Doesn’t look like ESPN3 will be airing either of the Pack’s games today. Anyone know of another online TV source to watch? No game tracker, not today.
To add mystery to the intrigue, the weather forecast looks awfully wet this weekend. Wouldn’t be surprised to see a few double headers in some of these season-ending series.
Vinny Del Blanco should start seeking reparations now
https://twitter.com/BasketballPics/status/460893822059159552/photo/1Guys we’ve got nothing to worry about now. If anybody can get things done to solve a problem, its Congress. Hands off the wheel.
The rum must have been the trick. Well done boys, series win at Clemson shows this team may still want to make some noise.
Dear Jobu,
Please let this great catch prove to be the start of the momentum needed for the Wolfpack to turn things around and finish the season strong. The Pack would appreciate your blessings to wake up their bats and kick ass up and down the interstate as they begin their longest road trip of the season tomorrow.
Gracias,
Elvis
To the poster that I gave a hard time to about not panicking just yet last after getting swept by Maryland last weekend. Getting swept at home by Miami to lose 9 straight conference games? I’m afraid I was wrong and you were right.
My calendar says March, relax and let the season play out. If indeed the “train is off the tracks” right now, there is plenty of time to get things rolling full speed again. Conference losses (especially back-to-back sweeps) sting, but there is no reason to panic. If this were the end of May, I might agree with your observation. But for now, wait for the warm weather and keep the faith that Avent will have the team peaking come Tournament Time.
Re: temps above 60
So that’s what’s been wrong with the Minnesota Twins since they moved their ballpark outdoors ! Trying to play baseball in the peak of ice fishing season.
I do believe that weather impacts the game. From loosening up, to gripping the ball to the sting of hitting one off the handle. Fouling one off your ankle hurts like a monkey in any weather.
Let’s put the +60 degree temptature theory to test today and see if we can prove our hunch. Hunches are like scientific research papers in baseball.
Having the Maryland pitcher strike out 14 batters doesn’t help either. Looks like that kid pitched the game of his life.
Plenty of time for Carlos and the rest of the Pack to get into form. And still plenty of time for a weekend series win if they can pull it together tomorrow. The weather is supposed to be in the mid 60’s and sunny up here in Maryland tomorrow, maybe the boys will be able to take off the hats for bats (keep bats warm, gracias) and put up a few crooked numbers on the scoreboard.
But let’s hope they start the turnaround by remembering how to play defense. 4 errors ain’t gonna win many games.
Four Wolfpack errors in the first five innings allowed eight unearned runs.
Maybe Carlos is just trying to avoid playing for the Houston Astros. That’s the only explanation I can come up with regarding his stat lines thus far. I know that he struggled with control early last year (several batters being HBP on 0-2 counts come to mind) and had a few games where his walks forced him into high pitch counts and early hooks, but his start to this season has been the slowest in terms of unleashing dominance in the past 3 years.
Has anyone that has been watching the games noticed anything different in his mechanics? Is it just quirky defense and low run support that is dogging him like last year?
Just for the record where did Jeff Goodman go to school?
Goodman went to the University of Taiwanese Lady-Boy Lovers.
I mean Arizona. University of Arizona.
Might have been the last team selected to be in. Just by the hairs of their chinny, chin, chins! Now it’s time to huff and puff and blow up some brackets.
^Navy for the 16th ACC team.
These posts are why I keep coming back to SFN to read basketball stories. Even after all the ref conspiracy debates. TJW ’15 campaign begins today.
Good work by the staff to scramble and pull together a series on short notice. Season opener finally here!
Wuf, not expecting a last-minute preview for the matchup with the Golden Griffins (seriously, I hope their mascot is a gilded Peter Griffin) but appreciate the updates. Looking forward to another great season.
Season opening game scheduled for Friday 2/14 at UC-Santa Barbara has been canceled. Today’s weather canceled the flight that was going to take the Pack 9 out to Cali. No word on if the team can find other arrangements to get out west by the weekend.

If *NC’s 3-game series scheduled for 2/14, 2/15 and 2/16 vs. College of Charleston gets canceled this weekend due to weather, perhaps the ACC will look to right the wrong of excluding the State/Holes series this year?
In a perfect world……NC State cancels their 3-game home series with Coastal Carolina, currently scheduled for 5/2, 5/3 and 5/4 and reschedules with *NC to play a 3-game set that weekend. (*NC currently has that weekend open as their off week for the season). State gives the travel budget NOT used to fly to LA this weekend to Coastal Carolina as a gesture of “sorry man, no hard feelings” and encourages them to play mini-golf on the west coast and order off the “secret menu” at In-n-Out in early May.
You’re welcome America.
Wuf definitely carried the torch for nearly all of 2013, no disrespect intended by not mentioning. Great job last year Wuf. I saw in another thread that he said something about leaving the desert soon and heading back east. I do hope he returns in time to continue to fan the flame of supporting the best NC State athletic team in the past 25 years.
I always do my best to nudge Dr. BP this time of year to ask for his insight on the ACC and any dirt on the Pack. I’m a big State baseball fan but far removed from any inside knowledge of how the young players are developing and what the feeling in the clubhouse is regarding rotation, bullpen and position battles. State baseball deserves all the attention it can get, this season could turn out to be very special.
When does your final caravan fire up for the sojourn swan song? Hopefully you’ll find yourself within range of an Eskimo Hut drive-thru daiquiri shop somewhere along your travels.
Outside the Lines will post the link to the video by Friday. *rimshot*
While you guys wait for the video, they did post the podcast if you’re dying for the audio.
