Seriously? I assume he'll be strapped to an experience sky-diver?

9/12/2011 2:29:28 PM

he's going to be strapped to the same guy that jumped with George H. W. Bush on his 80th birthday

9/12/2011 2:30:41 PM

this is sure to help us land purvis

9/12/2011 2:40:37 PM

9/12/2011 2:42:16 PM

this motherfucker is RTing everyone on twitter tonight

it's really getting out of control

9/12/2011 10:53:41 PM

I dunno about this Gottfried skydiving thing. Smells like Chuck riding into Reynolds on a motorcycle to me. And we all know how that turned out.

9/12/2011 10:54:31 PM

^^ beat me to it

he is a little too proud of himself

9/12/2011 10:55:03 PM

I do like that he retweeted the guy who said "@Mark_Gottfried balls so big he has to enter CF from above #wolfblood"

9/12/2011 10:57:22 PM

Hahaha. It was cool/fun at first...but it's definitely out of control. I did lol at him RTing someone who said "#roywouldntdothat".

^Seriously, dude's a loose cannon with his twitter account. He's pretty entertaining at times...but borders on annoying and crossing the line at times.

Lowe never jumped out of an airplane so even if he sucks he's already better in my book.

9/12/2011 11:59:28 PM

Well if we can't make headlines by winning games.... maybe we can do some really cool shit and get the headlines that way.....

9/13/2011 9:56:43 AM

actually i was thinking that this is what will get the BOT and the BOG's blood boiling. Positive NC STATE attention. If he starts winning, well, that will require some investigations.

9/13/2011 10:15:34 AM

ok, Mark, it's time for you to stop patting yourself on that back. we get it.

9/14/2011 2:30:11 PM

With our luck, the best possible outcome of this jump was that he got cancer

9/14/2011 2:36:18 PM

Kornheiser preparing to talk scornfully about Gottfried's jump on PTI

9/14/2011 5:47:45 PM

kornheiser called it "insane"
bob ryan called it "corso-like"

9/14/2011 5:54:46 PM

I'm guessing Gottfried's point was to get the media and general basketball fans to start talking about us

Looks like its working

9/14/2011 5:56:45 PM

I don't care if Kornheiser does not like it. The fact that NC State is even being mentioned on PTI means this was a good idea. gg to Gottfriied

9/14/2011 5:57:39 PM

oh gawd. Goodnight, sweet prince prediction thread coming up.

9/14/2011 8:32:32 PM

I'm fine with this. Sure, it's a somewhat shameless publicity stunt, and I'd probably mock if it was any other school, but we could use some non-negative publicity with the new regime's season around the corner. And lots of talented recruits are publicly considering us. I'm just hoping MG&crew's enthusiasm shows up on the court and the team has a decent season. Maybe finish in the top half? No give-ups or ugly blowouts? Make the tournament?


Any other examples of coaches pulling similar stunts? Has MG skydove before?

^ i thought that was Bruce Willis

9/15/2011 9:21:05 AM

^wrong Bruce

9/15/2011 9:33:18 AM

i thought he was jumping pregame with the game ball, but a WRAL article says it'll be at halftime...

it's almost gonna be dark around 7:45 or so

9/16/2011 10:45:26 AM

insane? please. sky diving ain't no thang.

9/16/2011 10:55:42 AM

So he's apparently afraid of heights

Quote :

"Gottfried's not letting fear of heights impede his jump Ken Medlin: NC State basketball coach Mark Gottfried is set to make quite the entrance at the Wolfpack’s football game Saturday. Gottfried is parachuting into Carter-Finley Stadium at halftime of the game as part of State’s Military Appreciation Day. “I’ve been three times to visit our troops in the Middle East, two times in Kuwait, one time just north of Baghdad,” Gottfried said Thursday. “I’ve got a great respect for the men and women in the military, so because of that it was kind of an easy decision to decide to do it.” Gottfried will be tandem jumping with Sergeant First Class Mike Elliott. Elliott has logged more than 9000 jumps, including tandem jumps with Karl Malone, Tony Stewart, and former president George HW Bush. Elliott took Gottfried through a training session Thursday as he prepares for his jump this weekend. “He was really calm, very very relaxed,” said Elliott. “I didn’t see a nervous bone in his body, but that’s going to change when he gets into the airplane. He seems to be taking everything in, I think he’s fired up and ready for the chute.” The jump is a far cry from anything Gottfried has done before. “I’m afraid of heights, my kids make fun of me because I’m the guy that doesn’t like to get up real high, so this will be interesting,” Gottfried admitted. Former NC State football coach Monte Kiffin once jumped out of a helicopter onto Doak Field, but it wasn’t nearly as far as Gottfried will jump from. If weather permits the jump, it will be shown live on WRALSportsFan.com"

9/16/2011 12:37:22 PM

Gottfried isn't making the jump, ceiling is too low for a tandem jump
