Participantthe $25 personalized plate, is a frugal counter. No?
Frugal, yes. But then you have to ride around with “UNC” on your car, no matter what the context. 😛
MrPlywood
ParticipantNo offense to the owner but that’s a waste of money. I’d prefer to have a plate promoting the Pack.

ParticipantMore grist for the mill. When interviewed at the U19 tourney, GP mentions State first, didn’t mention Oregon at all. He does mention Kentucky, but as the article notes Kentucky sources say he’s off the table. The article says that State seems to have the inside track and is the best fit.
GP says that he’ll make his decision after the U19 tourney.
Hmmmmm…

ParticipantWhat if we get neither of these guys?
And what if Gott lands one or both? The power of positive thinking.
MrPlywood
ParticipantDorsey and Papagiannis dominate in FIBA World Championships
Hmmmm, Pappagiannis plays on the Greek U19 team with a guard committed to Oregon, 4 star Tyler Dorsey.
MrPlywood
ParticipantRegarding specifics I meant how the plan was set up at unx, as in the who, what, where, etc. I’m sure that Roy know the framework, but they were smart enough to build in plenty of plausible deniability for him.
Regarding the people how are no longer around, either literally or figuratively, that’s another plank in the Hole fan platform… why punish if the perps aren’t here anymore?
MrPlywood
ParticipantRoy may well not have known the specifics, since he didn’t set up the plan. I can imagine that when he was brought in he was just told not to worry about the grades, that it was all taken care of. Hell, there might not have even been a conversation.
Roy: “But what about…”
Shadowy Figures: “Shhhhhh…”I might have written this before, but it still applies… Don’t write when you can talk, and don’t talk when you can nod.
re:
The new hot buzzword from all the UNC faithful in the comment sections of these articles is telling people who see through the baby blue line of BS to “educate yourself” which is rich.
I’ve seen that dude, John Cooper, on the ESPN boards. Typical Hole fan who wants you to believe that it was all rogues. They’ll go to their graves believing in their own mythology.
MrPlywood
Participant“Relief” as in “whew, they didn’t connect the dots”.
MrPlywood
ParticipantOregon just lost out to a 5-star point guard who chose Kentucky. Maybe that was part of the Ducks equation.
MrPlywood
ParticipantThe cash that’s been invested into protecting whatever needs protecting is damned near infathomable to you and me.
That was the first thought through my little head. The new contract is obviously a smokescreen.
MrPlywood
ParticipantWhere did you see that 85? I’ve seen Oregon mentioned a lot. (Oregon?) As well as others, with State sometimes listed and sometimes not. Most of the articles seem like wishful thinking, “what if” pieces.
MrPlywood
ParticipantAnnnnnd cue the gnashing of teeth over the “innocents” whose education and diplomas are now and/or would be tainted by the actions of their university should unx lose accreditation. Cry me a river. Your university chose to go down this path, time to pay the price. The ironic thing is that while many fanboys think that their “it’s not an athletic issue, it’s an academic issue” mantra and will keep their fake legacy intact, the fact is that the academic prong and related aspects could prove to be much more serious issues.
MrPlywood
ParticipantMeanwhile, Brian Kelly admits:
“I think we recognized that all of my football players are at-risk — all of them — really,” Kelly told Notre Dame Insider. “Honestly, I don’t know that any of our players would get into the school by themselves right now with the academic standards the way they are. Maybe one or two of our players that are on scholarship.”
Everyone knows that is an issue at all schools, but unx’s propaganda campaign, otherwise known as The Carolina Way, pulled the wool over their own sheep for years. Hell, I’d say a majority of their fan base still believes in the fairytale of across the board high-achieving athletes with incredible graduation rates.
MrPlywood
Participant^^ Of course unx goof boys are using that as proof that the scandal was academic and not athletic. They really are dumb over there.
MrPlywood
ParticipantYes, there were problems, but all the people involved are gone.
This is a recurring theme in many posts by unx supporters. The rogues are gone, so no harm, no foul. Problem solved. There’s so much rationalization, deception and covering up going on over there they should get their own reality show on TLC to air right after the Duggar’s (yeah, they’ll be back).
More good stuff. Hope the media keeps up the drum beat.
And other fan bases have jumped on the bandwagon too, comment sections are repeating the facts and beating back the Heel apologists. We are no longer lonely voices in the wilderness, plenty of other people have connected the dots and know how schools with smaller infractions have been taken to the woodshed.
It’s put up or shut up time for Emmert.
MrPlywood
ParticipantDon’t be too hard on yourself Wuf. AT 8-1 I thought about posting but held off for fear of upsetting the mojo. But at 8-4, then 8-7 I should have said F it, I’m posting. Anything to shake up the bad juju. But I didn’t. I second guessed as much as the team did. It was contagious.
MrPlywood
ParticipantThat was hard enough to “watch” on the GameTracker. I can’t imagine seeing it live.
MrPlywood
ParticipantWell hell. Snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.
MrPlywood
ParticipantMe like Part Deux.
MrPlywood
ParticipantMe like.
MrPlywood
ParticipantQ: Is there any advantage – physical or mental – to either team playing tonight? One team plays two, State just one.
MrPlywood
ParticipantSadly I’m not able to view the vid because Canada. Yo NCAA, there are plenty of Canadian athletes on your teams, so wake up.
MrPlywood
ParticipantHell yeah. Rally cap.
MrPlywood
ParticipantRally cap on.
