Nobody mentioned that we dropped off some NC State SH_T in Atlanta… Maybe this team has learned something about how it can go both ways. Hard for me to believe all the criticism of Gott and the team. Pretty young IMHO and learning how to gell.

Nope, not Chuck Nevitt, who was from near the same hill country as Tommy Burleson. Chuck has at least 2 NBA Championship rings and probably has the distinction of ‘playing the least minutes but was on the roster so got a ring – twice’.
The answer is: Mr. Manute Bol – look it up.
1974-1978 (1974 ACC Football Champions, NCAA BB Champions, ACC Baseball Champions my Freshman Year) Still searching for that ‘Pack magic 40 years later!

Sorry Bill, I did forget Kobe…no disrespect intended. David (Thompson) and Kenny (Carr) stayed all 4 years and I was attending State during that time.
I’m old, but I also think we did get one “1” and his name was Chris Washburn. Last I heard about him he was pan-handling in Atlanta off of Anthony ‘Spud’ Webb, also of Wolfpack fame. That little kid…, had HEART, and he totally invented HOPS! (NBA dunk champion as a rookie).
TRIVIA QUESTION FOR ‘PACK FANS: Who was the Wolfpack player opposite Spud Webb to nab the Sports Illustrated ‘Shortest and Tallest’ players on one CBB Team? Hint: His surname is one-syllable and contains only one vowel.

Good post Bill… Whatever GOTT did (or not) for BJ and KW between their Frosh year and this season – it needs to be trademarked and/or patented, because it is the Holy Grail of CBB player development… I also think his ‘recruits’ from AL are taking it to a new level as well… I thought AL was CFB country? GOTT is well over 60% in his PD skills which is in the elite CBB Coaching category imho…
And I have to respectfully disagree about ‘the other 1’ – Coach Calp has 2-6, but the 1 is jumping straight to the NBA show a la Lebron James and Moses Malone (showing my age on that last one)!

Totally agree with all the pro-Cat posts… Here’s to hoping that the real ‘Cat Pack’ finds his groove the 2nd half of the season, starting tomorrow at FSU! I’m all-in…
-WolfPackRox
I’m hoping that Cat is in the Soph funk as Bill noted… I had it, failed my 1st Engineering Class because I couldn’t understand the Chinese GA who was teaching it and too naive to drop or take an IC (It was the 1975 year of A,B,C, No-Credit and I had a solid D damnit!). Got an A my 2nd Soph Semester and the rest is history…
Also agree with 13OT (sorry, can’t do that low-high thing), the one thing Tyler Lewis had was HEART, that nobody can coach. GOTT made his decision to back Cat, and GOTT will live with the results, bad or good…
-WolfPackRox
Totally agree Mak4, Cat needs to start breaking down defenses like a ‘Cat’, instead of a scared mouse, or he should sit and let someone else play. He has no heart on offense or defense right now and only shows that ‘cat like quickness’ one play per game…
And my other observation of the game was the ‘gracious’ comments Coach Roy made… Saying they were ‘lucky’ and giving props to all the Pack players using their first name, like he knows them personally… IMHO, it’s too orchestrated, confirming to me that ‘Roy knew’ what has been going on at UNC for a long time…

Did ACC Commish JS also recommend to the NCAA that they also banish Hess from any level NCAA sanctioned game? THAT would be news and demonstrated leadership, even if the Power-5 Conferences already plan to circumvent the NCAA itself in the near future… Hess should still be entitled to earn a living as a referee however, and I recommend middle-school girls & boys games or Rec-leagues in the Raleigh area…
-WolfPackRox
LoL Wufpacker. There were’t too many girlz at State when I was there – definitely not in the Engineering classes. We got to know the insides of Meredith, Peace and St. Mary’s very well to get by…
How do you post a pic instead of the Avatar?
-WolfPackRox
I like the move and recruiting experience of GM. Why would he leave Syracuse to come to NC State – seems like lateral move to me? I’m not complaining, just wondering… More $$ and better weather?
-WolfPackRox
WufPacker, props for the tip for an old man… My son helped me tweet and I think CF may now have the message in hand…enjoy
aka: GlobalCitizen97-WolfPackRox
Basspacker, with respect, you would be wrong… Louisville led 21-0 over FSU and the biggest Pack lead was 24-7. 21>17, at least that is what I learned in math at State, albeit a long time ago. That was in fact noted in the graphic that ESPN showed correctly during the FSU-ORG game. No disrespect to you intended, but I have done my research on this one…
-WolfPackRox
Remember, as someone aptly pointed out, I’m old… But I will learn how to tweet within the next 48 hours, so we can all see what Mr. Fowler has to say about it – thanks Wufpacker!
-WolfPackRox
LOL CowDog! I guess if I had the choice, I would rather it be a good shout-out when the Pack is on the field…
And I tried to find an e-mail for CF but couldn’t…anybody got his cell#?
-WolfPackRox
Well said Packalum44. That FSU-ORG outcome was ‘way out there at the end of the bell curve’ almost 1-sigma from the Standard Deviation mean… 🙂
-WolfPackRox
Thanks for all the good comments. I guess my basic question is ‘why dis a conference that you have such a large TV relationship with in FB and BB?
Texpack, if Fowler had used your logic, he should have dissed Louisville whom FSU came back on from a bigger deficit and whom had already laid an egg in their bowl game against UGA. And if it was a legitimate dis, why did ESPN scrub it from the online replay? hmmmmmm
No Sharpton fan here, he’s a race baiter. When will he ever show (his self-proclaimed) leadership in taking the stand that the family unit (or lack there-off) is a key to success for African Americans who want to get ahead? That’s for a different day and forum…
Thank’s all. I’m over it. I hope the Pack is playing well enough to have GameDay visit for LV or UNC game next season in Raleigh, or @ FSU game. I’ll be down from PA to say Hi to Chris.
-WolfPackRox
My memory was ,>5min to go in the 3rd, but I had been drinking after watching the Pack smoke Pitt in BB. Fowler basically said ‘no disrespect to the ACC,’ even though he was basically already dissing the conference already by insinuating that FSU was the best they had and they were getting smoked, ‘that’s not NC State’ [down there]! You have to find it!!
