Ok ‘Dog, I went back and looked. I found nothing. Gotta show me where.
I don’t think I’ve ever been quoted so much before, at least not here. I’m feeling kinda famous.
‘foose…T’d up for political carry over.
Wha wha whaaaaat?. Political carry over? Where? I took your advice (and I can’t say it was not good advice) long ago to cut that out (at least direct references) here. I might slip up a few times a year, but not much more. Did I really do that somewhere in this thread? I’ll have to go back and look.
… at least your consistent!
Thanks! I knew you’d approve of striving for the ‘least’.
1) If we’re so good, why could BC beat Syracuse and we can’t?
That’s funny. I never said we were good. I was simply comparing your own contradictory statements. In one statement, you wrote NC State sucks (“If you suck, you’re never getting the benefit of the doubt…”). When it was pointed out that statement wasn’t consistent with State’s record and overall performance, to date, you softened your position in your response (“That indicates we’re not very good “) to better position your original point, which you changed. I pointed out your inconsistency, ie, sucks <> not very good. I know your type hates it when your floating arguments and inconsistencies are pointed out, so I apologize.
2) Why are we ranked 81 on kenpom behind such powerhouses as Cleveland St, Iona, North Dakota
Ummm.. I venture to guess that’s because those teams have performed better (based on the kenpom ranking system) than NC State over the course of the season. If you support ranking a team based on it’s actual performances, to date (as I do), and not on potential, then kenpom makes a valid argument that those teams are indeed better than NC State.
3) Why do we consistently draw fewer fouls than EVERY SINGLE TEAM we play? I haven’t gone through every game, but I’d be willing to bet you could count on one hand the number of games we’ve had a higher FTR.
I’m not sure if that statement is true (every single team, really?), but I don’t want to take the time to look it up, so I’ll accept it. So the answer is, lots of reasons. I’m no basketball expert, but I know enough to know that a thorough and comprehensive answer to that question cannot be made in a sentence or two, if it can be made at all.
4) Is every single reffing crew biased against us personally?
Nope. I never claimed they were. No one here has. You’re resorting to hyperbole now. I thought you were better than that, or at least liked to pretend to be.
Only comment I made was that officials are biased. They are. I don’t think anyone here disagrees with that. In fact, my exact statement was “I call it biased officiating, at best. An official’s charge is to call the game he/she sees. Period.”
Don’t look now, but freaking Virginia is leading the ACC.
Yep, and that’s due to excellent coaching, in all regards. Maximizing the group effectiveness and performance by meshing individual and team talent with tactics and strategy.
It’s not fair, but seriously, good teams are going to get the benefit of the doubt.
Agreed. Doesn’t mean it should be accepted as correct. Accepted to the point that we, as fans, have no choice, but not accepted to a point of never referencing the fact that it happens.
That’s a good place to end. On agreement. All is rainbows and unicorns in Wolfpack land. 🙂
What I flatly reject is the idea that they come into a game looking to screw one team.
I agree with that.
And if you’re judging improvement based solely on stats, you’re further proving your folly.
Sounds to me you’re trying to link a decreased RATE of production as evidence to support a lack of overall improvement.
Since TJ has proved he can score 20+ points in a half, I guess he sucks ass when he only scores 10.
No, you guys want to ignore all stats except what fits your agenda. I draw conclusions from the stats, not the other way around.
Right, because everyone knows athletic production is strictly and solely linear to the time variable.
Right.
Jigs, seriously dude, you’re a smart guy. What is up with you this week?
Just ask yourself this… if the exact same play occurred, the EXACT same play, but with all roles reversed, do you think the same call is made?
Or put Duke in ‘Cuse’s role and Maryland (or NC State, or Ga Tech, or …) in Duke’s role, do you honestly think it’s called the same way?
Duke was given the benefit of the doubt because it’s Duke. Call it studying ‘tendencies’, call it reputation, call it the Cameron advantage. I call it biased officiating, at best. An official’s charge is to call the game he/she sees. Period.
I want some ‘home cooking’….
With the heels on a role, and NC State ‘tendencies”, we might just get some. Just like the N&O is the ‘home’ paper.
We’re .500 in a weak league, have been blown out three times, and have no top 50 wins. That indicates we’re not very good by historical standards.
Not very good <> suck
Actually, I don’t think you addressed the point in the quote you referenced.
But I’m sure it’s our fault. We’re just too dumb to understand what you’re telling us we really meant.
Warren went from the 5th scoring option to THEE focal point of the offense and how that is answering an unknown and not an improvement. Frankly we can’t tell if he improved because we’re not comparing apples to apples.
WTF? Forget the eye test, how about the common sense test? Something about not seeing a forest because all the damn trees are in the way.
You’re asking one question but answering a different one.
“I’m so tired of hearing this crap.”
You’re not hearing it here, you are reading it. Simple solution, quite choosing to read it.
Cam Newton will never be a starting QB for a Super Bowl champion.
Not even in a Brad Johnson/Trent Folder type role.
Glennon will not be a Seahawk, not even a possibility, unless/until they have a fire sale and break up the team.
If you didn’t see this coming, you haven’t been watching this team closely. Question is, will Clemson choke it away.
For some reason, that no call makes me think of the phantom intentional foul called on us against Vandy.
