There will surely be more in-depth analysis of the Martin Report, but here are some related comments and initial responses since it’s release this morning. Full 74-page document here. Holden Thorp (WTVD): “The hard questions have been asked and today we’re here to get the answers.” Jim Martin (WRAL): “(There is) no confirmation for speculation […]
UNC Scandal
UNC: Bballers “lost interest” in AFAM around 2007
Before the N&O goes “pay for play” here in about a week, I’d like to thank Mr. Dan Kane, perhaps for the last time, for at least attempting to keep this story front and center. The Delay, Deflect and Deny (if necessary) defense seems to have been largely successful for the rats to the […]
NC Senator Thom Goolsby sounds off on UNC Fraud
It’s taken a few years and a public announcement from a UNC whistleblower but we finally have the first public statement from a member of the NC General Assembly (at least the first I can recall) on the wide reaching fraud at the esteemed flagship. NC Senator Thom Goolsby penned a column posted today lambasting UNC […]
Insider: UNC-CH Tolerated Cheating
The N&O’s Dan Kane drops another bomb, this one pretty big. Since most of us are nursing a Death Valley hangover and are currently busy watching some grown ups play football on the BIG stage (yes Pack fans, they do exist), there’s not going to be any commentary here, but we wanted to […]
UNC releases more NCAA probe records
UNC-CH grudgingly turned loose their death grip on some more records produced during the 2010 NCAA investigation into allegations related to agents and academic improprieties earlier today. While rather damning, let us not forget that at this point the NCAA considers this a dead issue. Nonetheless, Dan Kan and J. Andrew Curliss of the N&O […]
Top 3 – a Carolina fan who got it right
In an article that I would call, “Three great moments in NC State-UNC history”, Tar Heel Monthly’s Adam Lucas took time to focus on his opinion of UNC’s three worst losses to NC State in the last 25 years. The article is linked here and includes some videos of the the three games – 1986, […]
Friday Farrago
NC STATE FOOTBALL Omega Wolf (Backingthepack.com) First and Foremost: Opening Quarter Doomed Pack and Heels in Losses My old man used to say that you can’t win a game in the first half, but you can lose one. N. C. State and North Carolina have both demonstrated the truth of this old saw on the […]
Tuesday Tidbits
NC STATE FOOTBALL Joe Giglio (N&O) Wolfpack gets set for UNC back Gio Bernard There’s no need to explain to N.C. State the value of North Carolina running back Gio Bernard. The Wolfpack defense knows the best way to beat the Tar Heels is to hold Bernard in check. That’s what happened last year when […]
Wednesday Woolgathering
NC STATE FOOTBALL Joe Giglio (N&O) O’Brien, Pack want to end ‘roller coaster’ trend If there’s one thing N.C. State coach Tom O’Brien knows, it’s his team can bounce back after a tough loss. But life after big wins? Prosperity has created a different set of problems for the Wolfpack, which had a week off […]
Roy Williams plays “Dodgeball” with Dan Kane
Dan Kane (N&O) got the opportunity to directly ask some pointed questions of UNC-CH head basketball coach Roy Williams on Thursday, at UNC-CH’s basketball media day. How the now infamous Mr. Kane was able to gain access to the affair I’m still not sure. The fact that he made it back off campus still breathing […]
