Carolina Hurricanes preseason is right around the corner! 

-Best blue line in the sport

-Same 3-headed goalie monster

-Grittiness in Michael Bunting

-Get the feeling that we’re going to see a ferocious Svechnikov.

Also, the war of words between UNC and the NCAA has been taken up a notch…

Mack Brown was the most pointed….

 "the NCAA has failed Tez and his family and I’ve lost all faith in its ability to lead and govern our sport. They’ve messed so many things up as it relates to college football, and now their failures have negatively impacted the life of one of our own.

SHAME ON YOU, NCAA….."

Now the NCAA released a statement, too: 

"The NCAA is aware of violent – and possibly criminal – threats recently directed at committee members involved in regulatory decisions. The national office is coordinating with law enforcement and will continue to do whatever possible to support the volunteers who serve on these committees.

The DI Board is troubled by the public remarks made last week by some of the University of North Carolina leadership. Those comments directly contradict what we and our fellow Division I members and coaches called for vociferously – including UNC's own football coach. We are a membership organization, and rather than pursue a public relations campaign that can contribute to a charged environment for our peers who volunteer on committees, we encourage members to use established and agreed upon procedures to voice concerns and propose and adopt rule or policy changes if they are dissatisfied." 

Did the NCAA go a little too far?  

Here’s something else that was driving Adam nuts yesterday….

The end of the UNC-App State series and Mack Brown’s comments about how great they are – were – for football in North Carolina, but that those games are going away because…..no upside…???

What's the real reason Mack, scared to lose - so don’t play?
