However, DU is so much better than us that I can’t get too emotionally engaged. It would be a historic upset that I just can’t imagine. Especially if Tyler is still sick. I think we need him to avoid getting too frustrated and for his passing skills if we are going to get it inside.
What’s on at the movies at say, 2:00?
01/18/2014 at 10:00 AM #37366Prowling WoofieParticipantScheduling quirk… yep
01/18/2014 at 10:02 AM #37367BJD95KeymasterIt’s too bad for my overwhelming sense of malaise and dread…I would enjoy hearing Bill Raftery announce our game for a nice change of pace. Highly doubt our wolven efforts will be Onions! worthy…
01/18/2014 at 10:11 AM #37368WulfpackParticipantWe’re on the ropes and everyone knows it. We will play with heart and play well, but it won’t go our way in the end. Our nemesis Maryland would essentially then be in a position to put us out of our misery. This team would not be able to come back from a 1-5 start, no question about that. So Maryland, IMHO, becomes the game of the year. You cannot lose that one.
01/18/2014 at 10:20 AM #37369BJD95KeymasterWake was already must-win for me, so I am just trying to enjoy them in a Gonzo sense now. Jigs’ insane matchup avatars help quite a bit, Hunter S. Thompson would have approved.
01/18/2014 at 10:31 AM #37370wufpup76KeymasterThanks so much for putting this together.
Hope for the best.

Just saying.
01/18/2014 at 11:17 AM #37373BJD95KeymasterAn album for good mojo?
01/18/2014 at 11:19 AM #37374TMD11ParticipantThe team needs to focus on improving a game at a time, learning how to play basketball together at this level in Gott’s scheme. Duke has more talent, more smarts…and will win, period.
Then maybe by mid February we can begin winning.01/18/2014 at 11:26 AM #37376WufpackerParticipantHaha….somebody in the Gameday crowd in Philly has a Sweet Dee bighead.
Nice.
01/18/2014 at 11:26 AM #37377bill.onthebeachParticipantWell… my kids went out last and broke a few ‘team rules’ so I GOTT to punish them today.
I think I’ll make them watch the State-Dook bball game from start to finish.
As for the rest of us…
Can we just fast forward to somewhere around 3:45pm and just watch the last two minutes ??#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!01/18/2014 at 11:28 AM #37378BJD95KeymasterYay, Sweet Dee!!!!!
Maybe make your kids write up a full report on the game, too. That’ll learn ’em good.
01/18/2014 at 11:46 AM #37379bill.onthebeachParticipant^ Kids — write a report ? —
It would be easier to teach our bball kids how to run a zone offense than that….#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!01/18/2014 at 12:21 PM #37380WufpackerParticipantbill running paper classes?
Say it ain’t so.01/18/2014 at 1:22 PM #37383ILPackfanParticipantExpecting the worst today and hoping for anything better than that. Hard to believe that Jimmy V is currently the last Pack coach to beat Krzyzewski in Cameron.
01/18/2014 at 1:28 PM #37384BJD95KeymasterAlthough to be fair, HWSNBN and MG each really did “win” in Cameron, only to be completely f-cked over by the striped branch of the Swofford mafia.
And I don’t make that charge lightly, I very, VERY rarely blame officiating for actually flipping a result.
01/18/2014 at 1:35 PM #37386WufpackerParticipantWe won @Duke in ’95.
Go Les!!!!
(of course, just about everyone won @Duke in ’95)*yes, I know the distinction was made re: “K-led Duke”…just clarifying for those who might not have caught that distinction.
01/18/2014 at 1:39 PM #37387BJD95KeymasterAfter the home win in ’95, I stepped onto the court and yelled “we’re number EIGHT!”
Naturally, even though we had the rare privilege of being seeded 8th in the Les Robinson Invitational that year…we still lost it.
01/18/2014 at 1:41 PM #37388wufpup76Keymaster^^Two games absolutely stolen, BJD … one of which helped ruin a promising season for HWSNBN’s team. I do wonder sometimes how it would’ve possibly different if the @Duke and @Maryland games don’t get completely stolen from that HWSNBN team that season. Oh well, in the past I guess.
01/18/2014 at 1:44 PM #37389WufpackerParticipantIt would have taken longer to be rid of him more than likely.
01/18/2014 at 1:47 PM #37390BJD95KeymasterCriminy, I had forgotten that the MD game was the same season. We entered the death spiral immediately thereafter.
But had we not gone down said death spiral, perhaps the “weave and heave” portion of the HWSNBN era never happens…
01/18/2014 at 1:51 PM #37391BJD95KeymasterPrediction contest!
How many will we be behind, once this UK/TN game ends and the CBS feed switches?
I say 7, which I feel is remarkably optimistic.
01/18/2014 at 1:53 PM #37392WufpackerParticipantUK/UT looking to go long…maybe that’s good.
BC fading.
FSU surging…sort of.
01/18/2014 at 1:55 PM #37393WufpackerParticipantLOL BJD, I was thinking the same thing.
