  1. ACC Tournament - 2017

    True, but I think Wake beating Louisville & VPI in four days is almost impossible.
  2. 1-1 with Todd Stansbury. What should I ask him?

    Boost wifi and cell signals during games. Every NFL & NBA stadium does this. May cost a little but improves fan experience and helps people post things to social media DURING the game, which creates buzz and things go viral
  3. This team will surprise some

    @Peacone36 ... the good news is you have LOTS of company. Most of us underestimated the team. Loving it now
  4. ACC Tournament - 2017

    Our seeding in ACCT is now simple. Beat Syracuse and we are #9. Likely opponent on day 2 is Miami. Lose to Syracuse and we're #10, likely day 1 opponent is BC. Day 2 opponent is hard to know (7 seed could likely be UVA or VPI) ACCT seeds 3-7 are going to be hard to figure out until all...

    Syracuse fans have been a great add to the conference. They are knowledgeable and passionate. Sometimes they are friggin hysterical, too. Plus, I love watching the vids of Boeheim's pressers
  6. Postseason Chances?

    Things the kids can impact.... beat Syracuse.... win at least one game in ACCT (hopefully 2). Things they have no control over... everything else if they take care of the former, they are in the conversation. If they don't, they're not. I get a headache trying to figure all the scenarios...
  7. This team will surprise some

    I went back and looked at some of my own preseason expectations for this team. Some were spot on In other ways I was so far off the mark, it's laughable 1 or 2 conference wins.... 13 or 14 wins overall.... building a statue of CJP if we make the NCAAs.... Okogie has been far better than I...
  8. no sweeter music will i hear....

    I don't think Duke will be in the finals. They're only playing 7 kids and Allen is hurt, which shortens their bench even more. Assuming they lose to UNCheat this weekend, they'll miss the double bye and no way they will four games in four days with that short rotation
  9. Notre Dame 2/26

    I'll just say that Q is a helluva lot better player than I was at 20 years of age. He isn't an all ACC guy but most aren't. He is a valuable member of a team blowing away expectations.
  10. NC State 2/21

    Louisville had Jan 19 & Jan 21, Feb 4 & Feb 6, and Feb 11 & Feb 13. UNC had Jan 14 - 16, Jan 26-28 and Feb 25-27. I missed one of those earlier, so yup, they had 3 also
  11. NC State 2/21

    Every ACC team has a couple of these two day turnarounds these days. It's part of the ACCN package and having games on every day of the week except Friday. In February alone... UVA: @ Syracuse Saturday noon. Louisville on Monday night. 60 hours between games Duke: UNC Thursday 9 PM...
  12. NC State 2/21

    Helluva game. Kids played hard and did a good job on DSmith. Abu and Kapita were even with Ben and Q on the glass, but check out their guard rebounding.... 23 boards. 6,5,5,4,3. Our guards had 7. We made a crazy comeback in the last two mins and had a good look to win. Sucks to lose...
  13. ACC Discussion

    UVA is in free fall. That's 5 of their last 7 or something like that. Not too long ago they were top 10 nationally. Wow
  14. Syracuse - 2/19

    Most places are loud and people get on players for air balls, etc. I went up to the new littleJohn for the game a couple weeks ago. Great facility and really nice people. They yelled and screamed but it was a good atmosphere and never threatening. Norte Dame gets loud, but also a great...
  15. Why do we stay with Russell Athletic?

    I am not a Twerp fan by any stretch, but I hate that a founding member of the conference ran away in the middle of the night and now we have the outcasts from the Big East instead. I know Cuse & Louisville are good programs but Pitt, VPI, BC and Miami will never fit in. The "new" ACC was...
  16. NC State 2/21

    9-9 teams 2016: Pitt & Syracuse -- both went to NCAA 2015: Syracuse -- ineligible for post-season; self imposed exile 2014: State, Maryland, FSU -- NCSU went NCAA. FSU went NIT. Maryland went wee wee wee all the way home to the B1G 2013: FSU - NIT So, in the four years of 18 game conference...
  17. NC State 2/21

    I was confused by the double negative at first, too. You're right. The original post was saying 9-9 always gets in. Of course, we've only had 18 game schedules for 2 or 3 years, so it won't be hard to research
  18. Why do we stay with Russell Athletic?

    I honestly hope we never wear UA. I'm an old school ACC guy and the Maryland defection was led, engineered and funded by the Twerp alum that founded UA. I can't stand giving him a nickel. Let him sign all the B1G schools, but no ACC. I know that will never happen, but I hate seeing...
  19. Ben Lammers

    Moving screens are becoming as hard to call as block/charge. With all the screen /roll and dribble hand-off action, there are a ton of screens out in the open in today's game. The screener is almost never completely set and usually leans or throws a hip to slow the defender down if they try...

    Pat Forde is a nozzle. Outside of blatantly rooting for Kentucky and occasionally UNC, he goes out of his way to post smarmy holier-than-thou crap like that. Pond scum is a higher order of life
