Apparently, this is the round where Miami takes a giant dump at midcourt. Sheesh.

    Yup, the credit union looks to be running out of gas rather early. Hope it’s just temporary.

    I’m still hoping for that credit union/scary wheat final.

    Yeah, I would hate for all eggs to be in the Scary Wheat basket. But looking that way.

    OK, time for a nap now.

  6. Wufpacker 03/29/2013 at 11:33 PM #

    Nap? Kinda late for napping back there isn’t it? Go big or go home.

    Of course it’s only 8:30 here. When the games are over it’ll still be early enough for me to go out and get in trouble.

    Cowdog suggested an itinerary for me earlier today at which I scoffed, but am now considering it.

    Where are you Wuf? Somewhere in Cali, I surmise.

    The beautiful and lush (ahem) desert southwest.

    Freaking Arizona, man.

    That’s OK though, Moses will soon be leading me out of the desert and back to the promised land.

    Joakim Noah sitting courtside for UF/FGCU and looking hipster douchebag chic, as per usual.

    He’s so lame. Speaking of lame, DMCpack4 just said that “fans” are sending mean tweets to Rodney regarding the transfer rumors. Some people should not be allowed to tell everyone how they feel via the interwebz. Why on Earth would you say mean things to someone in that situation? This fan base has too many self-fulfilling gluttons for punishment.

    ^ I wish I could say that surprises me. I use twitter to keep up with breaking stories etc. when they’re happening, but it’s no doubt just one more way for idiots to display their wares if they take a notion.

    It’s also a great way to keep up with Pack Baseball if I’m not at the desktop…NC State Baseball ‏@NCStateBaseball tweets play by play of every game.

    Also on twitter this evening….

    Pack Pride ‏@PackPride – RT @Chip_Patterson Spotted: NCSU coach Mark Gottfried and JUCO prospect Desmond Lee (@DezLee5) at Tobacco Road watching Sweet 16 games.

    Gotta love that!

    Nice! Things will work out!?!?

  13. Wufpacker 03/30/2013 at 1:22 AM #

    One way or another hopefully. Lee would definitely be a nice plug in if RP flies the coop. He’s supposed to visit Creighton next week and has offers from multiple high major programs. Hope we get him.

    …“fans” are sending mean tweets to Rodney regarding the transfer rumors

    That’s pathetic.

    Duke vs. Michigan State = Great Basketball

    “That’s pathetic.” > beyond words pathetic.

    Everyone’s got them, but there really are some DMFs who like the Pack. Can’t believe I feel compelled to comment on this, but I do.

    Someone forgot to tell Alford about the high tax rates in CA!!!! What is he stupid???

  18. packalum44 03/30/2013 at 1:57 PM #

    Basketball players only like twitter form the positive vibes but when someone is negative it hurts their lil’ feelings….ahhh. Its a two way street. No one forces you to have twitter, much less a public twitter account.

    Oh and btw, guess who the overwhelmingly majority of mean hurt my feeling tweets are sent by…..KIDS!!

  19. TheCOWDOG 03/30/2013 at 4:29 PM #

    44…? Do you realize that all things considered, the COL in CA just isn’t that wide a bridge from living in the Triangle.

    Not in my book, anyway.

    START AN ELITE-8 THREAD!

    I swear. Hope Buzz and Bo have the Wisco and NY Army Reserves on hand.

    The zebs are asking for another Gettysburg, here.

    Marquette is not the least bit intimidating. No?

  23. TheCOWDOG 03/30/2013 at 5:22 PM #

    Cuse boys would rather hunt water buffalo with a peashooter than go to the hole on the Warriors.

  24. MrPlywood 03/30/2013 at 5:26 PM #

    End of 1st quarter, ‘Cuse up 24-18. The Orange on pace for a 96 point game. Wait… what?

  25. TheCOWDOG 03/30/2013 at 5:35 PM #

    Me and you, Ply. Now this is ugly ball. But Marquette is playing night club bouncer basketball as I’ve rarely seen.

    Oh..got some new takes on the staircase shade,btw
