The ACC schools as Simpson characters

This made me laugh. It hits the nail on the head for many of them. Miami and UNC are incredibly accurate as are Duke and Wake Forest.

Preparing for the much ballyhooed UVA defense

We get to play the top “defensive” team in the ACC today. They hold teams to 54.5 points per game. As the image below attests, UVA does not like to let other teams score so prepare yourself for a low scoring, brutal basketball game. In preparation for the game I hear Gottfried hired a wrestling [...]

NC State’s Rather Original Football Recruiting Letter

It didn’t take Drew Wright, the new Director of Player Personnel at NC State, very long to make news. Here’s his form letter to recruits that was posted on Deadspin: Dexter Wright posted his on Instagram, using the more staid and traditional Kentucky and Dartmouth letters as the background. The letter appears to be [...]

Coaches who look like their Mascot

In order to fill the gap until Thursday. Coaches who look like their mascot Coach Cuss The guy who replaced Greenburg

MD/UVA Special Edition LiveBlog

An e-mail from one of my very favorite Wolfpackers got me thinking. How will NC State react to yesterday’s lost sumo wrestling match? I think it all depends on today. A Terp win, and we can sell it as a reprieve, a second chance with a more favorable ACCT seed than if we had won. [...]

Everett Case Wants to be Your Friend!

Yep. The father of big time basketball in the south. The driver behind the wheel that was the creation of the ACC. The man who created the Dixie Classic, popularized cutting down the nets and put NC State basketball on the map…is also a facebook fanatic. And he loves him some StateFansNation so you know [...]

Pack Loses Thursday Off, ACC Loses Last Shred of Credibility

In the most incompetently officiated game I have ever seen, on any level…NC State falls to the 5th seed and 11-7. Anyone who doesn’t want to leave this bullshit joke of a conference needs their head examined.

Battle of the States game day thread

There is a lot at stake today because if we win we get a bye in the ACC tournament but more importantly it would mar my game day thread record (yes it is all about me). I see us coming out focused and ready to play. I think/hope they are in “tournament mode” in which [...]

Hype, poll-skewing, and under-appreciation

I’ve been a little puzzled this year by what I perceive as an undeserved negative perception of this year’s basketball team, and I’m wondering if I’m the only one? This notion was triggered over time as I watched the team’s ranking in the human polls plummet during Lo’s absence, all while the RPI stayed relatively [...]

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 [...]
