I don't feel ruled. But Im just glad someone is raising a stink at UNC.

I hate unc more than all state fan combined. Just trust me on that one.

Trying so hard and achieving so little. This is why I love ECU. Well, I'm off to the optometrist to make sure I'm still 20/20. Don't wanna be squinting at our tiny scoreboards all season.

8/8/2010 2:00:40 AM

Less whinny, bitchy, geeky, virgin, uptight, overstressed, very uncool asshats than raleigh.

Thats why I love ECU.

8/8/2010 2:08:10 AM

When we lost to ECU at home a few years back I had beer spilled on me by three different ECU fans within 5 minutes of getting into the bleachers before the game had even started. Y'all need to learn to handle your alcohol.

8/8/2010 2:46:18 AM

why was "very overstressed" in there? you had a semi decent 9th grade insult going then you had to throw a seemingly random insult. Just some constructive criticism. Gotta look out for our little sisters.

8/8/2010 2:54:33 AM

I disagree. I thought overstressed was the funniest one he threw in there.

8/8/2010 3:33:36 AM

So 9th graders spilling beer on state fans causing them to be over stressed?

got it

8/8/2010 5:03:36 AM

9th grade reading level possibly but no guarantee. Of course a 9th grader more than likely possesses the proper motor skills necessary to not spill his damn beer. Isn't the first lesson in beer 101 don't spill the damn beer?

8/8/2010 6:39:11 AM

Why are we arguing with an ECU fan in here? Get back to laughing at UNC. On that note, whatevere happened to the few UNC fans who would post here, like JCTarheel or something like that?

8/8/2010 6:43:12 AM

we can always turn to MA's titties and that guy with the UNC face tattoo for a good laugh.

so a guy i have never heard of from a sports network that wants to take unc out for a nice steak dinner and never call again is supposed to be credible now? i will wait until the ncaa decides to announce their own brand of b.s.

8/8/2010 9:42:18 PM

I love how everyone on here wants to attack, attack, attack.

Nobody ever vouched for the blog's credibility, just posting relevant info. Shit, we haven't heard anything on this story in 2 weeks, other than the NCAA was back on campus, and one of them may or may not be a UNC grad, with all of the original smoke, the story sort of petered out.

The folks at IC will probably jump at any chance to be done with this, so I am sure they got a bit overexcited, but its still relevant that a major national College Football reporter, with connections such as Maisel thinks that man tits is gonna walk on these charges.

Odds are good that isn't the only thing he swallowed tonight

8/8/2010 10:47:01 PM

Alright, doubt this all you want but I have some interesting news from my friend who graduated in may. He studied sports management at state and has friends and family who are agents. He says that his agent buddy is looking at UNC's tight end. He told him that the situation looks bad because, according to the agent here, there were a lot of unc's players at the party in miami.

Again. Don't shoot the messenger, I'm just telling you what my roommate of two years told me he heard from an agent.

8/8/2010 11:34:54 PM

in all fairness to Ivan Maisel, when he said that it did sound sort of garbled or something like he was clearing his throat.

with that said: put some popcorn on

8/8/2010 11:45:32 PM

lol on IC someone's taking Maisel quote about good news "before season" and using the before bit as a qualifier as in it's not bad news necessarily. as in the good news could come during the season

[Edited on August 9, 2010 at 1:02 AM. Reason : .]

the people over at IC are delusional: let's emphasize a completely different part of the quote than the one the speaker intended.

Quote :

"Maybe instant replay should apply to radio as well as TV. ESPN's Ivan Maisel sent the blogosphere into a fit this afternoon when he said on-air that he expected "good news" for UNC regarding Marvin Austin. WRAL tracked down the audio file and even transcribed it. The guy was pretty clear about it, and for ESPN's senior writer for college football speaks in such definitive terms, you have to take notice. But a couple of hours later, Maisel took a mulligan, posting on Twitter that he meant to say he doesn't expect good news! Here's the tweet: "Hold on, Heels. Re Austin, I tried to say on ESPN Radio I don't expect good news for UNC before season. Maybe I swallowed the word 'don't.'" So, we're back to square one, Austin is still in limbo, and more than a few fans might want to get their blood pressure checked."

8/9/2010 9:17:37 AM

(disclaimer: UNC-ch could still get off but...)

i love the fact that Maisel corrected himself. I'm sure UNC-CH fans were tweeting him and thanking him and giving props etc. Those tarhole douche's were already set to talk serious smack on the generic sports msg boards and now the "correction" comes, halaaaarious

8/9/2010 9:22:28 AM

^^ Love the WRAL tone in that piece. Almost sounded like one of those angry fans that had gotten excited over the news. Weird how that works.

Wichard is obviously full of shit, and it will be the least surprising thing ever when Marvin signs with him.

Losing just MA will not make as big an impact as some of you are making it out to be. That D-line is loaded.

If they were losing Greg Little, that's a whole different tune because he is by far the best player on that offense.

MA is somewhat replaceable with just another big body in the middle.

i wouldnt go that far...he is a big factor in the inside run game...linebackers cant get to the running backs if the o-lineman bust through the d-line...and your secondary's coverage is only as good as your pass rush...if the QB has all day to throw, it doesn't matter how good your secondary is...even Darrell Revis can't cover a good WR if the QB has 10 seconds to throw

although since Wilson is so mobile, he can make his own time
