Scout team in. Haven’t seen that in a while. Nice. We should maybe try to set up some field goal practice.
Totally agree ‘Foose. WTF losses will be greatly reduced under D. For me, Winston Salem is a phobia. Been there too many times…heading in expecting to win and coming out with my wolven tail tucked between my legs surrounded by drunken Baptists. Been beat by that stick too often to not fear it and thus, now, doubt the outcome.
Looking ahead to Clemson perhaps or just because its tradition, we suffer the bi-annual bad loss at Wake (after an open date) thus ending our undefeated season to that point on 10/24. From there it’s business as usual….beating who we should and losing where expected. And that puts us on a two game losing streak going to BC where we struggle but pull it out despite that particular tradition. We win the first half at Fla St before they play a complete game, all in the third quarter, and blow us out. We recover and beat ‘Cuse at home before hosting the CHEATERS. And Cheaters never win. Despite finishing 9-3, the Wake loss keeps us out of a nice bowl. And if it’s not Wake, its one of those screwy high school road games….cause that’s what we do.
There is a little two letter word in our schedule that scares me….
“at”
….it appears just before the words “wake forest”.
redisgood, you got sources???? Gott did not know what you know yesterday afternoon. I have a source for that tidbit.
I had always thought that the thick, hound dog stupidity thing was an act. But it’s not. He is really shockingly stupid.
Is UNCheat getting hammered? Really getting hammered? I think not. What I’m seeing here is a firing squad with rubber bullets. All show, a little pain, but no real blood drawn. My reasoning follows:
1) At the heart of the scam is UNCheat MENS basketball. Not women’s basketball or football, but MENS basketball, beginning with Dean Smith and expanded upon by RW. I truly believe that Dean, being the salt of the earth, bleeding heart, progressive that he was, felt that he could help disadvantage students who happened to be tremendous basketball players by creating an easier path to a degree. I think DS believed he was trying to do some good. But at the same time, he was giving himself an edge. RW on the other hand took the foundation DS created and built it into the massive scam that it became thus allowing other sports to benefit. While RW benefited from the available skills of ineligible athletes, the scam grew and became unruly, eventually becoming to big to hide. The football team especially became greedy as did women’s basketball. RW learned to hide his involvement as the “program” grew…using underlings to shield him.
2) So the NOA only touches on RW while shining a direct spotlight on Women’s basketball….by far the least important of the three programs involved at a significant level. All media outlets that I have seen so far also avoid linking the Football and Basketball program and their respective coaches to the scam in their interpretation of the NOA. In other words, the women’s basketball program is going to be thrown under the bus while the big boys and RW skate.
3) The thing that jumps out to me the most is….”If this is not academic fraud, what the hell is”? Yes, there was lack of institutional control. But, that simply means the big machine, in all its Flagship wonderfulness, lost track of a couple of things. No big deal really. They’re sorry and I’m sure it won’t happen again. BS! This was the greatest of all infractions…Academic Fraud. The NCAA took a pass on that and set the mirrors up and turned on the smoke machine by waving the LOIC banner.
IMHO, this is all being set up to help the cheats avoid the big sanctions and penalties that come with AF. LOIC is big, but in this case, it’s basically a free pass. And whatever hits the fan is pointed straight at the women’s B ball program and AWAY from Ole Roy.
Enjoy what you can of this. I will try. But I smell the same old rat that’s been scurrying around this big pile of dung from the beginning.
Big Choke. Vomit everywhere. Looked like we hadn’t been there before. Everybody contributed. Hell, it took a team effort to pull off this defeat. One man alone couldn’t have made this happen. Walks, Balks, Passed Balls, pitches actually hitting the plate, grounders bouncing off shins and shoulders, bad throws. We own this one like a bad tattoo from a drinking binge night. At least there’s the Belmont this Saturday w/o the distraction of NC STATE baseball. Har Har Har
The Cheaters Vice Chancellor for “university” development, David Routh said in blast email to the entire cheating community that the school would respond vigorously to the NOA…..saying “rest assured, we will vigorously pursue a FAIR and JUST outcome for the CHEATER (sic) community. We will follow up with you when that release (NOA) occurs to share points you can use in conversations with fellow alumni, colleagues, friends, neighbors and family to both inform and remind them about key facts (from UNCheat’s perspective)”.
Translation (not that one is needed):
These charges are bogus. They are lies. We are awesome. This is unfair. We don’t deserve any of this BS. We’re picking the report apart and will get back to you with our spin, otherwise known as talking points so that you idiots can create a drum beat of smoke screens and mirrors to, if for no one else, continue the Flagship myth that is The Carolina Way, amoung yourselves….cause you are the only ones stupid enough to still believe we are not the biggest bunch of cheating MF’s in the history of the universe.
