There’s good mojo associated with that thread title, so we will have to stick with it, despite the God-awful syntax. The winner will get a steamrolling (and hopefully overconfident) UNC squad tomorrow at 1:00 p.m. Believe it or not, Jeff is stuck at a wedding and is limited to e-mail. He had a couple of […]

Flashback – Is the Roanoke Times Right?
Let’s hope their article after the Pack’s 81-56 win in Raleigh proves to be accurate foreshadowing. Beyond the reporter’s glum thoughts, you have these choice player quotes: – A.D.

Official “Hell, Yes!” Thread (NC State 79, UVA 71)
Words can’t describe the elation. It was almost like the complete inverse of the Wisconsin Sweet Sixteen collapse. The team is confident, and played that way. And NC State is two wins away from its first ACCT title in 20 years. Here’s what I said Thursday morning: My gut says that the Pack upsets UVA […]
ACCT Friday – Evening Session Thread
I am far too anxious to give in-depth, useful analysis. Simply put, we have to stop either Singletary or Reynolds, or hope that one of them is cold.

Media naysayers (and Lee Fowler): Come and get some more crow!
For every last one of you who said it — and you jackasses know who you are, and so do we — NC State fans are delusional if they think they can expect to compete against Duke with Coach K and UNC with Roy Williams! What coach is going to want to go there?

Gut Check – Previewing the ACCT
I am no great shakes as a statistical analyst – I leave that to the esteemed VaWolf. On the cusp of tourney play, I wanted to throw out my gut calls for discussion. 1) North Carolina Realistic Chance to Win? Absolutely. At this point, they have to be the odds-on favorite. They are clearly the […]
