The NCSU fanbase should file a class action suit against the N&O for ruining Jimmy V's career as a coach, which has led to a nearly 20 year period of subpar basketball.

Didn't this guy read the riveting N&O story on the ESU researcher who named a spider after Stephen Colbert?

C'mon, that's hard news right there.
