Don’t have a lot of time right now…so, want to share this as quickly as we could. Link As I skim the article, the first thing I note that the UNC PR machine was successful in repositioning ‘facts’ with what is supposed to be the “paper of record”. Take the following quotes for example: The […]
UNC finally released their heavily redacted version of the NCAA’s Notice of Allegations today, and this time, it doesn’t appear that the Tar Heels are going to get off with a mere slap on the wrist from college sports’ governing body. That’s because the NCAA charged UNC with perhaps its most heinous crime, “Lack of Institutional […]
UNC-CHeats officials publicly acknowledged today — the Friday afternoon of Memorial Day weekend when nobody in the world is paying attention to anything — that they have received the NCAA’s Notice of Allegations. Generally speaking, the strategic release of bad news like this on Fridays is to be expected. But, it makes the behavior no […]
My buddy texted me yesterday that he’s thankful for Twitter. Without Twitter, the rampant, chronic academic fraud and outright cheating over at The Flagship may still be rolling on, unexposed. Now, let’s have a little fun speculating. There’s a working theory we’ve formed over time: when NC State “broke the spirit, not the letter” of […]
Since it is rivalry week and it is Thanksgiving day, we couldn’t resist sharing the following that came through our Twitter feed yesterday: What the mothers of UNC football players hang up when their athlete sons come home for thanksgiving break… pic.twitter.com/oscNxeF5QP — WolfpackNation (@NCSUFans) November 26, 2014 For A LOT more NC State and […]
Q: What happens at NC State when a group of players anonymously destroy property with BB guns? A: They get suspended for a huge ACC football game. Q: What happens at UNC-CHeats when a group of players deface the property of a fellow ACC member institution while wearing UNC uniforms and while in the capacity […]
I know that the timing of News & Observer’s string of articles around the 40th anniversary of NC State’s 1974 National Championship Basketball this morning was pre-determined…nonetheless, this one focusing on the shift of power really stung. Despite the torture it created for me this morning it is worth reading; particularly for our younger audience. […]
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, […]
With the unprecedented punishment levied against Penn State yesterday, Stewart Mandel says that NCAA “displinary czar” Mark Emmert “overstepped” and then touches on a question many of us are asking about the ever-inconsistent NCAA (SI.com): “While there’s been much speculation about whether this fits this specific bylaw or that specific bylaw,” said Emmert, “it certainly […]
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 […]
