ParticipantTrampolines at the Triangle Sports Club were set into the ground with lots of padding around, so you had a shorter distance to impact 🙂
MrPlywood
Participant@trampoline – did you get one of those wussy nets or are you going to let your kids learn the hard way?
MrPlywood
ParticipantThe way LeBron flails about, perhaps his nickname should be Fling James.
MrPlywood
ParticipantDid you see a few tenths tick off the clock after Paige’s shot went in and time was called? Home cookin’.
[Edit] I guess they fixed that, but then it went again. Haha.
MrPlywood
Participant^That’s my thinking Wulf. Plenty of teams have more than one guy who prospers, it’s practically required to be top 20.

ParticipantI wonder how things would have turned out had Jefferson stayed with his commitment to State.
MrPlywood
ParticipantJOhnson just travelled.

ParticipantShannon with the peek-a-boo cleavage. Nice touch.
MrPlywood
ParticipantDV getting all hyperbolic over Parker moving his foot. “Hi IQ!!! Did you see that?!?!?”
MrPlywood
ParticipantThe Pack women have had better days, but it was to be expected playing ND with 3 seniors out. Myisha Goodwin-Coleman and Lakeesa Daniel unfortunately are done for the year, hopefully Gatling will be back for the NCAA tourney.
MrPlywood
ParticipantAZ loses to O, proving that NC State sh*t knows no bounds and effects coaches State was just wishing for. 🙂

Participant@pakfanistan – it’s already happening. Mark Cuban gave SMU $100k to study the physics of fouling and flopping with the goal of helping refs recognize one versus the other. Combine their research with your patches and you’re set for life!
The embedded YouTube vid in the first article is great, check out James starting at :50 in. Classic.

ParticipantMuffet is actually her legal name (really) so I’m guessing her nickname is “Quickdraw” or “Tug”. Then we’re back to…
Anyway, big congrats to Coach Moore. What an amazing job.

ParticipantFirst of all, I have no idea why any members of the Anti-Coagulation Self-Monitoring Alliance, American Canine Sports Medicine Association or Air Conditioning Sheet Metal Association would even get to vote on this award. But I guess they are since that’s the only reasonable explanation I can come up with for TJ not getting votes for an individual honor due to the team’s performance.
I used the Google machine and could not find any official criteria for the ACC POY award. If anyone knows what they are, please post them.

ParticipantGet out of my head wufpup, I was thinking that exact thought.
MrPlywood
ParticipantSulaimon with 2 flailing leg 3 pointers, refs bit once, not the second time. Then when Duke had backed off, Sulaimon sneaks up from behind to get a “steal” and Dook still can’t convert. Bush league.
State needs to win some of these effing games!

ParticipantI reread a linked article about the Martin “investigation” and while I’m sure this has been mentioned before, it bears repeating with the current Crowder interviews.
http://www.wral.com/former-gov-to-report-on-unc-academics/11857262/
“Neither Nyang’Oro or Crowder were interviewed during the course of the investigation. In the report, there is a footnote for each stating stating, “Governor Martin placed a phone call to Dr. Nyang’oro (Crowder), who did not answer the call or respond to a message requesting an interview.”
While multiple former football coaches and players were interviewed, no current players or coaches on either the football or basketball teams were interviewed.
“My opinion was that basketball players would not have been able to tell us anything we didn’t know from other sources,” Martin said adding that current athletes “have enough to do.”
That happened over a year ago and it’s still unbelievable.

ParticipantInside Carolina is the best for paranoid, bombastic, hyperbolic, insecure, naive Hole fans who have never set foot in Chapel Hill. That’s all I’ve got.
MrPlywood
ParticipantI have decided to offer a few ideas for articles, just to help get the Technician staff started for next year.
“UNC Hires Rob Ford to Conduct Independent Review”
“Branding Firm Contracted to Develop the *NC Logo Design and Marketing Strategy” – “Hey, it makes perfect business sense,” said Chancellor Folt.”If we can leverage the asterisk and sell some more swag, why not?”
“WalMart Buys Naming Rights to the Dean Dome”
“No Show Classes Proven to Reduce Student Anxiety” *NC students have already proved that they are the cream of the crop, why burden them with actual work?
MrPlywood
ParticipantYou beat me to it Bill. So the guy is admitting that he can’t do any better, he can’t raise the bar above jokes based on “sexism, racism and homophobia”. Good lord, if you can’t put together a spoof paper with all the material that uNX has provided over the last few years you might as well give up, and it appears that is just what he did.
Over the years I have read many smart, funny and non-sexist-racist-homophobic publications from Mad Magazine in the 60’s to Spy magazine to The Onion. It can be done.
MrPlywood
ParticipantThe case for TJ is that he’s just about the only reliable offensive option for State, and he’s been able to do what he’s done with every D keying on him. Patrick pointed that out tonight. IMHO that counts for a lot.
MrPlywood
ParticipantFreeman scored the last 6 points of the 1st half to get State within 5. He also had 5 rebounds in that span of 2:25. Huge contribution there.
MrPlywood
ParticipantDon’t leave me Buckets!
MrPlywood
ParticipantA couple of well-timed offensive rebounds to keep things alive.
MrPlywood
ParticipantWow, that’s the way it’s supposed to work!
