… well look at that…
We’re playing at home !
I guess ya’ll think I’m stupid… but I really had it my head we were headed to South Beach.Don’t anybody throw anything on the floor… OK.
And who knows whether or not it calculated or intended….
but the black uni say pretty clearly…
“We ain’t the same team… we were the last time you saw us play”.Game flow is considerably faster than what I think Miami coaches would prefer.

GOTT on the whiteboard after only four minutes…
hmmm…..#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!… cute Paky…. can you pump some sound in behind that pic…

Astute roundball observers will be watching this closely this afternoon.
Miami’s NoName Bigs are as rough and tough as they come.
Our Bigs… had their best combined effort just three nights ago.
This will determine the outcome of the game.
unless somebody else on either side has a career game.CUZ gets his twenty….
Otherwise… The guards on both sides are more or less evenly matched.

Hull, Kelly & Anderson are the zebras…
please pass that over to the OTHER GAME THREAD…#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!From South Beach…
Currently 80 degrees with a few high clouds…
Estimated Attendance at basketball game < 3,000http://www.weather.com/weather/today/USFL0706:1

GOTT & Company and our young kids better have brought their own ‘energy and enthusiasm’
otherwise they’re gonna feel like they’re playing an early season 2A game in Faison or Graham.That said… I am sure ya’ll will all join me watching closely to see….
“Who wants to be the LEADER OF THE PACK! today”—————
In the second half….after we GOTT a twenty point lead….
ANTHONY v. LeCompte could be entertaining….
kinda like watching grease on grease….#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!Mods….
Can we have two game threads today??
One for Ric and whoever wants to hang over there…
And one for EVERYBODY else….There’s enough stress and frustration in life with or without #NCSTATESH%T….
There’s no room left for #SFNSH%T.#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!^ Maybe we could hire one of our alumni, the former distinguished professor of Architecture and Raleigh City Councilman, Dr. Randolph Hester to lead the design the traffic / transportation solutions.
He retired now and living an hour away and might be up for the challenges.
Besides… most everybody that remembers what the City Council he served on did back in the 1970s either is long gone or can’t remember what they ‘engineered’ back then. Most everybody… that is.What goes around… comes around…
and Karma is….#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!…well … at least “somebody” corrected the MISSPELLED WORD in the last sentence…
but that “AND” at the beginning of paragraph #9 is still there…From Winston Hall…
Revised Grade …
Content A+ / Grammar && Punctuation C+Now your next assignment Mr. Nadkarni is to write a 500 word prologue discussing
the necessity of stating one’s credentials when writing potentially controversial news stories in addition
to previously scheduled followup story.… HA!…
#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!Overhead this…
But… Pop…Do we have to watch the State game??
HELL YES… either that or you have to go clean your room and dishes for a week.
NOW Shut UP… you’re gonna learn something….Just don’t pay any attention to some guy named Ric…. who’s always complaining about the referees…
#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!Come on… Ric….
It’s just a man of your talents needs to work where he can coach young people to follow their dreams.
Not a lot of that around here… you know.Besides…. it would just be a part time gig….
You could drop around over here anytime…. as long as the bossman wasn’t looking…..
#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!Let’s turn a negative into a positive…
That’s what, as “mentors” to future generations of Wolfpackers should do….Let’s send Ric over to the Student Center and let him show ’em how to do it right!
(and yes… some might consider that move the proverbial ‘killing two birds with one stone’ )Besides how many of us …. came damn close to flunking English 110/111/112 and turned every assignment in on time for four years?
#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!Right On.. paky..
there’s the other “name” I couldn’t find…
DT,
and not in any order…
Carr, McMillian, DelNegro and Gugs….Our Top Five in the NBA….
#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!When these sorts of topics come up, I’m always amazed how few folks remember Kenny Carr.
+1 for #32….
Anybody remember the other guy in this photo?? They were ‘floppin’ back in the day too!
———–And don’t ya’ll agree we ought to add Vinny Del Negro to this list?
By my calculations… he has more years in the NBA than any other Wolfpacker….————
As far as CUZ goes….
He’s definitely GOTT the raw talent and the potential… but probably needs to fill in some of the missing pieces mentioned above and fine-tune the rest of his game to make the cut.#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!^Agreed…
Proper writing skills may well be a lost craft.
Is anybody surprised that there wasn’t a “WTF” or “SMH” or something like this “did u get dat?’ included….Nevertheless… sometimes it pays for the ‘adults’ to listen to the ‘kids’… they might just learn something.
As far as ‘persuasive writing’ goes… maybe we can get Ric to work directly with these guys…. He does seem to have a passion for that.
#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!From Winston Hall… we GOTT this…
GRADE: A+ / C-
That’s likely not what State fans want to hear, but that’s reality. It’s about time this fan base has a done of reality anyway– they’ve been out of touch with it for far too long .
There’s a misspelled word in the last sentence…
“done” we believe should be “dose”…We Are NCSTATE.
:>}
#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!^^ Neither was it widely reported that CUZ was not at all happy playing with last year’s group of individuals…
Pop said ‘No’.
#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!Dr. Wuf…
First, let me say we don’t hear enough from you in particular, or wolfpack women in general, around here… see you can fix that.. ok!!
As I recall… you have some background (experience) in psychology….so I hope you don’t mind, if I present a hypothetical for your consideration and expert comment.
Let’s say you’ve been hired to observe and evaluate three employment candidates (all graduates from NC State) for a good position with a good company. The job interviews you are observing are conducted by a senior manager, who is an well known NC State alum and consist of just one question.
“Tell me what you thought about the Carolina-State basketball game last night and describe how the game was won or lost.”
Candiate A says…. “It was a great game. Both teams played well, especially our young kids. And that guard from Carolina who made the winning layup was unbelievable in the second half.”
Candiate B says…. “It was a typical State-Carolina game. The refs were hard to handle. They made some head-scatching calls late in the game and alot of fouls were called. If we had made a couple more free throws or one less turnover, we would have won the game, but that just wasn’t in the cards last night.”
Candidate C says… “You’ve looked at my resume and know that I graduated from NC State too…. so it won’t surprise you, when I say ‘We was robbed…’. The refs single handedly made sure that State couldn’t win the game, just like Johnny Swofford has told them to do for the last twenty years. But let’s not talk anymore about that…. you have work that you need done here and I have exactly what you’re looking for in order to get that job done right.”
Ceteris parabus…. what are your recommendations ?
And feel free to fill in whatever blanks (add) in the three interviews you find necessary in order to fully express your evaluations. Please do not fail to recommend one candidate for further consideration.
Also please note… that there are no wrong answers… and no grade will be given. :>}
Oh yeah… for what it’s worth… I’m a basketball guy. Never played a down of organized football in my life…. But sports is all about coaching and coaching is 70% the same stuff (all about people) regardless of the sport being played.
Anyway… fire when ready… no pun intended…..
#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!CUZ, at the end of day, will do what Pop tells him to do…..
For a big majority of kids who leave college early….
One more year on campus at a top fifty D1 school is equal to five more years and double the money over their career in the pros OR BETTER.Now make a list of kids you know where this might be true…
Is CUZ on your list?#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!PapaWolf …
all natural ingredients….
mix one part total frustration, one part imagination and one part history…
shaken not stirred…
with a twist of wolfpackred…
let it sit until motionless…serve straight up…
enjoy with friends…
Besides… Wolf82 asked for optimism, not ‘shine from the footballs of the Commonwealth… right ??
Plenty of stuff on that “Twelve Days of Christmas for WolfPack fans everywhere” list above….
Let us know what your personal favorite is and maybe we can put that up on Amazon.com….
We aim to please….—————–
Note… player/personnel rumors are inevitable…
so we might as well start some good ones…
Who knows what difference they might make.#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!More optimism….
1. Coach Rat retires…
2. Uncle Roy sticks around for one more ‘exhausting’ season babysitting the cheaters and goes 0 for four against the Pack… counting the Pack victory over the Holes in the 2014 tournament…
3. Swofford retires… and writes a tell-all book that once and for all …
that documents the nonsense of the ‘referee conspiracy’… by proving, beyond a shadow of anyone’s doubt, that the whole thing was a twenty five year ‘deal’ … started and financed by B.Poulton, et.al…The ensuing lawsuits result in reparations to NCState in the amount of $100,000,000 which the Wolfpack Club uses to tear down the RBC/PNC and to build a real basketball gym where Haralson Hall is or used to be….
4. Rick gets a new job making three times his current salary working near PackerInRussia… GMT +9… and can’t post for ten hours straight after games anymore….
5. The Twerps re-nig on their BIG10 deal…. so we can keep kicking their a$$es….
6. The NCAA has their doors closed forever as a result of the *NC academic scandal….
7. NCState Football goes 8-4 in 2014-15….
#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!Optimism….
1. We will play the Holes in the Tournament… We WILL win that game.
2. CUZ will be back in Raleigh next season…
as one of the TEAM leaders on a TEAM with something to prove…3. And so will a new and improved ANTHONY….
who miraculously learns how to play point guard over the off season.4. And so will Coach LUTZ…. who doesn’t take his own gig…
5. Our kids finish this season with momentum, energy and enthusiasm…
If that means a NIT championship… then that’s ok with me….
Regardless… they have a lot to be proud of with respect to their accomplishments as a TEAM this season and all that needs to carry over to next year…. Let’s put the days of two steps forward and one step backwards behind us for good.#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!^Me too….
Let’s add this….
What we are seeing this season, in terms of how to build a team, and thereby build a program that is truly successful over the long term, is ALL GOOD.

All the ref-conspiracy-bs goes out the window if we just do one thing….
Have a Ten point lead with four minutes to play every night…
And learn how to handle that…Apparently that is the only way for us to have a chance against the chosen schools.
College basketball is a joke.Rick… that is the only way to BE a championship program…
Just consider for one minute…. what ALL is involved and what it TAKES starting in August (for bball) to
have a “Ten Point Lead with Four to Go Every Night”….
Learning how to handle that … might be the easier of the two halves of the formula….The only “jokes” here are thinking there is some other way….
or making excuses…
or blaming others…
or thinking some are “chosen” and some “aren’t”…#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!While we all aspire to perfection…. and expect the same from others….
It ain’t gonna happen.
The kids did the ‘best’ they could do….
Paige did them one, just one, better….
Get over it…All the ref-conspiracy-bs goes out the window if we just do one thing….
Have a Ten point lead with four minutes to play every night…
And learn how to handle that…U of Miami in 28 hours…
Our kids will bounce back faster than some of you guys…#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!Does this look like a guy who keeps zebras in his pocket ??
———————Wonder why Ric didn’t suggest a technical was in order there for being
“out of the box…” ??Now if Les Jones had given Uncle Roy the T he deserved for showboating out of the box… that would have been two free throws and the ball… walk off victory for the Pack… that one play cost us the game …. right ???
hell yeah… fire Les Jones, fire Swofford, fire Gott , fire everybody…
basketball sucks, NCSTATESH$T sucks, everybody sucks….
yeah right on ric…#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!
