Your “Carolina Sucks” Game Thread (updated….sort of)

“Carolina Sucks”

Even that’s not good enough for them.

I wrote this post yesterday, then they got skeert of the weather.  I’ve been out to the ABC store twice but they couldn’t play a basketball game.

Yes, we got about six inches in Northern Orange County.  But still……

Oh well…this is the extent of my post-postponement edits.

Have fun.

(also….Kimberly Perry is very attractive….just saying)

Some of you might not know me or my inclinations.

Let me clear up one thing at least…..I hate the University* of North Carolina.

I’ve always hated them.  Like literally, from the time I knew enough to know what the terms NC State, U*NC, Duke, Wake, Clemson, etc, etc….represented….?  I was taught to hate Carolina.

I was taught very well.  I was taught very thoroughly.  And my hate has never faltered.

But now, given recent meanderings with the NCAA….yes, now I despise them.

If I owned enough explosives….

Seriously, to whom it may concern at Homeland Security….I don’t own ANY explosives.  As far as you know.

But yes, I’d bury Chapel Hill in rubble if I could get away with it.

You might have noticed if you had read this a couple months ago…..

I’m not going to go to the trouble of repeating myself now, they’re not worth it.

I made both of those graphics above with my own two little hands….as well as a few others.  Seriously…..me and photoshop.  Been a few years now and I’ve seen them bounce around the internet a bit here and there.  And I’m fine with that.  I like spreading the hate when it come to U*NC.

 Let The Hate Simmer For Now

Only two games into the ACC slate, it’s been an up and down yr already for the Pack (12-3, 1-1 ACC).  Last weekend, a trip to South Beach no go so well.  Then, VT shows up in Raleigh fresh off an upset of Duke…..and we pants them.   Up and down.

It will continue to go this way for at least a while if not all year.  Home court is king.

Which is what worries me about tonight…..

I would love to be wrong about the following statements and I hope to be proven wrong and eat a buttload of crow (about the first two at least):

We will not win tonight.

We could easily get embarrassed tonight.

But…..

Tonight’s experience will make us a better team come March.

OK I Don’t mean to be Debbie Downer…but….

Seriously folks, do not get upset about this game tonight.  We’re going into hostile territory.  We have less talent and less cohesion.  I like that word.

Say it with me….C-O-H-E-S-I-O-N.

We might have cohesion before the season is over.  We looked cohesive against VT.   But that was VT.  That was at home.

I repeat folks…..do not get upset about this game tonight.

Hey Remember This?

This Guy is Still a Thing

Triple double vs VT.  Just saying.

Home Court

It’s a big deal….seriously.

CartmanSeriously

Carolina comes in tonight with an identical Conference record as the Pack at 1-1.  13-3 overall.  They fell in Atlanta to GT, then eeked one out in OT at Clemson.  Poor Clemson.

Both of those were on the road for them though.

Could we catch them on an off night at home?  Sure….it’s possible.  Will we?

Their other two losses are to Kentucky (neutral, Las Vegas) and at Indiana.

Don’t get upset about this game tonight, folks.

Look it up.

We’ll get ’em then.

This Story About Torin Dorn’s Family….

….is kinda cool

Dorn family torn over NC State, UNC rivalry (NewsObseerver.com)

Dorn, despite the occasional good-natured ribbing from N.C. State teammate Chris Corchiani, is “all Wolfpack now,” he said.

Still, there will be conflicting emotions for his younger brother, Myles, who made his first college start at safety in UNC’s Sun Bowl loss to Stanford. Technically, it will be the first time Myles has ever wanted to see UNC lose.

“I hadn’t thought about it that way but that’s right,” Myles said. “I still won’t say I want State to win but I always want my brother to win so I understand what that means.”

    and yes this is a TEAM game, not a one man show…
    If you GOTT the answer to my BB Trivia question, there’s the proof!

    Best I can figure that would be…

    Monte in February, 1973

    In all fairness, Monte and his crew had already defeated the same Holes in the Big Four Tournament in Greensboro in December of 1972.

    This one is not on the coach. He can’t run the offense. Smith can and should. Disagree Troll, Smith came out forcing it. It became contagious, specially after the team saw Smith take a seat on the bench. Call it confidence or being cocky, Smith tried to be the game instead of bring the game. It will be a team loss.

    Dorn is still putting in some effort…
    DS will be fine in time but I assume the level of NBA talent will surpass the UNC crowd.

    Disagree. We’ve apparently had no preparation against a pressure defense.

    I’m really glad I was out shopping at Trader Joe’s and missed the start of the game. Missed the entire first half, had a buddy clue me in on the score, and resolved to not watch the second. Glad I picked up some port and some porter.

    I really wish I could be as optimistic as some of you, but I’m a realist. But can one of you tell me what to blame this on?

    Anyone still feel like this is a good thing for the team to endure?

    You know – if this were the first subpar performance, perhaps. This team has lost 3 times. In those 3 games, they beaten pretty handily.

    I see in this game the drawbacks of gott ball on steroids. Poor defensive rotation, poor defensive rebounding, a lack of attention to detail in general – poor caddying.

    Again, if we are a bubble team on selection Sunday with this roster, it’s not really acceptable. I guess our outlook would change long term if we were able to win an ACC tournament, but still…

    That’s your opinion. And it’s wrong.

    one could also note the lack of road games on our OOC schedule (outside the B1G challenge, where we got murdered), followed by getting crushed in our first two road ACC games.

    Hey guys… you’re both right…

    Smith came out ‘jacked’ for his first game in the Dean Dome and met with Uncle Roy’s “CutTheHEADoffTheSnake” gameplan and did start forcing it on offense AND got caught with some fouls on defense…

    Coach watched the whole thing from 20ft away.

    That’s an easy one. They are better than we are. Doesn’t mean we might not beat them next time, but any observer can tell you they are better. We are not as loaded in talent as many of you seem to think. All you have to do is look.

    Guys, like I said in the post…..Don’t get too upset about this game today.
    Yes, this was ugly today. Worse than I expected, if I’m being honest.
    But I did expect us to be all deer in the headlights today (well…last night).

    We’ll get better. As bad as it feels right now, this game will help us down the road.

    If you’re not upset about this game you’re not paying attention. We’re about to lose by 50 points. This isn’t a “growth” game.

    When the team drops a game by 10 , it’s on the team. State is down by 42…. That is on Gott.

    Sorry, but I don’t see Yurtle the turtle as a first round pick, and that’s not just based on today’s debacle.

    The head coach is responsible for the program at this point. CLEARLY. Period, full stop.

    You don’t need to get all micro about “fault.”

    Not surprised by this, tbh. Gott isn’t gonna cut it. The lack of defense, defensive rebounding, movement on offense in the Miami game was really eye-opening. I think I lost all hope of achieving anything during his tenure after that game. Despite all of our “talent”, our guys looked like they’d never seen a roundball before.

    DSJ – 5 star, Fr
    Abu – 4 star, Jr
    Anya – 4 star, Sr
    Henderson – 3 star, Sr (redshirt, I think?)

    I haven’t even gotten to Dorn, Johnson, Kapita, and Yurtseven. Sure, freshmen, guys who never played in the ACC before, yada yada. But so what? Doesn’t Cal do this every year? Doesn’t Coach K? Izzo? I’m not saying Gott wasn’t the right man at the time, but it was obvious after 2012, that something was amiss.

    Let’s face it, we have endured 20+ yrs as the abused step child and its not over!
    Definitely a problem at NCSU and it goes way beyond the arrs kicking today!!

    Some of y’all are absolutely delusional. This is clearly on Gott. Do not blame the players or their talent. That’s a copout, and a weak one at that. Hell, Brad Stevens could take this team to the Sweet 16 easy.

    ^Hahaha that’s my point. If you think we have anywhere near the talent of any of those teams, you are dreaming.
