Former NC State basketball player Anthony Grundy and current UNC football player AJ Blue both got DUI's recently. Grundy's was yesterday, and Blue's was last weekend.

Grundy's WRAL article appears on the front page of wral.com, right next to articles about statutory rape and indecent liberties. The article came out the day following the DUI, complete with a mugshot.

Blue's WRAL article appears buried in wralsportsfan.com and is not even listed on wral.com. The article came out 3 days after the DUI and does not feature a mugshot.


and whoever wrote Grundy's article felt the need to include this little gem at the bottom of the story:

Quote :

"On Sunday, former N.C. State guard Gavin Grant was charged in connection with a September home invasion."

and link to the Grant story in the "Related News" section.

Yeah, I thought that^ was pretty telling.

Next thing you know, they'll run a story on Corchiani having unpaid parking tickets or something.

2/3/2011 10:37:50 AM

some paranoid motherfuckers up in here

2/3/2011 11:40:31 AM

fair enough, i guess, we know who grundy and grant are because they were fairly good basketball players.

and yet, 3 weeks ago, the best UNC football player of all time --


-- OF ALL TIME --

-- pleaded guilty to knowingly hiring an abused 16-year-old prostitute. a search on wral.com reveals no mention.

i mean, if former players are fair game, why no mention of LT? is it because he wasn't a star, or because the crime wasn't remarkable? gotta be one of those.

2/3/2011 11:53:24 AM

maybe because LT didn't rape that girl in Raleigh?

2/3/2011 12:37:01 PM

I think Grundy's story was featured prominently because Grundy was an immensely popular athlete in the Triangle

Whereas AJ Blue's story was buried because who the fuck is AJ Blue I've never even heard of him

2/3/2011 1:17:49 PM

I don't see why providing related stories is an issue. Especially when a paper written by Tar Heels does it to one of their own.

2/3/2011 1:19:36 PM

nevermind the fact that WRAL is based in Raleigh and is directly across the fucking street from campus

^ I'd like to read the article (can't access at work).

From those two sentences, Parrish is correct that we currently cannot compete and we can't land a big name coach. Maybe Yow can change the latter.

Jesus Christ is there anyone on the CBS payroll who hasn't taken a giant dump on State

2/10/2011 11:49:10 AM

^^Parrish says NCSU will never compete and that compared to Duke/UNC, has no tradition.

He's pretty much flat out wrong on this issue.

Saying it's the worst best-paying job in college hoops merely because of proximity to UNC / Duke is laughable. Some fans are unrealistic.

On the whole, most State fans are pretty f'n patient. See 1990-2006.

"Despite an underwhelming resume and 10 years at State, and the subsequent struggles he's experienced in Tempe, Herb continues to be the spike folks in the national media love to hammer into us. The talk, of course, has racheted up quite a bit of late. Sidney Lowe's final season of disaster is nearing its close, and the juxtaposition of his failures against Herb's minor success in the last-half of his career in Raleigh is low-hanging fruit for folks with an axe to grind."

"N.C. State's O'Brien on a diet of cupcakes Fresh off a bowl win, N.C. State looks just about ready to play the big boys. Too bad, because Coach Tom O'Brien didn't put any big boys on the 2011 schedule. O'Brien controls the nonconference matchups, and he scheduled four likely wins rather than invigorating his Carter-Finley customers. State's most courageous foray is a trip to Cincinnati, a roller-coaster Big East team that finished 4-8. The other three opponents will travel to Raleigh: Central Michigan (3-9, 2-6 Mid-American) and two teams that don't even belong to the top NCAA subdivision, Liberty (8-3) and South Alabama (10-0)."

I thought the AD controlled the OOC matchups, and the coach has a "say" in it, if you will..

2/18/2011 12:26:33 PM

he controls the non-conference matchups like 5 years in advance. he hardly had time to have an effect on this season. blame Fowler and Tennessee for pulling out

Then we lost Wilson and Irving. Who knows what we'll field next season. I don't mind a softer schedule, if nothing more than to see what we've got on our hands. It's not like a tough, though OOC schedule would make a difference either way.

2/18/2011 12:33:41 PM

Aren't the schedules made many years in advance? And IIRC, we had Tennessee scheduled but it was moved to 2012 season because of the Chic-Fil-a kickoff thing....whatever.

2/18/2011 1:12:50 PM

The schedule still sucks. I'm not defending the guy, but he's not exactly wrong.

2/18/2011 1:27:05 PM

The schedule sucks in terms of hype for these games, but losing Irving, Spencer, Williams, Davis, and RW makes it so that I'm totally fine with not playing a tough OOC line up at all when we're gonna be breaking in an entirely new offense. But yeah I don't think you can blame TOB for the poor schedule and to be honest after a 9-4 I'd rather have some guaranteed wins than a tough schedule. I'd like to see a much better schedule after we've established the program for a few years. That guy needs to realize the positives in that - I also don't think it was TOB's decision to bounce VT and replace them with Virginia and that knocks our schedule down a lot too.

Yes he is, his name is Javier Gonzalez!

He's a journalist...not a State fan. He doesn't have to realize the positives in having a cake schedule...he has to comment on how shitty it is so his website can get hits and State fans can act like babies about it. There is no reason to complain about that write-up. If UNC has the same schedule as us and the same article gets written, we're calling them out on the schedule and applauding the author for calling them out.

2/18/2011 1:46:25 PM

I would rather play a weak schedule anyway. We aren't competing for the BCS title.

2/18/2011 1:58:11 PM

^loser! why do you accept mediocrity?

2/18/2011 2:02:31 PM

Haha...if we go 13-0 and get shut out of the championship game then I will come back and say I was wrong.

My thoughts exactly.

2/18/2011 3:01:51 PM

There's a difference between weak and playing East Butt Fuck State twice in on season

We have to win 7 games just to get to a bowl

2/18/2011 3:03:15 PM

Five FBS wins either way

2/18/2011 3:09:03 PM

^ never thought about it that way. Makes sense.

2/18/2011 3:39:36 PM

I thought I remembered reading that the USA game counts as an FBS game because they are in their transition year?

2/18/2011 4:02:55 PM

Quote :

"We have to win 7 games just to get to a bowl"

Like Ernie said, it's 5 FBS wins either way. And we should have no problem beating Liberty and S. Alabama. I don't like playing 2 FCS teams in a season but as far as bowl eligibility goes, it really doesn't make it any harder to become bowl eligible.

2/18/2011 4:03:19 PM

The point is that you have 10 games to get those 5 wins instead of 11

2/18/2011 4:28:52 PM

Technically we can still be bowl eligible if we lose to East Butt Fuck State, as long as we beat West Butt Fuck State plus 5 other FBS teams.

But that would be really terrible.

2/18/2011 4:58:10 PM

Beating East Butt Fuck State might be harder than you think. They have a really good Tight End.


yeah, that's the joke i went with.

2/18/2011 5:05:07 PM

damn, south alabama went 10-0 last season?

2/18/2011 5:06:43 PM

But their schedule included the School for the Deaf, The Little Sisters of the Poor, and the Carolina Panthers, so its not really that impressive

[Edited on February 18, 2011 at 5:09 PM. Reason : x]

2/18/2011 5:09:33 PM

I just would have guessed, as fans, you would at least like to see one or two more entertaining games. We don't have to have all tough games, but we could have found at least one decent team to replace one of the cupcakes. I don't think that's asking too much.

Nice.

I wonder how many false starts they had.

2/18/2011 5:31:46 PM

I wouldnt rather play shitty teams but in the long run it probably looks better if we have two 9 win seasons back to back even if one year we got to that number by playing 2 shit teams

2/18/2011 5:34:26 PM

Offside ... still offside ... wrong way ... still offside ... why am I even talking to you
