According to PJ ‘Hairstone’, he chose UNC over Duke because Duke continually spelled his name wrong. I am sure the fact that Duke already has the number one shooting guard in the 2011 class had nothing to do with TJ’s decision. Call me crazy but I am pretty sure if K really wanted this kid […]
Big Four Rivals
CFN looks at the Pack
CFN takes a look at the Pack. This seems to be a fairly good overview. They point out that Greene is the key to the offense and TOB has always liked a strong running game. I did take exception to this statement Key game: Nov. 5 vs. North Carolina. Coming off what figures to be […]
Is Roy afraid to travel to Wisconsin?
Adam Mertz at Madison.com caught up with former University of Wisconsin Athletic Director Pat Richter for his thoughts on the upcoming ACC/B10 Challenge matchup between Wisconsin/UNC. I’ll let you decide where Richter stands on the game. (emphasis is mine in bold) UW men’s basketball: For Richter, timing of Tar Heels matchup reeks of Roy Former […]
Afternoon humor: The Worst Sports Fans in America(GQ)
Link 8. Duke University Basketball Silver-Spoon Bullies …Here’s what the most reviled fans in college sports don’t understand: When everyone already resents you for being a perennial national champion, brainstorming new ways to make fun of people doesn’t make you clever. It makes you a dick. 5. University of Maryland Basketball Night Terrors The Five […]
ACC Hoops Tidbits (Irving Returns?)
As coaching search season cranks into overdrive, I wanted to take a quick look at some happenings around the league. * I have it on very good authority that Duke’s best player from November/December (given that Nolan Smith is a shoe-in for POY, how f-ing scary is that?), Kyrie Irving, will definitely play in Saturday […]
UNC Fan(graduate?) George Stephens upset with NC State students
There was an interesting letter to the editor in today’s N&O. Some N.C. State University students waved their middle fingers as their greeting to the Carolina basketball players at the Feb. 23 game. I went to Carolina, but I have invested more volunteer time in State than in my own school. What some of its […]
State/Carolina – It Used To Be All That Mattered
Those of you under the age of 30 (or older if you didn’t grow up in North Carolina) may not remember this, but the schoolyard used to segregate itself with this simple binary choice – State or Carolina. That’s it. Things got inevitably more heated during the winter, as UNC fans had a tendency not […]
Local media rushes to defend NC State against national hacks
Many props to long-time ACC sportswriters Al Featherson and Brett Friedlander for their latest columns that will be linked towards the end of this entry Also, our local radio guys like Dave Glenn, Joe Ovies, and Adam Gold have defended us all week as well. Maybe from now on the hosts won’t waste time on […]
218th UNC-NC State Game Preview
NC State and Carolina are meeting this Saturday at 2:00PM in Chapel Hill on ESPN, no doubt, for their 218th basketball game. This will either be more of the same against an opponent that it completely sucks to lose two, or it will be a Les Robinson moment where despite fielding an underwhelming squad, the head […]
Lowe’s NC State: The Best Squad with the Worst Team
I have been making this observation for a while, but just recently decided it was appropriate to publically hash out. For some time I have been convinced that NC State is actually a much better ball club than what it appears to be. As a baseline, I am going to compare NC State to rivals […]
