    The next person out the door should be Baddour. He was over all of this from the beginning. Carolina’s “keep it under wraps and hope it will blow away” strategy clearly did not work. But there are too many present and former players that are ratting Blake out for Baddour not to know. Yes, Butch knew as well but Baddour, being in charge, should have told him that “either you get rid of him or I will get rid of both of you” a long time ago.

    Poorly written, Wufpacker. I think what he’s trying to say is that they came “out of mediocrity” by posting two consecutive 8-5 seasons.

    Is there a link to “money laundering”? I have missed that this morning….

    Watching the LSU-UNX game and seeing starvin’ marvin in the stands (and likely other players), a thought came to mind – who paid for the transportation, game tickets and lodging for cupcake boy and his fellow cheaters?

    Blake was asked to “resign” last week. The 74k was negotiated for his resignation. Remember they are all in the same boat so when you push someone out it has to be carefully. Stayed tuned.

    Any inside rumors on what the next step will actually be?

    What would really get me pumped is to see some rocks turned over around that basketball program.

    $74,500 for quitting? Two words come to mind – “hush money.” I wonder how much UNX will pay me to quit talking smack about them?

    A coach getting canned came much sooner than I thought. The Holes have a bye week. Will other coaches be gone the next time they take the field?

    IamGumbyDammit:

    According to the N&O:

    “The players were not allowed to travel with the team, and senior associate athletic director Larry Gallo told them that if they chose to attend the game on their own, they would have to pay their own travel and expenses. The school provided their tickets to the game, which is permissible for ineligible/withheld players under NCAA guidelines…”

    Also found it interesting that Austin is the only player that will still be held out of practice. I think Cupcake is starting to feel the pressure from all sides now. Won’t be long before he explodes!

    “Watching the LSU-UNX game and seeing starvin’ marvin in the stands (and likely other players), a thought came to mind – who paid for the transportation, game tickets and lodging for cupcake boy and his fellow cheaters?”

    Simple. Other players probably gave them some of their comp tickets (not sure if that’s against NCAA rules or not, but it would be if WE did it), they drove in Marvin’s wheels, which were probably provided by (insert name here), and the fancy duds and hotel accommodations were bought with (insert name here)’s credit card account that has Marvin’s name on it….the same one he bought plane tickets and hotel accommodations with in South Florida.

    Nothing to see here.

    I’m utterly confused at this point. There’s a lot of buzz that something more and something BIG is about to be exposed…a virtual Hindenburg!

    Yet all is quiet at the moment and the mood of many in the UNC camp is that with Blake gone the clouds will now start to part.

    So what’s the truth? Has UNC negociated a truce with the NCAA by dumping Blake or are we simply in the “calm before the storm”?

  15. Plz2BStateFan 09/06/2010 at 2:22 PM #

    Yea, the boards on PP are going nuts about “Biblical” punishment for UNC.

    RE: Blake Resigns (Rumors of Nuclear Option on IC)

    WingsCupped wrote: Picked up this little tidbit from a neighbor (Tarhole grad) who was at the game on Saturday in Atlanta. He was attending a big Ram’s Club pre-game party and said that the big rumor was that Blake would be gone by Monday. He told me this yesterday morning, so I do give his sources (Ram’s Club big wigs) some credibility seeing that it wasn’t announced until late yesterday. He then went on to tell me that the reason Blake would be gone was in regards to a pretty substantial wire transfer that the NCAA discovered that was sent to Blake’s bank account, and it was allegedly from an agent. Allegedly, that money was used to “urge” the key guy’s on defense to come back for their senior year, and in return, Blake would try to push them to that agent when the players finished their senior years.

    Please take it for what it’s worth. Like I said, this came from a neighbor that attended the Ram’s Club pre-game party, and already had told me Blake would be gone before it was officially announced.”

    Oh well happy trails to Blake…I was almost hurt but then proud of LSU’s stand. whew!!!

    I’m anxious to see if all those recruits hang in there. The fact some haven’t opened their recruiting back up is surprising.

  19. statered 09/06/2010 at 3:26 PM #

    I am sure some recruits have decommitted, they just have to be interviewed before you will know it.

  20. StateFans 09/06/2010 at 3:29 PM #

    More coming, guys. More coming.

  21. cWOhLFrPAiCKs 09/06/2010 at 3:53 PM #

    StateFans knows something that we don’t. How do I get a job working for you guys so I can get the inside scoop before everyone else? I’m a loyal wolfpack fan with plenty of good job experience. Let me know!

  22. backnine 09/06/2010 at 4:24 PM #

    Hey Statefans, when the word comes down, dig up that old black and white picture of the Hindenburg and put under your caption. As I think about the whole UNC mess I can’t get that pic out of my head. Seems pretty applicable.

  23. MattN 09/06/2010 at 5:05 PM #

    Come on Statefans, out with it! Why the secrecy?

  24. wufpup76 09/06/2010 at 5:20 PM #

    Patience everyone! Let everyone enjoy their Labor Day holiday (the authors/admins/owners here certainly deserve it!) and just revel in the situation as it stands now!

    Weeeeeee!!!11!!!
