This is a completely serious question. During the recent college football season, a few star college football players decided to skip playing in bowl games to protect their draft status. Certainly a devastating injury in your final college game could severely hurt those players that have solidifed their draft status. While other players still needing […]

Your “And Then, Depression Set In” Miami Open Thread

Your “I’m Too Apathetic to Think Up a Cute Title” Syracuse Open Thread
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 “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 “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 […]
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 […]
A Defensive Breakdown: Part III
This post is the third and final in a series breaking down the defensive deficiencies of State’s men’s basketball team. Check out parts one and two if you missed them. Just as a quick note about Saturday night’s game before I get started. Coach Gottfried made the comment after the game that “we took a […]
Let the Hate Flow – U*NC Open Thread
I spent all day yesterday, and part of the day before, cooking. Then my extended family invaded the house, ate all my food, and left the house a complete and total shambles. But before they all left, one of my nephews, who was brought to MY house wearing a Carolina shirt, was pulled aside and […]
