The latest scoop on UNC football.

[SpiderMonkey]

I am hearing maybe NINE defensive starters miss the LSU game along with WR Greg Little [comes from someone close to the program]. Talk within the program about a self-imposed bowl ban. Sorry Heels backers.

This article has Marvin Austin out for the year. Not sure how much of the new conference was on nationally, but Butch Davis was already trying to distance himself from the tutor who worked with his own son. What a sorry ass.

UNC/LSU SpiderMonkey Closing Line ODDS:

LSU -4, or less +250
LSU -5 or -5.5 +350
LSU -6 or -6.5 EVEN
LSU -7 or more +250

[Domer]

how long has he known that the defensive starters will miss the game?

because if its just in the past week or so, thats 9 people that ran with the 2s that have VERY little time to come up to speed

[sharpcat]

As usual pinnacle is the only book that has the balls to hang a line on this game.

[MartinBlank]

The best part is she was a tutor for Davis' 15 year old son-----for the last 5 years----ummm, yeah Butch. This isn't going to end well.

[jjgold]

Why is line so low?

If all these guys out They should get smashed?

[wrongturn]

Marvin Austin is suspended for some other reason. UNC could be without up to 16 players for the LSU game.

[ProfaneReality]

was looking forward to this game, now its ruined

UNC 12 players out confirmed.

[babyanni]

Lsu had better not blow this game both starting cbs and both rbs are out Quinn, little, Austin, and the safety searcy all out.

[MendozaLine]

I got this game at -6 late last night. Now its off the board at the book I placed it at (wagerchief). Glad I got that shit in.

[coloradobuff]

bet it at pk about a week ago..talk about a huge line move

[umdterps]

Wish I had locked a bet in on LSU. Can't see the Tigers blowing it with that many starters out for UNC.

North Carolina lost before it even stepped on the plane this morning.

A total of 15 players have either been declared ineligible or remain in limbo for Saturday's season opener against LSU for violations of school and/or NCAA rules, according to a release this morning from the university.

Starters Marvin Austin, Charles Brown, Kendric Burney, Greg Little and Robert Quinn have all been declared ineligible, along with backup defensive end Michael McAdoo. Six others, including the 1-2 punch running back combo of Shaun Draughn and Ryan Houston, starting safety Da'Norris Searcy, and backups Linwan Euwell, safety Brian Gupton and safety Jonathan Smith will all be held out of the game while the investigations continue.

The total number of games those 12 players are expected to miss has not been determined, as the NCAA's investigation into possible improper contact with agents and academic misconduct continues.
The Tar Heels will be missing their leading receiver, the top three rushers (Little was third), the top two punt returners, two of the top three interception leaders, and two of the top four tacklers. The two-deep on the preseason depth chart at running back, strong safety and right defensive end will now start with the third-string player, or others will have to be moved around.

I never mind anything bad happening to UNC...

It has moved to 7-7.5 at most places, wish I jumped on it earlier in the week....

[ouman101]

I got it at -6.5 yesterday afternoon. I'm contemplating even putting some more on it at -7.5. It seems like to me that its going to almost be LSU vs. UNC's 2nd and 3rd string team. On top of the fact that it has to be a huge let down for the rest of the team, Butch Davis has to be feeling the heat.....

Anybody else thinking about playing LSU at -7.5?

[mmike032]

would have been a great game.
now???

[jram68]

u shoulda read my post yesterday when LSU was at -4.
I hate to see this happen to my beloved tarheels when they had so much talent. Maybe they should recruit players with more character.

All over LSU -6.5 this morning. Going to be a route perhaps. No way they can stay in this game with all those starters missing.

[blackbeSSt]

bet the farm on lsu now!

[Superman455]

Thanks for the update

[dbldown]

It's not going to be pretty.

[orangeheaven]

Gonna go heavy on LSU. Hope you're right.

[BadNina]

u shoulda read my post yesterday when LSU was at -4.

Nope..you should have listened to ZBoiz when LSU was +3. I got them at +1 back when this story first started rumbling last week. I feel pretty good about it.

[spongerat]

wow crazy movement,

[spongerat]

crazy line movement, too bad for NC
