There’s no sugar-coating tonight’s challenge. Vegas has the Pack as a 20+ point underdog, and Roy no doubt has his team’s mind on revenge. But we’ve met the challenge of facing the talented Holes already this season. Hell, we’ve done it this month. There is no long rival game losing streak hanging around our collective […]
Getting Ready for the Goats – Can Lightning Strike Twice? (11:00 Update)
Especially since our shocking win in Raleigh, I have asked some of my more rational Hole fan friends about some of Roy’s curious tendencies. No, nothing about banging farm animals, but his strange strategy. You know, playing Wes Miller and/or Bobby Frasor down the stretch of close games – sometimes ahead of arguably his best […]
NCAA Revokes Moronic Clock Rules
It’s a rare and beautiful thing – a victory for common sense. * Sunday Morning Quarterback: Rules committee comes running back fans, sanity * The Wizard of Odds: Link In place of the nonsense, drama-killing clock rules of 2006, we get a more tailored set of measures that seem eminently reasonable and don’t fundamentally alter […]
NC State vs. Maryland: Pre-Game/In-Game Discussion (Updated 4:45)
Well, it’s time to redeem ourselves after basically crapping ourselves on the court against lowly Miami. It’s as simple as this – we need to win at least one more game as an underdog (assuming we beat Wake at home – we will be favored to do so), or the NIT won’t happen. I’m not […]
Virginia Tech – In Line For #1 ACCT Seed?
I hope some of you got to see an incredible basketball game tonight, as Virginia Tech beat UNC for the second time this season, 81-80 in OT (an incredible, acrobatic Wayne Ellington triple-clutch shot coming about 0.7 seconds too late). This was a huge win for the Hokies, as they now have the clearest path […]
Official Embarrassment Thread
To a man, it appears that the NC State Wolfpack forgot there was a basketball game scheduled for today. Just a hideous effort all around. Yes, the game isn’t over yet, and maybe a miracle finish will make me look silly – but I seriously doubt it. Officially, this is the first truly inexplicable, embarrassing […]
Insane GT Game Thread
That Crittenden shot damn near killed me. Good thing I am only 33 – I would be blogging from the sky if I were much older. Will that turn the tide, or will the Pack withstand yet another Yellow Jacket run? Anyway, this is a great game. Dicuss. 8:16 – Well, this doesn’t look good. […]
Dave Glenn – McCauley 2nd Team All-ACC
Well, at least based on the ACC season to-date. Here’s your link. I have trouble arguing against any of his selections, except that I would probably list VT’s Gordon higher. His first-team, COY, and POY selections are all exactly right. Many of you will likely be agitated about Glenn listing Costner 2nd to Wright for […]
VPI Win: Everyone Contributes (Updated 2/1; 10:30am)
To my thinking, that might be the most special part of our 11 point win in Blacksburg. Here’s my breakdown: – Engin Atsur – Obvious, with clutch 3s, hustle plays, and steady leadership. – Ben McCauley – Pretty much carried the offense in the early going, made some tough rebounds, and put the dagger in […]
Castrated Turkeys Game Thread
I will admit to having a special bit of hate in my heart for the Hokies, ever since that damned Peach Bowl in the late 80s (1987?), when VT faked injuries and took a dive (drawing a phantom pass interference call) to set up the game-winning FG. Followed nicely by their kicker giving our fans […]
