hell yeah, helping reach the goal of one page per win


I predict 28 wins this year, so we're gonna need all the padding in the world

2/25/2009 4:06:05 PM

I like Herb fine. It's just that a lot of this thread seems aimed at those who didn't care for him. But it's whatever.

why is apocalypse being queer?

and 28 wins? so you're expecting them to win out and the Pac-10 tourney?

nope. I could see them losing 2 of their last 4

it's honestly unhealthy.

that's the first step toward your recovery. i'm pullin' for ya

2/25/2009 4:28:20 PM

I just hate the chickenshit way he left. That's all.

2/25/2009 4:29:18 PM

it was for his daughters' safety

as a father, I can say I totally understand why he did what he did

2/25/2009 4:32:29 PM

i just hate the way the national media portrayed nc state fans (and currently portray us) when it all went down. I personally don't think it's wrong for fans to want more and desire to be a perennial power, especially when they were that at one point in history. It's like State gets looked down on because we are not where UNC and Duke are, and it is assumed we should just be content with where we are and not hope to be better

2/25/2009 4:37:24 PM

^^ His daughters' saftety? Wtf are you talking about?

And I hate how the media won't let it die and the story goes that we ran him out of town. He left on his own accord. He couldn't take the heat that was Tobacco Road so he got the fuck out of the kitchen. Good for him. He seems a lot happier. He's moved on without us and we're attempting to move on without him. Why can't the media do the same? I mean it's been 3 fucking years afterall. And we all know once Harden leaves, Arizona State is just going to go back to being NC State redux. The only difference is the ASU fans will be thrilled to death about it. Good for them.

I don't know about his "daughter's safety"...but everybody knows his kids were getting harassed like crazy at school. He's lucky they were girls...I bet if he had boys they would have been getting beat up.

That shit always pissed me off.

2/25/2009 10:43:49 PM

honestly, i find it hard to believe that there were enough state fans in elementary school to make it as bad as people say, but whatever.

Yeah he should have stuck around and got bad mouthed constantly on here and have his little girls torched in school. He could never please some of the unrealistic fans we have.

Quote :

I wouldn't go that far. He has been recruiting well out there and will continue to win.

Oh and that NCSU redux looks pretty good from my viewpoint.

2/25/2009 10:50:03 PM

so...about tomorrow night's game:

UW got ~55 points come from their backcourt last time the two teams played. ASU shut down Jon Brockman fairly well. Harden only had 14.

the key to this game is to keep Pendergraph out of foul trouble and to get James going early. do those two things, and ASU will have the outright lead in the conference

It was pretty well documented.

Think about this...

1) Kids are fucking mean in elementary school. Shit...I was evil in elementary school. I hate some of the shit I said back in the day making fun of people.

2) Think of all the angry State fan dads who hated Herb Sendek as our coach...just going on and on at home about how much he sucked and how shitty a coach he was.

3) Now think about the kids of those dads going to school and repeating what their parents say and tormenting Sendek's kids.

First...when you think about, it seems pretty logical. Second, it only takes one or two kids to make it really bad.

Find one post where I boo Sid, talk shit, or bash his daughter.

Or better yet, find one where I say Sid should be fired.

Sorry for being objective. It's not like I approved of everything Herb did too ya know.

2/26/2009 12:10:25 AM

I have heard people are mean to Sidney's son. In prison.

I haven't checked packpride, but I guess the comments to the article will go something like this:

- PAC 10 sucks
- He hired Harden's coach! OMFG unethical!!!1
- He sucks, he won't win anything signicant (berate PAC 10 some more)
- He'll lose in the first round of the NCAA tournament
- Wait till next year when Harden leaves
- Wait till Sid gets his players
- Point Guard
- PG

That post says that Lee Fowler should be fired....nothing about Lowe getting canned.

If you don't think he needs to do better then you have problems. I didn't say he needs to be canned, he needs to improve. I have repeatedly posted that he has got next year with me and if things still suck, then I will probably be on his case a little bit.

2/26/2009 11:54:39 AM

ROFL. I knew I couldn't be the only one to notice that shit from you.

Somehow we were supposed to infer from you quoting this:

Quote :

"Lowe must be fired. He is a nice guy and an alumnus, but he cannot coach college basketball. I really wish that he would start looking for another NBA job to save everyone heartache."

and following up with this:

Quote :

"I am glad some people are starting to see what is really going on here. I love Sidney and what he's done for this school, but things are not going to get better. I have said this since almost the beginning. I hate I was right about his ability to coach."

That you didn't want Sidney fired, but instead that we should give him another year? I'm calling bullshit. Just admit it dude, you hated that Herb was run out of town and now you don't like Sidney. That's an ok position to take, but to rail on people that didn't like Herb for many of the same reasons you don't like Lowe (namely, results) is bullshit and hypocritical.

all you've done in sports talk this entire season is bitch bitch bitch about this team and lowe all year.

Yes, they're not very good.

but I see improvement, so I'm not going to shit on Sidney or this team like it's my job.

there's no point in even thinking about firing him anytime soon. Remember, NO ONE wanted this job except Sidney.

2/26/2009 12:13:52 PM

make a new thread

or keep it in the credibility thread

or the Fowler thread

2/26/2009 12:14:42 PM

nah.

2/26/2009 12:17:10 PM

well in that case, I'm gonna need some rapid fire posting

Bitching and talking about the games are not the same thing. There has been nothing to bitch about lately.

I mean he started using the lineup most of us wanted and we started winning.

I said he should be fired after one game when we blew it like usual....I believe it was the FSU game. Sorry jocristian that I said it out of anger. You need to go back through the credibility thread and read my posts son. I have repeatedly said he gets next year from me and I have never seriously said he needs to be fired. I am not looking up posts for you but there are plenty.

You're admitting your problem

That you prematurely called for his firing because you were temporarily very upset about one particular game

You get way the fuck too low after a loss and you don't even get way too high after a win...get some frickin balance and have some patience
