Losses will not be nearly as grave as expected, but there will be some. Likely around 4 of our starters, only one of those being on offense (whom most everyone is aware of by now). Not gonna name any names at this time but will follow up during the week and share as things progress. This alone will make it very tough for us to win, but I am now back to at least being excited for the game because we do have a shot if this information holds. When it was rumored to be 8-10 players late last week I had gone ahead and blocked the game and season out of my mind as we had no prayer.

Quite a roller coaster us Heel fans are on right now. We probably will not know who is in and who is out until out defense takes the field for the first possesion on Sat night.

Y'all are screwed.

Well y'all were already screwed before all this happened.

I think the problem is the uncertainty. You really can't afford to play a guy if there's even a reasonable chance that he will be deemed ineligible.

Thanks for the info, randy. I'm guessing we'll know a little bit more by the end of the week.

All I know is, I'll be in Section 318 with my immediate family and my LSU family come Saturday evening. I can't wait.

It won't matter who is in or out, UNC has no chance against LSU.

I would bet everything that I own that more than Austin will not be playing on Sat night.

Does this include the two CBs that were dismissed from the team or is it 4 in addition to those?

The CB's were not dismissed. That was a bunk report. They were at Meet the Heels day in uniform yesterday afternoon.

Bamafan, you putting down a 4 digit wager on the Tigers this weekend?

I don't care if they all play, but something doesn't add up here. If the tutor was writing papers for several players, that's obviously academic fraud. LSU had a player who was suspended for the entire regular season for a similar offense.

We need to get back to the top just to put a stop to things like this.

We have had a rough couple of years, but you are still a middle of the pack team in the freaking ACC.

Meh, what difference does it make I guess. You will make your bet and then disappear when times come to deliver.

Same song and dance as always.

I agree. They will say the "investigation" is inconclusive and a decision will be made next week. The suspensions will be made for game two.
