Terrible take.

 

UNC didn't look good last year either. They got hot in the tourney and got to the Nat'l championship.

 

College basketball is all about who plays the best towards the end of the season and March Madness.

Yeah, UNC was not worthy of a bid last year, IMO. Especially with the ACC looking so insanely weak in the regular season. 

Then the tourney comes and all the ACC teams go on a tear.

I don't doubt it. UNC was a lot more careful than the Caliparis of the world but those kids were definitely getting kickbacks from boosters, favors around town, etc.

Yeah, Carolina steered clear of the guys who were just blatantly trying to go to the highest bidder in their forced pit stop along the way to the NBA once the NBA no longer allowed kids to jump straight from HS.

 

That’s lol funny

Poor state fans.

Every time I almost feel sorry for them I'm reminded of what colossal jackasses they are unworthy of the slightest sympathy.

I’ve got 2 degrees from state.   And you?

 

also how is Tami Hansborough, joe forte, Harrison Barnes etc exactly staying away from the highest bidder?  To think unc is somehow above the corruption of college sports is fuging hilarious

Get over the inferiority complex. It's always y'all who try to start the pissing match. No one was taking shots at state in this thread. Because state is irrelevant and no one cares. Deal with it.

No one was taking shots at state fans.  Got it.   Remind me again the year you graduated from unc?   
 

and are you denying that Tami and Wanda Hightower didn’t get jobs because their kids played for unc?   Everyone is dirty don’t act like unc is some poster child of integrity

What's the issue?

 

College students now get paid. They should have been getting paid. If you want the best of the best you gotta pay. NCAA has been screwing student athletes for decades. It's now the students turn to make profit.

 

Get that money college athletes!

Yep

      Brown on BY9 while talking to Chris Long

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, I hear what y'all are saying, but Derrick could have been positive without being negative.  He essentially accused people of not seeing Bryce's improvement because of their desire to not be wrong. He could've kept it about Bryce and the team. For example, he could've said: "Bryce has made strides, and we believe in him. This coming season, his continued improvement will turn a lot of people into believers."  That would've been supportive of his teammate and sent a message to the doubters. That being said, his tact almost summoned and left the door ajar for more skepticism. That's my take anyway. Bryce has improved from the bottom to perhaps skirting the line between the bottom third and mid-third at best...after three seasons. We've all seen it. Yay! In my mind, Bryce has still got a long way to go and a short time to get there, but my expectations are top five--at least top 10--always! Yes, I am a fan, so there's that, but I don't believe it's unreasonable to expect excellence. Hopefully the Panthers FO has the same mindset (and that doesn't even necessarily have anything to do with what we gave up to acquire him). That is the lens I'm looking through. Derrick Brown has his homer glasses on. He just needs to be more diplomatic and thoughtful with his words in my opinion, but I get it that he's a good teammate.

      Canes vs Canadians Gm 2 Rd 3 7pm

      By organicrusty1201 · Posted

      I have no doubt the Canes will come out like gangbusters, huge bounce back from game one - my only concern is Freddie, if he lets in a couple of softies and Dobes stays hot we could be in trouble.
