I explained earlier in the week — in a column about Tennessee basketball coach Bruce Pearl — how there are really only three types of NCAA violations that can’t be absorbed by a program (paying prospects, committing academic fraud, and dealing improperly with agents), and somehow Davis’ program is facing allegations about two of 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 […]
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 […]
Uh-O! Did Carolina go 0-12 or 0-13 in 2009? [Updated 4:20pm]
Originally posted @ 3:17pm. Updated at 3:21pm, 3:25pm, 3:27pm, 3:31pm and 4:20pm The cracks are starting to appear more prominently in the University of North Carolina’s historically famous, impenetrable cone of silence. Who knows what is next!? Maybe someone starts publicly discussing the Range Rovers that Antawn Jamison and Vince Carter were rumored to drive […]

Message Board Reactions on the UNC/NCAA investigation
I have followed message boards of different college programs around the country for almost 15 years(mainly NC State, UNC and Wake Forest). Message boards are often ridiculed by the print/television/radio media, coaches, athletic directors, and even message board posters themselves. While sometimes these forums are criticized for good reasons, in regards to major news stories […]
Former UNC football player apparently not working on NCAA’s investigation [Updated 11:20pm]
Earlier this afternoon we tweeted that we heard the NCAA was back in Chapel Hill today continuing their investigation of the UNC-CH football program…and this evening we got mainstream media confirmation. (If you aren’t currently following us on Twitter and FaceBook then we would encourage you to get connected with us.) With a hat tip […]
Caught in a lie? Little, Austin & others in Miami @ “Aquagirl Weekend†in May…not March?
“Oh! what a tangled web we weave, When first we practise to deceive!†— Sir Walter Scott (Scottish novelist)   Last night, SFN ran a fun story (linked here) focused on Marvin Austin’s pictures and tweets and is currently blowing up the internet with attention and traffic. Some of the pictures and comments served […]
Butch Davis’ program is “nowhere” in year three
Don’t take my word for it. Listen to one of UNC’s resident motor-mouths, Marvin Austin. In preparation for today’s game, the Charlotte Observer reminded the world how the North Carolina football program is not yet considered ‘elite’ despite two straight seasons of Meineke Car Care Bowl appearances after winning a whopping 66% of their regular […]
