wral.com — Wolfpack must prevent Pirates from attacking paint
Well… we might be in deep dodo… and then if our MAD BIGS show up for the first time in a month, we might be okay…
As far as “help defense” on big guards goes, I ain’t going there….
But as pointed out by Y7 on the link…
“We run more than they do,” Yurtseven said. “If we keep running our tempo, they’ll be worn down toward the end and we’ll be the ones standing.”
OK!… we’ve seen that movie more than once… outrebouded, no help defense, PACK wins in the last 5 minutes of the game when the opponents’ legs get soft…
I’ll take that tomorrow!
GO PACK!POP!!!
#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!WTF you talkin’ ’bout?

#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!BotB we got all 5? of the 1-2? forecast yesterday. Some melting so I’ll get out today to my lunch meeting in Burlington.
T57…

Hope you had a good day in the former “Sock Capital of the World”…

Mr. Dog…
I know you know what you’re doing, but if you don’t mind, may I suggest for the benefit of others…
Think ahead…
TWO eggplants is all you’ll need…
Those two should produce 20 or 30 nice ones depending on the season, if you don’t get pissed off at ’em and pull ’em up mid July… and you’ll be giving half of those away…Damn things will get 6 foot tall and 3 foot wide if you push ’em…
N for the first 30 days — after that liquid “K” once a month for as long as you want to or September 1st…And you’d better plan to stake the hell out of ’em…
Cages don’t work worth a damn…GO PACK!
#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!I’ll bring you some…
Headed to the Triangle next week, I hope !!!
I really need to get out from in front of this screen and ride around for a couple days…GO PACK!
#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!Thanks Mr. Bear…
OldFarmerRule#3 — “If you want to know how to do something right, ask a man who does that job every day.”
Now my 6′ x 30′ bed is running East to West… but I’ve got ‘sunlight’ issues (welcome to urban farming!) with big trees close on the South Side.. so I’m thinking I’ll do ‘real round mounds’ instead of mixed rows and not plant something tall in every other mound to get more sunlight between the round mounds… should be able to get 16-17 round mounds about 2.5ft apart…
And I’m thinking that Orka can take the place of some of the corn, but I ain’t planting beans where I plant orka… I’ll never find the okra…
—————–Speaking of “Pole Beans”…
I’ve planted Asian Long Beans for three seasons… at fullsize, they’re dark green, the diameter of a #2 pencil and 16-20 inches long… perfect for stir frying and you can tie ’em in sailor knots for some “wow factor” on the plate…
And they’ll stand all ‘heat’ the summer puts on ’em…
You’ll have to learn how to pick ’em — one day makes all the difference… if you can see the seed forming, you’re one day too late for stir frying… Now if they seed, you can still boil ’em with some fatback and there good as blue lakes… doesn’t take as long ’cause they’re not fat and tough…
4-5 seeds in 4- 15 gallon pots on a trellis fed two families from mid-May to mid-October last year…
You’ll only need to pick 12-16 ‘beans’ for a dinner for two… takes 5 minutes and no bending over or stringing…
Once they’ve been harvested a couple times, you’ll want to put some liquid ‘K’ on ’em when you see the blooming slows down — about once a month is what I do…
In the fall, let a half a dozen dry out of the vines and you’ll have enough seed to plant the next year for you and a few friends… just save ’em in the hull in a brown paper bag…
Give ’em a try…
GO PACK!
#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!Well… I’m not 100% sure I agree with GC and Rick’s last comments…
I enjoy NCState sports “on the field” and “on the court” more now than at any time since I graduated from State in ’76…
You guys have a lot to do with that… Thanks!And once the game starts… the competitive instincts of the athletes and the rivalry with the opponent pushes most all the Political and Money issues out of the way until the post game show is over most all the time… Remember, the guys playing don’t hear the dumba$$ TV announcers random BS…
Which is the big reason why I mute the sound on the TV and listen to games on the radio…
I do agree that one becomes somewhat numb to the “off the field” and “off the court” stuff…
People have used MONEY and Politics to corrupt things ever since MONEY was invented… so that ain’t nothing new…GO PACK!
#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!my two big raised beds are of the indian mound variety, the three sisters with a few more thrown in, all compatible veggies.
Yogi…
I know the ‘three sisters’ are squash, corn and beans…
A couple of questions…
Are you calling the corn — the white stuff ?
What else have you got mixed in with the three sisters?
Winter squash, summer squash or both?
All that let’s call this “the Spring Package”, but planted soon, I’m thinking it’s all done by mid-July, except maybe the pole beans…
Have you ever replanted the mounds for fall harvesting and if so, what combination of veggies did you use?
Thanks!
GO PACK!
#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!PacOfMac… Thanks…
So here’s one story that fits the Bad Teddy scenario…
Ok… so I’m sitting in District Court one day 32 yrs ago… a simple traffic ticket that I refused to pay off…
The AsstDA, at the time, was in my Sunday School Class at church…
He walks in with at least a hundred manila folders under his arm — the morning’s caseload to be processed in 3 1/2 hours…The next Sunday, we’re talking about Court that day and I asked him “How do you do that? You didn’t spend all night reading for a hundred cases…”
His response was…”90-plus%% of the people in front of me are guilty of ‘something similar’. Doesn’t matter if they’re guilty in this case or not, ‘this case’ is what we have ‘on’ them. So I just bulldoze it and get the conviction…” ***
Right or Wrong, as you see it… That works, this time, with Teddy, too…
And in Teddy’s case… it’s crystal clear from where I sit….. that the punishment does not fit the specific charge, but that the punishment fits all the charges, prosecuted or not…
And if other folks are smiling with us, I’d say… The more the merrier… Perhaps the better question is…
“Whether or not, we’ll ever see Teddy on the court again in stripes in the ACC or at the Dance?”
I got a dollar that says “Hell NO!”…
*** I left a whole helluva lot out of this story so as not to blur my main point and to protect the ‘innocent’…
POP!!!
#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!Talk about a BULL in a China Shop…
But then everybody, including Bulls, at a certain age, need a place to rest and to do what they enjoy….Since we’ll be focusing on upgrading our OOC schedule the next couple of season, little chance of a game with the Matadors any time soon…
POP!!!
#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!Amazing… why play the games?
Just run virtual reality algorithms…
That way nobody gets hurt….GO PACK!
#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!Mr. Stick…. you didn’t need the “7”, just the per-emergent, but it ain’t gonna ‘hurt’ anything…
I’m breaking some ‘new ground’… any of ya’ll got any good experiences with Dollar Weed?
GO PACK!
#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!^Ain’t no need to do that if you have the time, the energy and want to enjoy the success of getting it right and save some bucks…
If Stick at age 70 and with a bad back can do it right… anybody can…
GO PACK!
#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!Ok…
Old Farmer Rule#1 — Too much of anything is just as potentially harmful as too little of anything…
One of the biggest trends I seen in two years of looking at soil tests from all over, especially on yards, is over-liming and under managing everything else…
Ask Mr. Stick ’bout his red clay yard down in Rock Hill…
GO PACK!
#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!F68 – no problem… we’ll want to see how much difference that Lime made in raising the pH — 4.0 not the best number…
I had one red clay field on the turf farm that measured 4.5 that actually made decent turftype fescue– took 3 tons of lime and two years to get close to 6.0, but I cut my fertilizer bill in half and made the same or better quality turf…
——————-
Food plots, especially for Deer, is “agriculture” these days…I know a couple ‘good old boys’ who make damn good money tending hunting tracks for the rich and famous… that is, when they’re not in their grow houses tending $cash_crops…
And the ‘organic’ crowd is big into it too…
Non-GMO – Organic Fed Game Animals!!!Now somebody smarter than me will have to ‘plain the sense in that…
Let’s say I own 200-300 acres of good hunting land with little open land…
Ya’ll know Deer roam 5 miles or more…I can do everything by the non-GMO, organic book… but that Buck I might wanna shoot next winter is gonna spend the summer in my neighbors fields eating GMO – Roundup Ready – beans… plus I ain’t spending the money to put deer fence around 200-300 acres…
Plus that’s alot of the same crowd that doesn’t want anybody to shoot Bambi…
Just feed Bambi right… and take pictures…smh at that…
—————————–
I use a private Lab for my soil testing — faster turnaround, more numbers, around $20 per sample…
Then I run their number thru my software…GO PACK!
#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!Should strength of your opponent of games played in November outweigh a teams’ record vs top 25?
Big Money rules the NCAA…
Clearly… the current weighing on before Christmas games, otherwise known as “OOC” guarantees the TV guys sufficient early season quality games to keep the eyeballs and the ad dollars rolling…
Don’t look for that to change until after the NCAA folds its tents..
No doubt in my mind… next season… Keatts will beef up the early season games by dropping a couple of Q4s and replacing them with a Q2, maybe and a couple Q3s…
But then if we’d won 2 of the conference games, we coulda / shoulda won… we wouldn’t be talking ’bout OOC, either…
GO PACK!
#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!Anyway, it doesn’t sound like you are working on raw land
F68…
I’m probably too old to be farming big tracks now…
But I have in the past…
There was Granddaddy’s and Uncle Robert’s ‘bacca farms in my youth…
Then later on I owned and operated a 650 acre turfgrass farm up in Virginia for a few years…
More recently, I ran a 7 acre organic vegatable farm outside of ILM for a couple of seasons…My Soil Evaluation “Farmer” Application is built for guys like you and scales from 1 to 100s of acres…
Of course, I be happy to look at your Clemson tests…
send me an email to bill at /soilfertilitymanagement.com …
GO PACK!
#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!Tractor… I’d like to see a nice Spring Snow, especially on some rolling land… after 10yrs, it’s still too damn flat down here to enjoy the countryside…
I said ‘Spring was returning this weekend…”
Some folks think farmers take off all winter…
The ‘toughest’ job I ever worked on — on the farm — was replacing the worn out bearings, scrapers and 16″ discs on a old rusty Lilliston 15ft disc harrow… in February, with snow on the ground…
GO PACK!
