official. ...UNCs Hairston will notbe reinstated

[itsbotime]

Too hilarious, since when is missing 49 Fts not concerning? Good luck w that. I am more worried about Villanova and Duke after watching your performance against UT

Cool. That's how Michigan State, Louisville, and Kentucky felt.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

Don't feel too bad for him. Great guy, but he made some mistakes and he is paying for them now. If he had returned, Carolina could have been looking at a 1 seed, but given the team's play so far this season a final four is still a possibility...they are just about unbeatable when they make their free throws.

Yeah, good guys always mix guns, drugs and speeding. Probably earned money as a child care specialist with his pedigree.

Of course, if he had enrolled in classes that actually existed, and was required to go, he would not have had so much down time. Idle hands are the devils workshop.

 

[ORRange]

Two losses at home by 6 points when they missed 49 free throws. Not concerning in the least. You'll see when we come to the Dome next month. Hope you remain in the top 5 until then, this UNC team does its best against better competition.

As I said in another thread, I wanted N. Car. at full strength when they come up here. But regardless, we'll just kick butt more convincingly. Be careful what you wish for because with only one outside threat the game could get seriously out of hand. You'll be the one who sees.

We got an outside threat back earlier this week (Leslie)...but yeah, maybe beating 1,2, and 3 were just flukes. Guess we'll find out soon enough.

According to the authorities the gun wasn't his and according to the NCAA there was nothing wrong with the classes PJ took, so I guess you are just misinformed.

I guess the way you see it losing to UAB, Belmont and Texas were the flukes. But they weren't. Your team (especially McAdoo) is an awful FT shooting team. That's like us saying we could have won more games if Arinze was a 70% foul shooter. It's a part of the game skippy.

 

[longislandcuse]

If anyone knows about the "We would've won if we made our free throws argument" its Cuse fans. Losses are losses and if you're a bad free throw shooting team, you can't keep using that as an argument.

Hey, I like it when people overlook us. That's what 1, 2, and 3 (preseason) did this season. Didn't work out well for them, but maybe 'Cuse will be different. That's why they play the games. Our starting center played all of 20 seconds in the Texas game, but he will be back in two weeks. UNC should be a much more dangerous team then than they are now, and that is saying a lot. We'll see what happens.

Obviously Kentucky is not the #1team in the country may not be top 25

Anyone else disappointed we didn't get unc twice this yr? Even w PJ this is the yr to get them at the dean dome IMO...

We plan on getting progressively worse. We dream BIG.

I saw him play over 20 minutes against UAB and Belmont. What's your excuse for those terrible loses?

Fts... obviously.

 

[HOFCeluck]

So we get the 1987 title right? Because apparently fts don't matter now?

 

[realorange]

Can't understand this decision by the NCAA. Roy said Hairston worked hard in pre-season practice. He did everything asked of him. Jeez, that should have been enough to let him play. Guess it didn't matter that the SUV was rented by a notorious booster. And the gun? Oh, it was on the ground, so probably dropped by the tooth fairy. And the pot, just a little that didn't matter.
The NCAA finally gets something right.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

Yeah. The NC troopers determined that the gun next to the car driven by the UNC star did not belong to the UNC star. So, who did they put it on. A non-player. A passer by

I don't think the NCAA necessarily got something right in this case. I look at it this way-McDonald paid back $1800 to regain his eligibility, so it is entirely possible that Hairston's extra benefits totaled an amount that neither he nor his family could afford, or Hairston could have bombed his Fall classes and been academically ineligible anyway making the further appeals pointless.

If things reach that point, there is no sense in UNC moving forward, and by making a final decision now it might allow Hairston a chance to sign to play professionally somewhere this year while allowing UNC to move forward without the cloud of a possible return hanging over the team. My two cents

Apparently Hairston's biggest problem wasn't the benefits...it was that he allegedly lied to the NCAA (or, at least, the NCAA found inconsistencies in his story that he couldn't account for). They don't like it if you lie to them...unless your name is Johnny Manzeil, Cam Newton, or Lance Thomas.

They didn't put it on anyone. Perhaps you have never been to Durham. Not exactly an unusual place to find a nine. The police did a fingerprint analysis of the gun and no one in the vehicle matched up.

I'm sure that the fact Hairston twice used an SUV leased by a convicted felon and NC booster had more to do with it. NC admin stated "We had enough information that we all agreed upon with the university and the NCAA to submit reinstatement for Leslie, but we just didn't have it for P.J."

Kentucky was selling 40-0 shirts because they honestly thought they were going to go undefeated this season.:rolling:

Leslie used cars provided by the same person, and he is playing today, so there's more than that. Like I said, it appears that Hairston wasn't completely honest with the NCAA during his questioning.

Except you beat #5, #6, and #19.

We're number 2 my friend.
