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 […]

RAWFS Takes Down Lenox Rawlings
Yes, perhaps it is low-hanging fruit, but our friends at RAWFS do a masterful job smacking him around this morning. It’s truly a must read piece. To be fair, there is another Javier Lopez in the sports world – but he’s a situational lefty for the Red Sox. As near as we can tell, he […]
GT 77, NC State 74
Boxscore. Tough loss. Good game.
ESPN Insider: JJ Hickson Is A First Round Lock
J. J. Hickson, F, North Carolina State Hickson is an athletic big man with an NBA frame and the ability to score from 15 feet and in. He’s shown good ability as a shot-blocker and a rebounder and has been shooting with extreme efficiency from the field. Although scouts say he’s raw and could use […]
“Must Win” Redux
We told you unequivocally that Saturday’s home tilt against Miami was a “must win” – and tonight’s matchup with Georgia Tech is no less so. The Pack doesn’t want to hit the road for contests at Florida State and Duke with a 1-3 conference record – especially considering that no way in hell can we […]
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 […]
N&O Blog – ACC “Talent Index”
Very interesting – here’s the link. They have Duke rated higher than UNC, which makes me wonder how useful the index really is (I’d take UNC’s roster over Duke’s any day, and twice on Sunday). Also, if you look at perfoemance relative to talent, Oliver Purnell should get a huge raise – while Sidney Lowe […]
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 […]
Deploy the Panic Button (Clemson 70, NC State 54)
Press it, pound it, or beat the ever-loving piss out of it (my choice). But it’s time, my friends. It’s time. UPDATE: Oh, and Ben gets hurt in garbage time. Like I’ve said before – the motto of every NC State fan should be “It can always get worse – and it usually does.”
