, wasn't worth a damn for the university to invest in it other than the fact that it was designed for football players and made it an easy A.

This shit has been going on at UNC for years. Come on Steve Daniels. I know you're making a run for Brian Ross's job on a national level. Why don't you go knock on the classroom doors and count the football players in those classrooms.
