5-11 in conference
Takers?
McCallum
I’ll take it. Name your price.
For one thing, we play 18 fixtures, do we not??
5-13, 6-12, 7-11…any of those should be a fireable offense.
I imagine that sight uses a rolling metric – so it’s probably using all of our data – which is only fair.
Our kenpom stinks because we have had lots of close wins (moreso in the first few weeks of the season) and when we’ve lost it hasnt been pretty. In addition, our defensive stats are mediocre, so they drag us down.
A few more nights like the last one and we will be fine. I don’t like to harp on missing players because that happens and can happen at any time. We have good depth, but there are a couple of players that if we lost we would definitely miss the tourney.
Looking forward to UNC – Ch game. Actually, I shouldn’t. I will blow a gasket and think and possibly say things that aren’t good. Put another way, if every time I drank a few beers I reacted like I do to the site of those Heels, I would have either had to stop drinking, been put in jail, or died of a heart attack.
Ok I’m in. I will even give you a chance to adjust the record since you don’t have a clue of how many conference games the Pack will play. Give me a corrected guess and I will gladly put $50 if it somewhat correlates to the original proclamation.
I also want something in return. I don’t want your $$. Really don’t need it. If I win you have to proclaim that your knowledge on NCSU sports is non existent. That you will stop making bombastic statements just to troll people. You will not post on anything sports related unless it’s insightful and has some validity. None of these comments where you let us know what you are about to drink or eat for dinner. Ok, no posting for two weeks. That’s the only way to be sure there are no grey areas. The last two sentences is the agreement. This will be acknowledged by you by starting a thread that acknowledges the above. This will begin just after the record surpasses what you predicted. The thread will state “I know nothing and most people don’t care what I do”.
If you win I will start a thread that says you are all knowing and I paid you $50 bucks for your advanced knowledge.
Are you in?
In risking the chance to derail my satire as critique of the endless stupidity found in west Raleigh I’m not sure if I can take your bet.

Part of the point in calling for 5-11 was to outline the general aparty toward all things State. Do it right, field winners and people notice. Play the endless circle jerk known as the athletic department at State and even graduates of the school don’t know(and mainly don’t care) how much you play.

1) My knowledge of NC State is rather non existent. I know they field a bunch of losers, endlessly harass the students, the alumni and the limited fan base. I know they like to be cheap. Cheap in essence is not bad but State’s efforts at cheap almost always equate to bad results.
2) I love trolling people. There is a beauty to the reaction that is better than the best of times at the Carolina Inn with blondes from Myers Park who’ve got daddy’s money to spend and all weekend to do it(plural sense applied). And I’m not speaking to the point of angering people but rather getting their thoughts, their views, their beliefs while foregoing the contemporary retort of “I’m offended”.
By gosh I’ve been booted off more message boards for trolling than you’ve got hairs on your head. In fact I’ve been tossed off Pack Pride so long (around 14 years by my count) and I burned them so deep that my old account is still banned which probably has more to do with their lazy/forgetfulness than my narcissism.
3) I’m all about some rational empirical data and discussion but at some point it becomes clear that people in high (and low) places have no damn idea what they are doing.
Case in point, we all recognize how brilliant Herb Sendek was as 1) a dresser, 2) a promoter of hair gel, 3) finding odd names in the Moore County phone directory and 4) a coach.
All that said, when he started 6 players on the floor AFTER A DAMN TIME OUT there is no need for “insight and validity”. It was damn stupid, period.
4) I believe I have excellent eating and drinking habits.
I eat what I like but am typically spartan in my approach to daily consumption. Lots of coffee, a dip of tobacco (bachelors delight) from time to time, high protein and lots and lots of fiber. I do enjoy cooking, simple basic culinary models with bursts of complexity from time to time. I enjoy a good restaurant, price is rarely an object so long as the flavor and atmosphere are in play. I HATE CHAIN RESTURANTS outside of unabashed Christian businesses who are hypocritical cheapskates in all but name.
Alcohol has its place which is generally in my right hand.
Love dark chocolate, do not like (Un)Sanitary Fish Market down near Morehead City. That was(is) one overrated dump.
5) I already know that I don’t know very much thus underscoring my Socratic method. I also know that most if not all people could care less what I think, what I eat, how many bowel movements I have per day(4) or that I used to set up at the old Greenburg and Friedman real estate offices off Franklin Street in chapel hill on game day and charge people to park. It was a Saturday, there was no business hours so I figured the owners wouldn’t mind while I 1) made some easy cash, 2) stuck to the heals.
The delightful shock on their faces as they told me they had parked there free for years.
If you win I will start a thread that says you are all knowing and I paid you $50 bucks for your advanced knowledge.
Are you in?
Well they play 18 games since I finally gave a damn to check so in pure NC State fashion I’ll stick with 5-11.
And I only do handshake deals so I ain’t starting no new damnn thread about yes to this and no to that.
McCallum
I figured as much. We shall see how the season plays out. BTW, four bowl movements a day is great for a man of your age. ?
Copenhagen or Skoal? I have gone back and forth but have to say Copenhagen fine cut is the best.
Mac, et al…
I wonder how many guys over the years from the smalltownsandfarms of North Carolina went to NC State, greenasgoosesh#tunshavenvirgins, nativelyintelligent with dirtundertheirfingernails….
learned the discipline of mathematics,
learned the scientific methods,
learned the socratic method,
madetheirgrades, changedtheirmajors
and graduated….some developed reightbraincreativeandcommunication skills, all were analytic at heart….
all who scattered farandwide, foundtheirwork, raisedtheirfamilies, wenttotheirchurches, made somerightturns, madesomewrong turns and livedtheirlives mostly in peace….
most were satisfied with the boxestheybuilt, but others who were moretimesthannot always thinking about and tryingtobuildabetterbox not so much for themselves but for other people… the foundation of either evolving from their years at NCState?
Everything was fine, until they all met Cynicism.
If you don’t know what I’m talking about…

The only time ANY engineering or animal science major heard the term “Socrates” was when they watched Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure*.

*Bill and Ted’s qualify as Keanu Reeves best acting role to date. Hands down he is the WORST actor in Hollywood, Statish.

He has quite a bit of competition. Will Ferrell gets my #1 unwatchable actor spot with Seth Rogen a close second. Adam Sandler, Jim Carrey, and Owen Wilson are all worthy of being included in this discussion. But, this site agrees with you:
http://www.complex.com/pop-culture/2011/02/the-50-worst-actors-in-hollywood-history/keanu-reeves
Ferrell is right up there and Wilson must have performed some vile act or acts to get any work.
Sandler is unbearable, Carey is good when contorting and twisting.
Reeves stands alone but Wilson may be the nearest to him in lacking talent. Sandler, Ferrell and Carrey are skit players so you can understand how they lack depth beyond five minutes.

My great uncle, who was an NC State grad and a tobacco farmer…
had one Bull and few cows…The Bull’s name was Socrates.

His wife was a High School teacher — English and Classics.
They lived into their 80’s.
Neither one ever watched “Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure”.#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!For one thing, we play 18 fixtures, do we not??

In my Gott loving opinion anything less than 10 wins should be a fireable offense with this roster. I love what he’s done for the program, but damn we have a point guard getting triple doubles.
Eye of a needle bill, eye of a needle.
Ain’t many out there, rarer they are by the day yet the except is not the rule.

*The Troll keeps gaining points in my book.
7-Eleven is what we’ll probably get from the Pack this season in the ACC. They’ll likely play as bad tomorrow night as they played good Wednesday night against VT.
But don’t worry about Gottfried. The AD has his back, unconditionally. Hell, if Doeren stays on, Pack basketball will remain the same too, even if they play again on opening night of the ACCT.
The more things change, the more they remain the same.
Ain’t many out there, rarer they are by the day
I don’t disagree…
I do set some blame with our beloved Land Grant University…
the rest is much more complicated.Blest Be The Tie That Binds
#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!We win on the road tomorrow night (assuming Roy doesn’t get intimidated by some snow) you boys will be tooting confetti out of you asses. Let’s play the games first.
UNC is 13 point favorites. That’s ridiculous. Time to put some coin down on triple-double and squad.
