It is long past time for an impartial and independent investigation into alleged wrongdoings into the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s football and athletics programs. Anyone who holds a degree from a member institution of the University of North Carolina system or is affiliated with the Atlantic Coast Conference deserves as much. The […]

Doyel: Butch Davis has to be fired; UNC is a ‘floating turd’
Although we aren’t the biggest fans of this former local sports writer, he is one of the first journalists – local or national – calling for Butch’s head on platter. It is a scathing article. Full article here. If only North Carolina could forfeit the rest of the season. That’s what North Carolina deserves. That’s […]
Timeline of Carolina Circling the Drain (Tuesday Update)
[UPDATE 08/31/2010, 10:55AM: Thanks to Clarksa for the following visual.] We’ve heard a lot in the past few days about Carolina’s agent-gate, their excuses, and their hintings at a loss of institutional control. At this juncture, I think it’s great for State fans to relish in the circling-of-the-drain that the Tar Heels are experiencing. At […]
Carolina’s Own BobLee: “Did Carolina Marry a Stripper?â€
In an absolutely fantastic analogy and put in a way that only BobLee can, his August 19 column hits the nail square on the head. I love this so much because it’s not coming from an excitable State fan or a joyous Duke fan, it’s coming from the tried and true and the bluest of […]
How Did The Elite UNC Players End Up With The Same Tutor?
I was texting some of these types of questions with some friends last night. Was wondering why nobody was asking how this particular person – Butch Davis’ personal employee – just happened to get assigned to (these particular) football players. Great post from Steve Williams at PackPride. How did all of the elite athletes end […]
UNC Press Conference: Common Sense and Institutional Control
Never have I heard a group of individuals sound so dejected and distant. Then again, I guess there is a lot of distance to be gained from the heights UNC has fallen since the beginnings of the agent-gate investigation. Chancellor Thorp, Athletic Director Baddour, and Head Football Coach Butch Davis gave a press conference today […]
TOB vs CMFBD
Joe Giglio has been hard at work compiling a ‘by the numbers’ analysis comparing NC State’s Tom O’Brien with UNC’s Chief *# Butch Davis. The two points I can make for Coach O’Brien are: (1) I am very glad he gets to play Carolina every year! (2) Is there something we can do to get […]
Baddour & Butch hold presser, confirm Blake involved in NCAA investigation [2:40pm Update]
Question: If a press conference is held where nothing is said…has a press conference really been held at all? I don’t have a lot of time today so I can’t have my normal commentary right now. But, on the heels of this absolutely fantastic discussion, the ‘leadership’ at UNC-CH broke their public silence and held […]
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. The InfoPacks were chock full of fun and/or funny material about NC State athletics. During the Mike O’Cain/Les Robinson years obviously Wolfpack fans were responsible for creating our own fun. Sort of like now. But I digress. Anyway […]
HS FBall Recruit: Butch Davis admits improper benefits to players in ‘agent-gate’? [Sunday update]
We’ve got ‘breaking news’ out of Virginia tonight where high school football player and UNC-CH commitment, Tim Scott, says that North Carolina Head Football Coach Butch Davis told him that the current NCAA investigation will not impact UNC’s future bowl eligibility…as well as a whole lot more.
