BTW: there was another one from down there (Whiteville) in animal science around the same time frame. Blonde and lights out beauty, I believe she returned and married a pig farmer.
I always saw that much like giving a high performance sports car to a greasy Italian with bad eye sight.

I’m watching a guard down at UGA named Ben Cleveland. He is 6’7″ 325 and was a 4 star in high school yet most of the kids that played against him thought he was soft. Not a fat kid at all, not lean either but just big so we’ll see how he works out.
Speaking of that I met a kid named Branden Bowen in the airport at Salt Lake City this summer. Huge kid, listed as three star yet Ohio State saw something and offered him so he flipped from Utah to OSU. Real heavy duty line pusher for certain, 2nd on the depth chart in Columbus.
Cleveland was always going to UGA, Bowen was a find.

Winning at Duke in football, rarely do sentences contradict themselves so much.
But yet there it is for all to see. A comparison to Double D need not be made since he lacks extensive experience and a stead staff but finding the right coach makes all the difference. It is akin to finding the right people in any field yet most bodies will simply plug and chug.
Low recruiting and facilities yet good results.
I keep thinking Mario Cristobal or Dan Mullen.

*the who you gonna get position is the BOHICs choice (bend over here it comes)
I agree with that but I expect that most teams have better coaches than State.
When was the last time any of you stood back and said “that is a really well coached team”?
It starts at the top and the top has sucked the big one for a very long time. Truth be known, they can suck because they DO UNDERSTAND the loyalty of the fan base (largely alumni)and that State folks aren’t going anywhere. They will show up and nod approval expecting good things when the twerps at the top are satisfied to just roll out something because ANYTHING will appease the base.

It is not a cheap shot on the “kid”.
I asked when he was signed if he was any good because it was apparent to me that something is missing when you are gauged to have a certain level of talent and yet you do not dominate. I pointed to Keith Marshall at Millbrook as another example in comparison to Todd Gurley.
What I heard was what you saw in the comment section and too much of the fan base buys into what they are told. There will be no success at State until the AD understands what type of mentality you need to look for at a place like NC State. That menaltity does not concern knowing the history of the school in an effort to supplicate the fan base and their narcasstic nature but rather to understand the complex nature of recruiting at NC State in relation to population, media connections, the impacts of basketball as well as the correlation of success in relation to the number division 1 programs within 200 miles.
State can’t even capitalize on the massive fraud that has taken place over in Orange County to horde in state talent. Instead the 7-8 year cycle of Tennessee or Clemson being down has been missed.
I just don’t think the SOBs know what they are doing.

How nice to ask me about Kirby Smart. I must say I’m flattered though I can’t help but see the ironic contrast between Kirby’s last name and the Georgia fan base.
What can you say about Georgia other than they get all they want each and every year. They pull the best in state talent plus they run that wonderful Hwy 74 from out near Shelby all the way down toward Wilmington. A little known FACT is that a Division 1 team could pull 30 miles north and south of that highway from Shelby to Wilmington and you’d have all you need to win big.
Not sure what to expect out of Georgia other than the typical mouthing of the fans who are akin to unc fans except they are less cultured but more bright. Now you ask more bright and I would point out that the typical Georgia fan figured out how to stop the blinking light on the VCR: they covered it with electrical tape.

Sometimes questioning convetional wisdom is helpful.
That said, were you the inspiration for the self driving car?

Don’t listen to anything wirogers says because:
1) he od’ed on honey buns and Dr Pepper during the Bush I administration
2) he once dated Summer Erb
The comments on Fraiser are an “attempt” to get some of you to step out of the greater Wake County area and have a look at the larger picture. Elite athletes of the “top 5” variety are rarely stopped or slowed down on the high school level, State has few if any in that talent category.
The talent level is not high in Raleigh nor is the coaching level. To suppose State will catch a break here or there, wishing for this or wishing for that are hyperbole. The o line play is weak, the wideouts lack speed experience and depth, QB play has no tangible experience, and the linebackers and secondary are weak(pretty weak last year for certain). The kicking game is in complete question but for some reason that is not mentioned much when you are pulling kids from unc-Pembroke.
State has depth on the defensive line and experience. There is depth at running back.
That is about it. Now we can beat the statistical analysis(plays from scrimmage versus, 3rd down conversion, yards 1st down, tackles on line, tackles are 5,10,15 yards from line etc) around all you like but when you finish you’ll see the is little regression from mean and mean is roughly .506 overall.
4-4 would be normal, 5-3 a deviation, 6-2 would send some of you back into Amway, and let’s not go any further because Cool-Aid only recovered from Jim Jones about 20 years ago despite him using Flavor-Aid.

Ted Brown also lead TA Andrews to a 4A state title against a loaded Richmond County team.

Leave Hakeem Nicks alone.
He had a very late diagnosed learning disability.
After his freshman year at unc the utopian prose of Hichomba DeClapizko Carumba helped break through Nick’s mental stigma toward learning and brought him into the shining light of academic excellence.
McCallum
4th on the depth chart at NC State despite being considered one of the top backs in the nations says enough.
So most certainly I’m making a judgement.
You made my point for me though, he hasn’t played a down. If he was all that and a bad of chips we would know by now.
My high school football coach, Jerry Daniels, looked like Wahoo.
And here is a Jerry Daniels quote for the ages, “if we score more than the other team we will win.”

All I know is some “analyst” undergraduate on this site told me how good Fraiser was going to be after I questioned the FACT that he couldn’t get his high school team to the state championship at the 1A level.
They will be lucky the win 6.
Fire him, go after Dan Mullen.

TheCOWDOG,
I said “cheaply and poorly”.
Cheap and effective warms my Presbyterian heart.
Understand the difference as I am sure you do.
McCallum
No other institution in the land comes close to doing it as cheaply and poorly as State whilst crapping on the fans along the way.
How not to do something DEFINES the Pack.

If body language affects performance then State has long mastered being on their knees in a Lewinsky fashion.

*fire them all. No more buddies and networking non-sense. Burn it all down and start again.
Hoosiers was on yesterday on AMC.
