The Flagship is back in a national paper’s Sunday edition. The New York Times doesn’t allow copy and paste, so you’ll need to click here for the full story. Summary: What The Flagship has shown the world over the past few years — what State fans have known for decades — is the arrogant elitism […]
The Flagship
Initial Reactions to the Martin Report
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 […]
State-Carolina: The Past Five
For the past five years, when it comes to football, this is OUR STATE. For those of us who endured the 0-for-7 streak against Carolina during Mike O’Cain’s tenure 1993-99, there are few moments more satisfying than hearing the band play “Old MacDonald had a farm…” after the Carolina game (for the inexperienced among you, […]
UNC Scandal: What’s the End Game?
It’s a surreal world we occupy when the N&O, Gregg Doyel and #WPN are all working together. For decades we’ve endured the arrogant elitism of The Carolina Way, knowing it never passed muster.

Dan Kane (N&O): Questions Linger

The Flagship wants its money back
If you haven’t already, catch up with all the recent batch of shenannigans over at The Flagship here (Rogueapalooza). Clearly, UNC was swindled (again) by a rogue, but now Thorp means business and wants his money back (WRAL): CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — The University of North Carolina wants a professor at the center of an […]
The Flagship Sunk by Moo U (Again)
Thoughts & Observations: *THE University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill sure isn’t acting like The Flagship it’s supposed to be, especially after losing (again) to lowly Moo U, which does little more for the Old North State than produce diploma-less farmers (but rest easy, the Carolina Way is as reliable as ever). *Old MacDonald […]
