OK, so the trip to Louisville wasn’t quite as fun as the trip to Durham. Meh…..It happens. Why did it happen this time? You saw it, what do you think? Effort, energy missing in NC State’s latest ‘lifeless’ ACC loss (NewsObserver.com) LOUISVILLE, Ky. There’s never a good time to question your team’s effort. It’s not […]
Your “Winning Is Good” @’Ville Open Thread
That was fun. Really, really fun. Like seriously, winning is fun. Let’s do it some more. – Dennis Smith, Jr. Dude is sick. Really sad he’s not gonna be around next year. – Still Work To Be Done Yeah, the Duke win was great and all. But we dug ourselves a pretty big hole leading […]
Your “Big Monday” Duke Open Thread
Yep, Big Monday. ESPN says so. Anyone else think there’s a chance ESPN was expecting two teams with a little more lustre by the time this one rolled around? Last time out, the Pack (13-7, 2-5 ACC) fell at home to Wake, completing a 1 for 3 homestand against 3 of the weaker teams in […]
Your “It’s Not Danny Manning’s Fault But I Still Don’t Like Him” WF Open Thread
Hey, we won one. And even looked mostly good down the stretch at crunch time while salting it away after coming from behind. Still some defensive breakdowns, too many for my liking if I’m being honest. But that’s to be expected by now. Bottom line….good guys win one, 79-74. Now, let’s make it two in […]
Your “Here We Go Again” Pitt Open Thread
What do I mean by “Here we go again”….? Well, now for only the SECOND time during my time at SFN, I have no idea what to write. Just….wow. Yes….”Facepalm Level” has been unlocked. Next stop…..Bag on Head. – I’m not gonna talk much about the GT game. This is a family site and I […]
Your “There’s No Place Like Home” GT Open Thread
OK, so that wasn’t the best road trip ever. To say the least. For the first time in my handful of years posting, and then later writing, amongst you fine group of folks on this’n here blog….for the first time I am sitting here at a loss as to what to write. So this one […]
Your “Bounceback Road Win…Hopefully” BC Game Thread
Wow. That was ugly, huh? I mean, I expected us to look overmatched in Chapel Hill. But just….WOW. The Pack (12-4, 1-2 ACC) kinda took it on the chin this past weekend. Of course, with the game delay due to the winter storm, one of the themes during the game was “NC State wanted to […]
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 […]
Your “Holy Crap I Forgot About This Game” Game Thread
Oh Crap. Sorry Dudes. Lots going on lately. Yesterday, I knew this game was today. Today, however….I blanked. Sorry. So this is gonna be short and sweet. Well, short at least…. – Last time out the young Pack (11-3, 0-1 ACC) got spanked pretty good in South Beach. Tonight, they return home to face a […]
ACC Basketball Opener – On the Road at daU
Welp folks, the preliminaries are finished. It’s time for the main event. The Pack got thru a weak OOC schedule relatively unscathed, managing to only stub its toe once. Well, twice if you consider how badly Creighton beat our asses….but the loss to Creighton itself isn’t shameful. But Illinois? Even on the road. We shoulda […]
