Some Random Things, InfoPack Style
Those of you who were Wolfpack fans in the mid-90s may remember “InfoPacks†– these were a fan-created informal email newsletter sort of thing.

Message Board Reactions on the UNC/NCAA investigation
I have followed message boards of different college programs around the country for almost 15 years(mainly NC State, UNC and Wake Forest). Message boards are often ridiculed by the print/television/radio media, coaches, athletic directors, and even message board posters themselves. While sometimes these forums are criticized for good reasons, in regards to major news stories […]
A Good Timeline on John Blake’$ Career

Helpful hints for Elaine Marshall [Update @ 2pm EST]
As it becomes more evident that the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s athletics department is in a huge pile of stink, more and more agents are being blamed and scapegoated by UNC-CH partisans who truly believe that God created the sky after he created the color ‘Carolina Blue’. In today’s News and Observer, North Carolina […]
