Has this season been a disappointment?

This basketball season has had a lot of peaks and valleys. We started out the year with a preseason top ten ranking, were predicted to win the ACC and Leslie was the leading candidate for ACC player of the year. All of this hype was generated by the Pack’s amazing Sweet Sixteen run along with [...]

The REVENGE game thread

This is not going to be close. Not even remotely. Not even the refs can stop this beat down. I know, I know, the “don’t jinx us” crowd (cough BJD cough) is furious with me but I am that confident about this game. I have been saying we will finish 11-7 but I may be [...]

BC 2/27 game thread

This will hopefully be a boring game. I will be a little late but will join the fun. So I cannot be blamed for anything bad

State UNC game thread

Since I started the game threads we are 3-0. Since I am obviously the reason we keep winning I will keep doing the game thread. Ironically I will not be watching the game or able to join the game thread as my wife committed me to attend her nephew’s daughter’s baptism. Sigh. That means someone [...]

FSU game day thread

Looking to make it three in a row. We are playing FSU tonight at 7. The Pack is favored by 8. I think we finally have a good game and win by 12+. It appears Buckets is coming out of his slump so if we can just get Purvis back to playing well we could [...]

Clemson game thread

Given BJD’s recent history with game threads I think it is a good idea to mix things up. I think we win this one by 13. The first half stays close but we pull away in the second. This starts our run to finish 11-7 in the conference.

Social media blunder

TJ Warren retweeted Thomas DaThey’s tweet about Gottfried. I have no idea what was his motivation. Was he highlighting how childish TDT is acting or was he agreeing with it. Either way he should not have done it and the NCSU administration needs to get in front of this ASAP. I hope this is not [...]

Howell taking charge

WRAL has a good article about Richard Howell. “We’ve got to box him out,” Plumlee said. “Sometimes his best shot is a missed shot because he just goes and gets it and gets closer to the basket. He’s a tough player, plays physical and he’s a high-motor guy inside and around the basket.” I thought [...]

UNC Scandal Cited In Pennsylvania Antitrust Litigation With The NCAA

The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania’s lawsuit against the NCAA’s treatment of Penn State University in the wake of the school’s Jerry Sandusky sex scandal has an extremely interesting local angle: it cites the UNC athletics academic fraud scandal. The litigation claims that the Penn State is being punished for matters outside of the scope and reach [...]

Wolfpack: 2012 Year in Review

As we all know by now, the Mayans were not correct and the world did not end. Since that day has come and past, we can look back on the highlights of the past 366 days (this year was a leap year people). In David Letterman fashion, here is this year’s top 10 list of [...]
