This was just too awesome not to memorialize here.

Pack Plays Well For an ENTIRE HALF! (Duke 92, NC State 72)
And naturally, we end the game down twenty and in complete surrender mode on defense. Have some pride to wear the uniform, and at least hit somebody if you don’t want to get into defensive or rebounding position. But don’t stand there holding your junk while a guy drives for an uncontested layup. Not that […]
Pack takes on the Green Devils tonight
It’s a game no one expects the Pack to win, at Cameron Indoor Stadium against the No. 3 team in the nation, the Duke Green1 Devils. The facts of the matter are, however, that it’s a rivalry game and it’s the ACC, so all bets are off. To win, the Pack will need superb PG […]
Making Sense of the ACC
ESPN.com’s expanded ACC standings. I probably should have added a question mark to the title, because it’s a difficult task. One thing is abundantly clear – Duke and UNC are significantly better than everyone else. I expect them both to be no worse than #2 seeds in the NCAAT. Damn it. After that, it’s less […]
Wolfpack Battles to Key Road Win! NC State 69 FSU 66
We closed the previous entry to open up a new one for the second half. NC State led 36-31 at halftime based solely on a 17-0 run to end the first half. At halftime I wrote, ‘How crazy is it to say that NC State looked HORRIBLE except for that 17-0 run.’ I know that […]
Anyone Want to Discuss Florida State? (Updated 3pm)
As you might have gleaned from my comments in the GT post-game thread, I don’t really have the stomach for it. We are sending the kids to grandma’s house in order to attend tonight’s Ween concert in Durham. Thus, I may not be awake that far in advance of tomorrow’s 1:30 tip-off. Have any insight […]
NC State 79 Miami 77 (OT); X-Man Gavin Saves The Day
What is it with NC State vs Miami games? Two sports. Two overtimes. Two Wolfpack victories! Before NC State stepped on the court tonight the Wolfpack’s triumvirate of early season Big East victims were generating some major progress for our future NCAA Tournament resume as Villanova won at Syracuse, Seton Hall defeated Louisville and Cincinnati […]
Miami = Must Win…Period
It doesn’t get any more simple than tonight — NC State hosts Miami in an absolute MUST WIN early season Atlantic Coast Conference match-up. Period. The Wolfpack needs to win an ACC game. Now, tonight. The Pack, picked in the preseason to finish third in the ACC, was embarrassed at North Carolina last week and […]
Can One Quit If They Never Started? (The ‘Coming to Jesus’ Entry)
Pack Pride’s morning webrun this morning contains that reads “Webrun: Pack Players have Quit” The highlighted quote of the entry originates from 99.9’s Dan Mason’s tell-it-like-it-is blog entry: I never thought I’d be writing this. I figured there was no way Sidney Lowe would allow his team to go to Clemson and put up a […]
State @ Clemson – “He Shoots from the Paw”
We will have more on the blog later today…but we wanted to link this video for everyone to see and realize (1) the value of having a sharp shooter in your program and (2) the importance for Courtney Fells (or Marques Johnson) to be able to use their athleticism and height on defense tonight. Clemson […]
