We (basketball) aren’t the doormat that is now Wolfpack football
That’s a fair comparison? Our basketball team has won 2 national championships, our football team has hardly seen the top 25. Our basketball team plays in a league of national champions, our football team plays in a league of mostly also-rans. Our basketball coach inherited a team of fairly good, if not very good, players. Our football coach inherited a team of average players at best.
I think we are exceeding expectations. Who would have thought we would have given the Noles the game we gave them or L’ville? Anybody that knew anything about BC lost his mind thinking we were equal in talent. They are ranked #11 on defense. They did beat USC.
However, he can’t continue to be winless in the ACC. Cut it how you want, say what you want and make every excuse possible….bottom line it will not fly for long.
Is anyone saying it will last for long? Is being one of the Power-5 teams with the least talent is an excuse? Perhaps the Pack coulda, shoulda, woulda beat Wake. That’s one out of 8. If we had beaten Wake, would that have made one modicum of difference as far as our team development is concerned?
What I don’t understand is the continuous harping on the conference W/L record. Oh I get acknowledging it. I get being disappointed but I don’t get the significance of it. Do we forfeit scholarships? Do we get fined?
Even high school boys are smarter than most of us who are making the same comments week after week about it. Ole Loser Doeren has signed the #1 rated defensive player in the state his 2 years here. More top ranked players are seriously considering NC State than ever before. From what I heard yesterday we signed some outstanding freshmen last year. So I say those high school players see something we can’t or don’t want to see.
The 0’fer will end, probably sooner than later. In the meantime as Richard Pryor told Bill Cosby, “Have a Coke and a smile and shut the f*ck up.” (when Cos’ was complaining about raw language.) The same complaints about the same sh*t, gets old.
