By all accounts it was another fun night of player skits and Roy Williams dancing. It was also the first look fans had at Harrison Barnes, Reggie Bullock, Kendall Marshall and Justin Knox. According to ACC Now, they did not disappoint: Harrison Barnes scored 13 (unofficial) points to lead the “White” team and Reggie Bullock [...] Continue reading UNC Starts Season With Late Night Ah…basketball. UNC kicked off the 2010-11 basketball season with their annual media day. Roy Williams met with the media and let me just say that the last time we saw Roy in front of the media during the season the man looked beat. It would seem the break has been good for him and the [...] Continue reading Notes From Basketball Media Day Wait, what? Thursdays have usually been the harbinger of doom for Carolina football throughout the NCAA unpleasantness, but for once some good news actually came down the pike on this Thursday, as senior running back Ryan Houston has been cleared and will play this weekend at Virginia, according to Inside Carolina. Houston was held out [...] Continue reading Some Good News on Thursday? Houston Cleared to Play Sirius radio host Bomani Jones, in a special to ESPN.com, offers his take on what Butch Davis and Dick Baddour had to say in the wake of Greg Little, Marvin Austin and Robert Quinn having their college eligibility wiped out by the NCAA. Let’s just say, Jones is not going to be invited to any [...] Continue reading Bomani Jones: UNC’s Defense Rings Hollow With apologies to one of my favorite Pardon the Interruption games, here is a look at some possible odds as we move forward in the football investigations with this week’s big news: What are the chances the UNC football staff really didn’t know about the improper benefits received by Austin, Little, and Quinn? I am [...] Continue reading Oddsmakers: UNC Football Edition This is the story making the rounds on Twitter today. SI.com did a lengthy story recounting the career of former sports agent Josh Luchs who openly admits to paying players in college on a regular basis. It is an interesting read regardless of your fan allegiance and honestly should scare the crap out of everyone. [...] Continue reading SI.com: Confessions Of An Agent Just a few more items from Monday’s news that three UNC players are permanently ineligible. Dick Baddour said there would be no appeal because the cases were not strong enough. Also interesting to note is Baddour said he thought about dismissing all three two weeks ago instead of sending Robert Quinn and Greg Little’s respective [...] Continue reading More On The NCAA Investigation Note: I accidentally un-published this piece some time very early this morning which explains why it disappeared. Carry on. UNC announced that WR Greg Little and DE Robert Quinn have both been declared permenatnly ineligible by the NCAA. Also, Marvin Austin has been dismissed from the team, also for NCAA violations. University of North Carolina [...] Continue reading Little, Quinn Ruled Ineligible; Austin Dismissed In much the same way you or I would discuss our trip to see an oral surgeon. [...] Continue reading Deunta Williams Talks About His NCAA Experience Or maybe we should call it the Good Enough, Bad, and Ugly Report because good enough was what the Tar Heels pieced together against a Clemson team that is strugg-a-ling. In all, this game was a case of the total being greater than the sum of its parts. The offense stunk yet ground out three [...] Continue reading The Good, Bad, and Ugly Report: Clemson Something tells me Doc’s Good, Bad and Ugly is going to put more emphasis on the last one. It wasn’t a pretty game, for either team really. I think the proper euphemism for such a game is “defensive struggle” and that is probably about right though I would not discount offensive ineptitude in this one.
