i would like it if Gottfried could get us into the Jimmy V Classic every year

i still don't understand why we don't even make an occasional appearance

5/14/2011 6:38:42 PM

^we played once.

we have been really fucking shitty for it's entire existence (save for the 5 NCAA years from herb), so why the hell would ESPN want to put us in the field?

HEY GUYS LETS PUT THE 10th/11th/12th PLACE ACC TEAM GAME IN THIS NATIONALLY TELEVISED MATCHUP EVERY SINGLE YEAR!

5/14/2011 6:50:27 PM

i did not realize that only 4 teams played in the Jimmy V classic

makes way more sense now.

5/14/2011 7:03:13 PM

We absolutely should be in that tournament every year. I mean it's the Jimmy V Classic.

5/14/2011 9:54:45 PM

It should be Johns Hopkins, Bucknell, Iona, and NC State every year.

5/14/2011 10:03:21 PM

5/14/2011 10:27:54 PM

^,^^

I see what you did there, but of course it's not the same.

5/15/2011 12:57:43 AM

I, too, think it should be

"Johns Hopkins, Bucknell, Iona, and NC State every year."

But only because then we would have a chance to win it occasionally.

He earned some cred today.

5/16/2011 6:16:14 PM

^I'd say so...

5/16/2011 6:17:59 PM

Lewis, Purvis, Brown and Graham would be a p. sick backcourt but that seems like a lot of guards for one class when we need to grab us a center

5/16/2011 6:25:33 PM

+another 1 bitches!

5/16/2011 6:50:16 PM

holy shit

5/16/2011 6:51:47 PM

I was a little skeptical about the positive recruiting buzz around our new staff up until now...HUGE get for Gottfried

5/16/2011 7:04:03 PM

+2 credibility points

5/17/2011 8:59:46 AM

I was super excited about the hire from the start, he has done nothing but meet my expectations. I'm all in on Gottfried.

5/17/2011 9:38:43 AM

Huge. Just huge

5/17/2011 10:51:27 AM

No clue what thread this goes in since there is no 2011-2012 basketball season thread (that I could find)
ACC/Big 10 matchups announced:

6 and 6, no bastard stepchild game on Monday Night anymore. Might actually make the primary ESPN broadcast. You have to think Wisconsin/UNC gets top billing, then its between recent success (FSU/MSU) or tradition (Indiana/NCSU) for the other slot, while the rest of the matchups get relegated to Pam Ward status.

5/17/2011 2:42:20 PM

FSU/MSU definitely gets the ESPN game before us

I agree...MSU is a ESPN darling. Definitely will get the game over us.

Not Gottfied's fault or anything but didn't know where else to put this.

I graduated on Saturday and noticed that neither Javi or Tracy are graduating this semester, I did see that Enrico Kufuor is though.

5/18/2011 1:24:08 PM

Holy shit they didn't graduate in 4 years! Did you see the latest APR reports?

5/18/2011 1:31:00 PM

Gonzalez is on track to graduate after the first summer session, last I heard. Tracy was on track to graduate in May, he might have slipped to a summer session or something, though.

Good competition in this...

[Edited on May 18, 2011 at 2:26 PM. Reason : Just noticed this was already posted in the CBB thread. Still, + credibility for the competition]

"The format for the 2011 Legends Classic, which has fast become one of the nation's premier early-season college basketball tournaments, features 12 teams from across the nation competing in the fifth annual event with Texas, Vanderbilt, NC State, and Oregon State hosting regional round games from Nov. 13-17. The four hosts will then advance to the Championship Rounds on Nov. 19 & 21 at IZOD Center, while the remainder of the field will participate in subregionals held at campus sites. "

So if you're one of the host schools, you advance to the Championship rounds no matter whether you win or lose?

Sounds like a raw deal for everyone else.

5/18/2011 2:26:41 PM

Several preseason tournaments do that

You learn something everyday

not sure if that was sarcasm or not, but either way the latest APR reports are from 2009-2010

5/18/2011 2:37:19 PM

host school for the first round game's practice is gonna be all

5/18/2011 2:38:15 PM

Honestly, there is not a single thing that I can find wrong with Gottfrieds work so far. The recruiting, scheduling, charisma, the "my way or the highway" attitude, letting uchebo and the other big man go, its like he embodies everything we fans have wanted.

I guess I wish we could've hung onto Harrow, but even that doesn't bother me knowing his diva attitude

5/18/2011 9:04:22 PM

looks like he's bringing Hodge onto the staff as well



+1 credibility

5/18/2011 9:13:24 PM

+1 For following a fake Roy Williams on twitter.

5/18/2011 9:19:13 PM

I spotted Mark at RDU airport on Tuesday

5/19/2011 4:43:22 AM

^You think he'll be our next coach.

-1 for tweeting about reading crappy books. he should be reading books like "How I Beat Carolina" and "How to Bang coeds and NOT GET CAUGHT"

5/19/2011 9:40:12 PM

he should implement this for the team

5/19/2011 9:47:13 PM

at the end of the season, they could all get personal pan pizzas at Pizza Hut for free, and it wouldn't be a violation

I was too lazy to look for Horner's, but Curry's is the best in my mind anyways.

5/19/2011 10:31:54 PM

supposedly he's too cool to do the wolfpack club caravans for the smaller locations? does anyone know more about this? -0.5

5/19/2011 11:03:30 PM

i dont mind it if he gets more 5* recruits

5/19/2011 11:07:59 PM

^^well, he showed up in the asshole of NC, Lumberton so thats gotta count for something

5/19/2011 11:16:48 PM

going to Lumberton once takes care of all the small town appearances

5/19/2011 11:43:47 PM

"F that. I could be scouting the Canary Islands for more recruits."

I know people will be upset that he didn't make certain appearances, but they have to understand he has a lot of work he needs to focus on to get this team playing again.

New System (although maybe just System because we didn't seem to have one before), new workout regiments, identifying the current players' strength and weaknesses, and maximizing the chances of future success through recruiting.

I'm interested if there will be any noticeable individual improvement by the time the first game rolls around; specifically from the past role players.
