Week 11 - Jan 12 to 18

I find myself thinking, other than the really top teams who have their detractors because people get tired of seeing them always win, I don't think there is a more commonly disliked program than UNC here on this board (well okay never mind Tennessee, that's a whole 'nother thing). Considering they don't really ever do much, they sure do inspire a lot of hate. Of course some of it is from long storied, bitter rivalries, but it goes deeper than that.

The University of Not-real Classes will never engender respect from me after learning about this: UNC athletics report finds 18 years of academic fraud - CNN

18 years! 3100 student-athletes involved! Talk about lacking institutional control or (more likely) just willingly looking the other way.

No matter how our season ends a high point will be beating both their men's and women's teams this season.

Try living in NC. UNC fans tend to have a way about them where they look down on others as inferior. I’ve heard for years about “the Carolina way” as if their standard or way of doing things was holier than thou. There has always been a perception perpetuated by their fans that they do things “right” whereas State or others can only win when they cheat or cut corners in some fashion. They will bring up Jimmy V and his ending in Raleigh to prop up that myth. Yet no school in our State has had more scandals than UNC in my lifetime, and theirs actually are systematic and deal with academic integrity and fraud!

Alot of good people are UNC alums and fans. But they also have a segment of the fanbase who give off elitism. Watching the poop show that’s happening to them with Bill Bilichek has been fantastic. They could use another decade of embarrassment and irrelevance to humble that fanbase a bit more IMO.
 
Kind of apropos that the Heels team that won their one title had the notorious Marion Jones as a key player. Not that she did anything wrong while at Chapel Hill, but that must makes school reunions awkward.

Never understood why Jazzy chose USC anyway. Seemed odd. Maybe looking ahead to playing with Juju?

Purportedly USC WBB has big $$ for NIL. Jazzy committed before completing visits to her other finalists and has been suggested the offer had time constraints. Don’t know if true but it would also explain getting #1 prospect Saniyah Hall’s commitment last summer well before the signing period opened.

Next season USC will having, barring departures, guards/wings Watkins, Davidson, Kennedy Smith and Hall as well as 6’4” Australian forward Sitaya Fagan. USC wiill need another pg and a reliable post player. Anticipate seeing Gottlieb’s approach for managing the team with so many ball dominant shooting guards/wings.
 
@YoDore what the heck happened?

Added Vandy to my 5 team parlay, easy money I thought. Thinking I was gonna be eating at Ruth Chris this weekend and ordering the biggest steak they got.

Me at around 8:47 realizing Vandy didn't cover and I'll be eating Bumblebee Tuna salad and crackers instead of a juicy tomahawk steak.
