  1. One last post, a link to the bottom 10 hits of the week.http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=2585138The coveted No. 5 spot goes to NC State, which lost at home to Akron. While losing to the Zips wouldn't usually merit placement in this hallowed ground, Chuck Amato's swipes at Akron's admissions policies elevated the Wolfpack.And here's on more from one of your local Ohio papers:http://www.ohio.com/mld/ohio/sports/colleg...on/15506458.htm...How about with the fact that UA plays in the Mid-American Conference, which had the highest graduation rate of any Division I-A football league last season, with six of the 12 teams graduating at least 70 percent....Your ACC does not allow academic non-qualifiers to enroll, but you can do it in other ways. You can send them to junior colleges or prep schools to get their grades in order....And here's some more fuel to the fire: http://www.heraldsun.com/sports/18-769235.htmlGood luck against Central Michigan this weekend. I will always pull for the non-BCS system colleges over the BCS self-proclaimed elitist. We are you may say, brothers in arms. So GO ZIPS and GO PIRATES.
  2. hey toddy toddl or whaterver, [in fact, last I checked, they even accept NQ's.]. Yes NCS does. North Carolina wide receiver LaMarcus Bond, Florida defensive back Jordan Delegal, Florida wide receiver Carlos Everett, Florida defensive back Everett Lewis and North Carolina wide receiver Owen Spencer failed to meet NCAA academic minimums. http://html.wral.com/sh/blogger/wralglenn.html...Another way to track the academic philosophy of a football program is simply to count the number of a team's signees who fail to qualify. Reminder: Since the NCAA adopted a more flexible, sliding scale for GPAs and SAT/ACT scores a few years ago, it's not very difficult to qualify. A player can do it with a 2.5 core GPA and an 820 SAT score, for example, and it's possible to be a full qualifier with a core GPA as low as 2.0 (combined with a 1,010 SAT score) or with an SAT score as low as 400 (combined with a 3.55 core GPA). Many junior college coaches complain that few good players "fall" to them anymore.Here, the Wolfpack ranks dead-last in the ACC since Amato took over in Raleigh. From 2000-06, here are the numbers of ACC football signees who were not eligible to play for academic reasons during the first year after their signings: 1. N.C. State (26), 2. Clemson (21), 3t. Florida State (19), Miami (19), Virginia Tech (19), 6. Virginia (15), 7. North Carolina (13), 8. Maryland (10), 9. Boston College (2), 10t. Georgia Tech (1), Wake Forest (1), 12. Duke (0)....Don't let a few NCS fans pretending to be nice fool you guys into thinking there a bunch of nice guys. They're more bad Pack fans than there are good ones. I can tell you that first hand as a Pirate fan and Eastern North Carolinian of their superiority complexes. They're like Narcissists in every way. In their mind they're better than you and the game should have never been a contest.
  3. http://www.charlotte.com/mld/observer/sports/15496845.htmhttp://www.newsobserver.com/122/story/485335.htmlAnyone want to remind them of all their millions in BCS revenue that equates to a huge disparity in facilities and status / recognition when it comes to recruiting. Or what of all their shipping off recruits to Hargrave, etc. In fact, last I checked, they even accept NQ's. What a bunch of pansies those guys are.
  4. Thank you ZIPS for kicking the crap out of NCS. GO AKRON ZIPS AND GO ECU PIRATES!
