Simple Men Looking for Candidate of Change!

With the biggest sporting event NC State hosts all year upon us (sorry TOB, it’s still the ACC), I’d like to maximize the volume of on-lookers by making an announcement now. Imagine some random guy passing out leaflets to pedestrians in Times Square (UNX @ State in RBC arena) versus the opportunity I had last week (State @ BC in a vaulted ceiling library) and you can see the motivation.

What I propose today is not meant to be serious, but DO NOT mistaken it for just some joke! It is what everything has become when one is an opinionated Wolfpack fan, a paradox.

Let me also add that I consider myself firmly planted in the grassroots movement of the (L)unatic (F)ringe (P)arty, but deep down inside, we all are Wolfpack. So with out further ado I declare this morning of February 20, 2008 the launching point of the LFP for Bobby Knight as NCSU AD.

    I asked one of my wife’s clients, a big UNX fan, why he had a book with a picture of a URINAL on his coffee table.
    “Urinal?”
    I pointed to the book with the Old Well on the cover and said, “Yeah, Urinal. I’ve pissed in it several times, myself.”
    Maybe it was because it was at a Christma party at his house, but neither he nor my wife thought it was as funny as I did.

    “Getting rid of Fowler would be like putting lip stick on a turd.”

    At least get your saying correct.
    It is putting lipstick on a pig or polishing a turd. [rollingeyes]

    Grey, it used to be a rite of passage to do that.

    There’s an old rumor that there are dead bodies from the medical school in the 19th century down there.

    Between the two things, and where it is, I’d sooner drink a can of motor oil to quench my thirst.

    Hansborough probably busted his nose again and bled on the well!

    Rick,
    in the interest of conserving band width, I combine the two. And the statement still stands. You can polish a turd all you want. It’s still a turd.
    I have to wonder if Purcell turned the job done. Wouldn’t surprise me.
    This goes way back. Think about it. UNX had Kenan Stadium, NCState College had Riddick Stadium. The ADs a NC A&M have been flunkies for a long time. Willis Casey reminded me of my father: if you can’t pay cash, go without.

    “I am sure Redfred will join me as well. In spite of his foul mouth and quick temper,…”

    WHO??? ME??? I don’t have a bad temper.

    I’m pretty sure vt is kidding about BK as the AD, and I don’t think it would be such a great idea myself. Him coaching, and directly teaching kids how to play the game he know so well, and GRADUATING them in the meantime, is totally different story though. BUT, with that said, it would be really nice to have someone who is ALL ABOUT athletics and especially the student/athletes, and less worried about the BS politics of the job.
