Originally posted @ 3:17pm. Updated at 3:21pm, 3:25pm, 3:27pm, 3:31pm and 4:20pm The cracks are starting to appear more prominently in the University of North Carolina’s historically famous, impenetrable cone of silence.

Friday, August 6, 2010
I have followed message boards of different college programs around the country for almost 15 years(mainly NC State, UNC and Wake Forest). Message boards are often ridiculed by the print/television/radio media, coaches, athletic directors, and even message board posters themselves. While sometimes these forums are criticized for good reasons, in regards to major news stories [...]

“Oh! what a tangled web we weave, When first we practise to deceive!” — Sir Walter Scott (Scottish novelist) Last night, SFN ran a fun story (linked here) focused on Marvin Austin’s pictures and tweets and is currently blowing up the internet with attention and traffic. Some of the pictures and comments served [...]

Hat tip to the quick find by the great team at TomahawkNation, who have to be following this story even more closely now that the University of Florida has been connected to it. The National Football Post has a an entry linked here that TomahawkNation summarizes as follows: * UNC athletics officials are not optimistic. [...]

Sunday, July 18, 2010
If we polled NC State fans for some of their least favorite players in college football history, South Carolina’s Weslye Saunders would rank much higher than anyone would ever expect from a tight end that plays for a non-conference opponent that calls Columbia, SC home. Last August, we highlighted the following classless comment from Weslye [...]

Thursday, July 15, 2010
In the wake of major news that the NCAA is currently investigating the University of North Carolina’s football program, we thought it would be an appropriate time to highlight a major thread from our message boards from February of this year.

Saturday, June 12, 2010
The NCAA cites USC for a loss of institutional control, and once again you’re reminded that there’s no segment of American life in which crime pays quite as well as big-time amateur athletics. Video: Dee discusses USC violations No incentive not to cheat in college athletics Everything below this line is quoted from the previously [...]

Friday, May 7, 2010
A couple of weeks ago we highlighted some apparent recruiting violations committed by UConn students in this post. In the entry we focused on the disconnect between WRAL’s omission of coverage of substantial recruiting issues at UConn when compared to their historical coverage of making monstrous mountains out of molehills when NC State fans “FaceBook’d” [...]

Monday, April 26, 2010
Over the last year, we have found two different ways to almost insure that a topic gets covered by WRAL’s blog: (1) First – create a thread on our message board. Often the topic of thread doesn’t even have to be NC State related; can just be something from Deadspin or somewhere else. If the [...]

Thursday, February 18, 2010
Maybe we can talk about something not related to NC State? DraftExpress.com currently has Ed Davis as a lottery pick in the 2010 draft. More specifically, the site thinks that he will be the fifth player taken overall. As I said earlier, Davis is going to miss some time due to a broken wrist, but [...]

Monday, December 14, 2009
Just last week SFN highlighted the difference between local recruiting budgets in this well-received entry. Almost simultaneously, the University of Tennessee’s football program came under scrutiny for the use of its Hostess Program to ‘lure’ recruits to the University.

Tuesday, August 18, 2009
“The NCAA hasn’t busted a single big-time men’s basketball program in nearly two years. It hasn’t nailed a major football program in nearly 15 months. It’s the longest stretch of compliance for the once iron-fisted organization in 46 years and the second longest ever according to an analysis of the NCAA’s major infractions database.” [...]

Wednesday, June 10, 2009
I’m sure that most all of us are ready to get back to talking about sports, considering the tumultuous events of the past week here at NC State. That in mind, here’s some stuff that’s been rattling around the college sports scene: Is BC Getting It’s Own “Chris Weinke?” Without doubt, the roster at BC [...]

Friday, April 10, 2009
NC State’s Director of Compliance asked a student Thursday to shutter his ‘John Wall to State’ group on Facebook.

Thursday, March 26, 2009
“Quite frankly, we bring in $12 million to the university, nothing to do with state funds,” UConn Head Coach Jim Calhoun shouted at a reporter back in February, when he was asked about being the high paid employee of the Commonwealth of Connecticut. “We make $12 million a year for this university.
