  1. What the...?

    This was an unreal display. Duke did everything better. There is no silver lining. This was like watching the big kids toying with the 3rd graders. Change is needed.
  2. Billy Packer

    Saw that Billy Packer died yesterday. Like him or hate him, he was part of the broadcasting group that took basketball to its prominent position on tube. I used to watch him call ACC games with Bones McKinney and Jim Thacker (Sail with the Pilot and NCNB We want to be th best bank in the...
  3. When does Pastner feel heat

    Very true. Sadly, this started for me about ten years ago when college football really became a cesspool and it started to spread to hoops. I miss the days of caring about whether Wake would beat Clemson on a Tuesday night in Jan. I used to watch whatever ACC game Raycom (or JP back in the...
  4. IF Pastner is fired, who would be a good hire to replace him?

    Ben McCollum, NW Mo State 334-83 lifetime record 29-5 D2 NCAAT 4 time national champion 5 time D2 National Coach of the Year Won conference 10 of last 11 years Could he recruit & win in D1? No way to know, but I think he's a better bet than a P6 assistant or someone with one good year as HC...
  5. When does Pastner feel heat

    I was asked by one university to continue my current giving to their fund (think AT) and any additional funding I wanted to give should go to a collective instead of raising my direct University giving. In that case, it wasn't passive, it was blatant and explicit. Will be very interesting to...
  6. When does Pastner feel heat

    Just clarifying..... the UConn rabid fanbase that will do anything for basketball gives $2 million while the awful terrible Tech faithful (who we are constantly told suck and just need to give more money) give 3.5x that amount, or $7MM?
  7. NC State Game @ McCamish

    2-21 from 3 8-19 FT Thank God Jalon showed up. Without him, we were 20-57. Miles, Deebo, Devon, Lance and Kyle combined for 2-19 from 3. May be the worst shooting I've ever seen in a game.
  8. NC State Game @ McCamish

    State is playing well right now. More than just the Terquavion Smith show. Burns is enormous and has been surprisingly effective at both ends of the floor. Morsell & Joiner have been playing well and Ernest Ross was key in the win over Miami. We can beat them, but we will have to play...
  9. FSU 1/7/2023 - GAME THREAD

    I go to every ACC game I can (some nights I can't go due to child custody issues). I try to go to reasonable OOC games but don't bother when we play teams like Florida Tech. I may not get giddy on gameday mornings, but I do enjoy going to the games and cheering for the team. @AUFC if you're...

    And as they said about Tree Rollins, that means he made more than half of his dunks

    and an insufferable a$$hole
  12. UVA - 12/31

    Rumor out of the Triangle is that Bacot is either at or slightly over $1MM with Love & Davis in mid- to high-six figures. Several TarHole boosters are convinced the NIL money is why they are playing so lethargically and with no urgency. Word is that Duke has similar issue with Lively and...
  13. UVA - 12/31

    From about 10:45 to 2:45 of first half, UVA made two shots. Did we play great D? I don’t think so. They missed open shots and made some bad decisions. They hit three shots in final 2:45 or so and then curb stomped us at start of second half. Honestly, I think we’re lucky we didn’t lose...
  14. Clemson Game 12/21/2022 7:30 PM

    The ref is Jeff Anderson, affectionately known as the Invisible Tire Drill
  15. GT Hoops General Topics

    Before we jump on the "fire Beard" bandwagon, let's remember what the early press looked like in Bell v Pastner. Let's give this a little time to let more details come out before this takes on an internet life of its own.
  16. When does Pastner feel heat

    Think there are a few games they could steal.... FSU (A) (so far, the Noles have been a dumpster fire), Louisville (A), and Pitt (A) in addition to NCSU (H) and Syracuse (H) that you mention
  17. Is the Ft. Myers Tip-Off still on?

    Based on pre-conf results, I think five teams from ACC will get bids. UNC, Duke & UVA seem like locks. Miami and Va Tech seem likely, but lots of games left to play. Anyone beyond those five is going to have an uphill sled this year as our in-conference RPI may be the worst ever. There are...
  18. ACC 2022-2023

    Louisville loses at home by one to a mid major. Again. 0-3 start to Payne's tenure and all three have been one point losses. Ouch
  19. Battle of ATL

    Minor correction... this was Ga State's third game in the new arena. Exhibition against Morehouse and a real game against Coastal Georgia on Monday. LOTS of empty seats, so far from a packed house. The GSU student section was awesome. They were loud and involved the whole game. Lots of...
  20. Battle of ATL

    My two cents.... Ga State isn't very good. Other than their one big, Hudson, they were 8 - 39 with about 4 minutes left. Tons of horrific shots hoisted. They looked disjointed and like a bunch of guys who just met at the gym a few days ago. They may get better as the year moves along, but...
