He then says that Butch threw Powell aside. Well, isn't posting this sensitive information about a kid that your kids grew up with and apparently were friends with essentially throwing him under the bus? Good God, it amazes me the length at which the Wolfpeckers will go to try to hurt UNC and try to feel like they are Crackride legends. It's really pathetic. Grow up!Originally posted by PACKed House:

My kids played and grew up around Tydreke so I know him very well. He was used up and tossed aside by Butchy. Some indisputable facts:
1) Ty has NEVER been able to read beyond a fourth grade level.
2) Hertford Co. HS rates as one of the worst in the state AND USA( by standized test scores).
3) Ty was unable to pass at HCHS so he went to a county alternative school.
4) One of Ty's HS assistant coaches was hired by UNC.
Disputable but not by locals:
1.) Ty NEVER completed HS. His transcript was altered to allow him to matriculate. He was still awaiting clearinghouse though he was already living in CH but he had no, and I mean no, money from home.
2,) UNC knew he was illiterate and brought his coach along to "guide" him.
3.) Young man who took SAT for Ty never paid.
4.) HS transcript was submitted to clearinghouse multiple times, rejected then altered then resubmitted until he was finally cleared.
Disputable but not by myself
1.) UNC hired MANY HS coaches who acted as mentor to their individual stars.
2.) UNC created fictitious jobs for these coaches.
3.) Former HS coaches can be seen at EVERY UNC game on the sidelines working as FULL staff members. These extra coaches give a huge competitive advantage to the cheats.
Zero? Every news organization reported at the end of June that the NCAA had reopened the UNC investigation. ESPN, CBS sport, CNN, ABC news. Google it, you can find all the sources you want. ESPN updated it a couple days ago, stating the NCAA will not offer a statement on any ongoing investigation.Originally posted by lucustookis:

Matt 1976 son you are pitiful. Remember Erik Highsmith? My wife is a teacher at our local high school and for years she and I had the gym decorated for the Prom and put the prom on for the kids. I'm talking spending 10K to 15K dollars in sets and refreshments. (Kids pay for it with their tickets) I'm around the kids a lot and as close as I am to our football team even closer with them. I lend advice and encouragement. I could tell you a lot about Erik and many of the kids on our team. Things like what is posted above are not very hard to know if you are involved with kids.Originally posted by matt 1976:

UNC is the one that is harming the kids. Did you hear Powell on the air?? Someone on the Blitz board of yours suggest when that is brought up you fight back by playing the audio?? Yea let's do that because that is what UNC had accepted and kept eligible. UNC did nothing to improve Ty Powells education just as they did with McAdoo when he lost his eligibility and they claimed they would honor his scholarship. Stuck him back in no show classes where he learned nothing. Dude get your head out of your ass. I ain't hurting any kids.Originally posted by matt 1976:
Always remember Otis, your goal in life is to impress your wolfpecker friends and becoming a message board legend. It doesn't matter how many kids the UNC-Raleigh fans have to try to harm, just as long as you bring UNC down. Your fanbase never let's me down. The majority of you must live miserable lives. SMH!
Wow, that same thread you're speaking of has a lot of racism in it too.Originally posted by Otis4411:

Wow.. When a coach sits in a home and tells the parents about the quality education their kid will get than I say yea they have a responsibility there. Not every kid is college material and certainly a lot of athletes are not but the college system is setup to help them through with courses they can take and pass with some work. Pushing these kids through and all they do is play ball and do no classroom work is just wrong. It's wrong to the kid and its certainly wrong to every school that competes against Carolina. as for the last comment I quoted it's been proven that the black athletes at Carolina have no say in the courses they take or the major. You got that head in deep son.Originally posted by matt 1976:
On a side note, is it really the responsibility of any university to "educate" the kid? Doesn't every kid have the freedom to take whatever classes they want to take?

47% of AFAM classes were attended by athletes, what % of athletes make up the student body Matt? Can you honestly say you don't think they were steered there? While you're at please explain how Marvin " CHEESECAKE" Austin *( my all time favorite Hole) was placed in an advanced AFAM class when he first enrolled? Did he choose it ?Originally posted by matt 1976:
You are such a damn joke Otis! The quentissential Wolfpecker, lol! Please do me a favor and explain to everyone how you have "proven" that all black athletes at Carolina don't have a choice or a say in the classes they take. And then please explain to me the thousands of black athletes at Carolina who were not involved with any AFAM classes. Now run over to Crackride for your answers, I'll wait.
This is the quote from your boy Otis that I take issue with: "as for the last comment I quoted it's been proven that the black athletes at Carolina have no say in the courses they take or the major."Originally posted by 1bburgfan:

As much as you all hate everything Carolina, this quote is just false. It's just one more thing that the knuckle dragging Wolfpeckers believe. Please look up Marcus Paige and get back to me.
you came here to feel ashamed & humiliated?Originally posted by BMACHeel50:
LOL. Popped over here for the first time in about four years for sheets and giggles and you guys still don't disappoint.
Add Butch Davis to the 99% then because he said he did make the Harvard comment. Said it was tongue and cheek but he did say it.Originally posted by UNC71-00:
This thread is too funny.
99% of the guys here on Powell's side are the same ones who listen to Rush and talk about personal accountability (as do I).
Yet if someone says something bad about UNC, he's a victim. You guys are a riot.
