Not surprising considering we lost everybody except Engin and Gavin. It should be motivation for Lowe and his team to try and prove some of these voters wrong.

10/22/2006 6:40:13 PM

wow

that's pretty shocking

10/22/2006 6:41:29 PM

Maybe Barnes will come now or bring back herb

wasnt even close either....54 votes between us and 11th

10/22/2006 6:42:53 PM

good

10/22/2006 6:43:13 PM

I think this is crazy.

I won't be surprised at all if we go 8-8 in the ACC.


Our starting lineup is pretty damn solid.

Our bench is weak but sometimes too much depth can cause problems. We just need to really focus on conditioning.

10/22/2006 6:43:48 PM

low expectations = good for the pack

10/22/2006 6:44:56 PM

distant last at that

10/22/2006 6:45:47 PM

NC State RULES!




























































the shitter

10/22/2006 6:46:25 PM

lowe expectations

10/22/2006 6:46:53 PM

this is good, that way if we finish anything higher than last people won't bitch. I thought football was predicted to win 3 games and we are at that mark now...now people are getting angry?

10/22/2006 7:01:03 PM

LAST PLACE IS BETTER THAN HERB PLACE

10/22/2006 7:42:05 PM

Not surprising and don't mind at all.

10/22/2006 7:45:25 PM

all the haters/detractors can go ahead and identify themselves right now.


Atsur (solid veteran)
Fells (breakout potential)
Grant (star potential)
Costner (McDonalds All American)
McCauley (question mark, fundamentally sound)


Ill put that lineup up against most starting lineups in the ACC. Yes, our bench is non-existent but we are really young... we've got a freshman, 2 sophs, 1 jr, 1 sr starting with a blue chip big man on the way.

The basketball program is in good shape for the future. We have plenty of scholarships and playing time available in the near future so recruiting should yield good things.

Dont overlook how much less excrutiating our games will be to watch without Herb here.

10/22/2006 7:54:06 PM

hahahah
no votes above 7th place

and UNC didnt get any votes below 2nd

10/22/2006 7:55:01 PM

we'll just do the Duke and play our starting 5 for 40 minutes

10/22/2006 7:55:22 PM

UNC is going to be nasty this year and most years. Because they have Roy Williams.

We'll have to get used to that.

Duke wont be shit this year.

10/22/2006 7:57:16 PM

12th? Yeah fucking right. The fact that Evtimov isn't on the team automatically makes them a sixth place favorite.

10/22/2006 8:09:37 PM

we'll just do the Duke and play our starting 5 for 40 minutes

10/22/2006 8:13:18 PM

depth is overated. if players are conditioned they can make it through the whole game. the only problem will be foul trouble. george mason made it with 6-7 guys.

10/22/2006 8:21:40 PM

Anyone who wants to say we would be better off having Herb around this year and killing ourselves for the future needs to leave right now and give up their opportunity to attend more games.

10/22/2006 8:27:02 PM

ya this year is like a revolutionary war for state ball. things were better than war but things were bad enough to go to war to better the future. now that we got the british out things are in shambles momentarily but thats jsut the price you pay for revolution. when the new government gets on its feet things will be better than ever.

10/22/2006 8:33:50 PM

say what? bball is like war? Herb is British? what you talkin bout willis?

10/22/2006 9:23:57 PM

gavin grant is a FUCKIN SOLJA

10/22/2006 9:26:34 PM

We shouldn't be that bad once Ferguson is eligible in late December. My early prediction is that we finish in the middle of the conference.

But since we haven't seen the team play at all yet, there's no way to really know. Could be higher or lower.

10/22/2006 9:32:03 PM

Only reason we might make it to 8-8 this year is that the ACC as a whole should suck pretty bad. In a normal ACC, we're definitely bottom of the barrel. Hopefully we can take advantage, unlike the football team this year.

10/22/2006 9:45:28 PM

who is furgey?

10/22/2006 9:53:34 PM

^Pay attention.

Trevor Ferguson.

As a WPC member and someone who goes to EVERY game, I just want to say that most of the people that actually GO to basketball games liked Herb, but most of them will support our team no matter what. So can we get ride of Chuck so we can build on our football future?

10/22/2006 11:09:07 PM

i wonder if this is the year that the Big 10 wins the challenge

10/22/2006 11:12:41 PM

^^chuck IS our football future. herb did nothing but get worse over the course of each season. amato finishes strong and brings stellar athletes into raleigh. It takes ass time to build a football program.

and herbs offense was boring and shutdown completely at times. face it. we didnt even get rid of him he left anyway.

Wow

I don't think he's gonna be that much better this year than last year.

Plus he's gonna have a ton of minutes and scoring opportunities stolen by their 2 freshman bigs.

I'm gonna say McRoberts, because he will be Duke's whole offense.

10/22/2006 11:16:18 PM

i'm gonna say grant because look at how he finished the season and now that herbs leash is gone he can really break free...and he's more important to us that mcroberts to duke.

10/22/2006 11:19:06 PM

You're kidding right?

Mike O'Cain 6-5, 7-5, 6-6.

Chuck Amato 5-6, 7-5, 3-4.

Where in the FUCK are we getting better at football?

10/22/2006 11:27:37 PM

6 losses then 5 losses then 4 losses doesnt = getting better to you?

[Edited on October 22, 2006 at 11:33 PM. Reason : chuck just got his players in here see what haps next year (our year) and then sit down and consider]

not when the season with the 4 losses is only like 2/3 over

10/22/2006 11:35:45 PM

I've been bedridden with a 101 fever the last 2 days and this motherfucker still has triple the amount of posts I do. Jesus christ..

This will be Chucks 3rd year of graduating his players. He's had plenty of time. It's time for some fucking results.

[Edited on October 22, 2006 at 11:37 PM. Reason : shit 7 years not 6..]

10/22/2006 11:36:47 PM

^^^,^^exactly. so stfu till at least the season is over

^NEXT YEAR.
he had unfortunate situation with stone that set him back 2 years (imagine what we wouldve done if stone was really the #2 qb in his class and a dual threat qb.
