So, 4 teams in a 16 team conference are OUT of the tourney- Pitt, Clemson, State and Boston College. The pundits can complain about Gottfried being fired but in a 16 team league with 12 teams still in a running for a bid (9 locks, 1 pretty solid in VT and 2 with still a chance in GT and Wake) there isn’t really an argument Imo. If 2/3rds of a conference makes a tourney the other 1/3Rd are gonna be on the hot seat.
Who says Pundits GOTT (or have) to be logical. Follow their statements and then try to connect the dots or make sense of them.
Pre-Season polls by the Pundits. NCSU will be #6 in ACC. Obviously correct since the Pundits took and voted in the poll.
Reality. As of LAST weeks’s “Pundit Polls”, the ACC had 7 Teams on the top 25. Assume that all 7 will make it to the Dance. Don’t even talk about the flyers (the other “5”).
SO, if the pundits were correct, NCSU would be around #21 or so. ERGO…
NCSU would have a Top 25 MBB Program….which was a Debby Yow Commitment (and PRESUMABLY) that was also a stated objective for the Coach. DID NOT HAPPEN. What happens IN THE POLLS have Consequences (as a presumably WISE individual….to some….said).
The first 4 years were roller coasters. There was a LOT of dissension in the team. Transfers were happening like political scandals….popping up at the most inoportune times. There was also the first year mutiny of the coaches. There was the epic “divorce” where Bobby Lutz was given custody of our Defense in the settlement and took it and left.
The firing and then botched hiring of an equal (in Defense) was really Coach Gottfried’s last “Trump” card.
I have NO insight that his personal life is still as tawdry as it once was. He sure seemed happy and content with the attractive younger escort at the Reynolds Opening.
He and I both have AFib. Now that can manifest itself many ways. BUT, most of the “Rx” cures for AFib have serious side effects and one of the common ones is slowing DOWN your HR. If Coach was on a rigorous, since his comments indicated that he barely made it through last season, regime of pills, then it would be difficult to coach. BUT….he had a Permanent Fix. He had the surgical ablation….which corrects (or maybe eliminates) the source (or at least most of it). SO, he got “FIXED.
He also showed discipline and lost weight and looked like he was in pretty good physical shape over the summer.
Therefore, the FIXED, Leaner, Meaner and Trimmer Coach was at the top of his game.
Did I mention that he also got that pesky personal distraction known as a D>I>V>O>R>C>E settled. Couple that with his new GF….and that should take care of the personal stress.
Therefore with NO personal stress, more energy, a stable full of talent, a loyal and doting fan base…..what more could he want? How about a WINNING season and a Top 25 Ranking? THAT was not to be.
The chemistry of the team, the lack of discipline (as to the team’s individuals), the lack of a defense…all that happened.
I have been to almost every home game since 2006-7. I can count the ones I missed on one hand and the reason. ONE was when I had my first AFib attack. I just got “fixed”, but my fix was to counteract the side effects of the AFib Rx. My energy level was low….due to a sub 50 HR. Implanted with a Pacemaker. Felt the best I have in several years.
Jim Harrick has been to EVERY game this year….and I can usually spot him in the crowd of “Suits” at the away games. So, the sage and well compensated “Consultant” has not helped this year.
Time for a change. Time to let AD Yow do her job. I will also comment that if you have any “concerns” or issues or comments about the season or perhaps some suggestions for improvement….email her. She WILL answer. She will read them. Then, it is up to her to decide if she wants to emphasize your suggestions. And, you will get a response within 2 hours….anytime of the day…and sometimes late at night.
What?
MG got fixed but couldn’t git r done. Help is on way.
You’re welcome.Hang in there.
I could say,
“In walked Linda from the yard, I pinned her against the door as her breasts tensed against mine. Slowly she looked me up and down and said, ‘sure, okay. I’m ready.’ I let her be, walked over and poured us each a glass of scotch, straight, no cut. I handed her a glass and she looked at it pensively, waiting for me to say something. ‘You look tense McCallum. Is there anything I can help you with?’ My thoughts roamed the room, gazing down slowly I motioned toward the front of her dress. ‘Raise it up’ I said.
Slowly Linda raised her dress, a little at first then rapidly. I could see her breathing increase as I noticed the subtle panties that wrapped her tightly. ‘Is this fine McCallum. Do you like what you see?’ I motioned for her to spin around as she stood before me tanned and excited. Her legs were toned and firm, her stomach was flat, breasts-which lent to my first excitement-ample but not excessive. As she twisted to the side I realized her form was near ideal for a female, Classical Greek expressionism exhibited in stone. In many ways, as her buttocks moved toward me, she was the female version of the Vitruvian man, proportions in perfect harmony with one another. The narrow waist, fertile hips which produced a beautiful pear shaped bottom void of excess but healthy and athletic.
She softly glanced over her shoulder, orienting her bottom toward me. Slightly bending at the waist and tossing her hair she arched her back, reached for another taste of scotch and said, ‘do you see anything wrong with that?’ motioning to her bottom.
“Well”, I said. “You sat in dog sh.it and I smelled it when you walked in”.
OR
I could say,
“Linda you sat in dog sh.it so take that dress off”.
McCallum
