On the heels of Heather Dinich’s lambasting of Butch Davis, the national press continues to say things that should be very scary for UNC-CH football fans. Yesterday, Andy Staples of Sports Illustrated posted this piece covering the NCAA’s hammering of USC (termed “some of the harshest penalties handed down by the NCAA in decades”) and the […]
UNC Scandal
Pimp My Ride – Chapel Hill Edition
Tip of the hat to Brakk on the Pack Pride message boards for finding the website for Dreamworks Motorsports in Roxboro. Why would we be interested in a car customizer that has worked on cars for local athletes, including several former NC State football players? Let’s have the host of Pimp My Ride, Mr. X […]
ESPN’s Dinich skewers Butch Davis
A must-read, brilliantly conceived and flawlessly exectuted. Some highlights: He didn’t know about former assistant John Blake’s reputation as a sly recruiter. He didn’t know about the trips his players took and the thousands of dollars of improper benefits they received that cost seven players their eligibility last year and 14 players at least one […]
Rewind: Butch instituted “sign-out sheet” policy last October (Updated 5/21)
Given yesterday’s news, I thought this would be a good time to remember the “new policies” that UNC-CH put into place last fall.  The full N&O piece from last October is some of the funniest reading you will ever do. Here are some particularly good excerpts. The piece opens: UNC athletic director Dick Baddour says that because […]
Reports: NCAA back on UNC-CH campus looking into Coples — It must not be Friday yet!
Yet another prong! This afternoon word broke that the NCAA was back on UNC-CH’s campus — reportedly asking questions about a recent trip taken by star UNC-CH defensive lineman Quinton Coples. Alert readers will remember Coples for his ridiculously late hit on Russell Wilson (~1:50 mark of that video) during the Wolfpack victory in Chapel Hill […]
Butch says “We told the truth” (with a straight face apparently)
 With the NFL Draft starting tomorrow, there has been an increase in the coverage of the UNC-CH scandals.  Butch seems to be on a publicity tour on behalf of the players involved in the improper benefits and/or academic misconduct scandals. Today’s News and Record has several interesting quotes from Butch. The one that really stuck out to me: “I […]
Marvin, UNC-CH football scandals featured on ESPN’s “Outside the Lines”
On Easter Sunday our man Marvin Austin (0-3 against NC State) was featured during the first 15 minutes of ESPN’s magazine program hosted by Bob Ley. I watched it at 10:00 a.m. but it is also scheduled for 9:00 p.m. tonight. You can also watch it online here, although Ley’s discussion with Shefter is not included. I found […]
Judge rules against UNC-CH in media’s lawsuit (updated with Thorp’s statements) (2nd update with legal analysis)
 Full article. During the last month or so, the decision was made that our UNC-CH football scandal coverage would yield the field in favor of more important things. Now that the basketball coaching situation has been settled and spring football practice is over, however, you can expect SFN to jump back on the UNC-CH football story. Included will be […]
O’Brien: “We can count at our school” (1:40 update with Ovies commentary)
This is a good report from a recent Fayetteville Wolfpack Club Caravan stop. It includes an excellent quote from Coach O’Brien, perhaps directed at the recent ludicrous UNC-CH Spring Game crowd estimates: “We can count at our school,” O’Brien said. “We are obviously the mathematicians, the scientists. We don’t have to estimate or guesstimate. We’ll […]
UNC-CH Spring Game attendance: friends and family only (updated Sunday p.m. with lots of bonus pictures)
 As you can see in the picture, those super-loyal UNC-CH football fans turned out literally by the dozens for their Spring Game, creating what must have been a big-time football atmosphere! How did the wide receivers hear the signals over all the crowd noise? Recruits must have been impressed. Let’s all take bets on the “announced attendance.” *********** 7:25 […]
