i can't stand the sound bytes that seem to be thrown in at random, like "DO IT" "WOOHOO" and "SHOW ME THE MONEYYYY"

1/8/2007 6:54:51 PM

atleast they don't have that mean gene video up there at the beginning of the game like they did last year

1/8/2007 7:04:58 PM

they should bring back MexiCam.....or was that C-F?

1/8/2007 7:05:49 PM

haha. that was CF. I wish we could get rid of mean gene for football too.

Its only played after wins, and its meant to say "Hey, you got beat by a bunch of farmers!"....probably goes back to when a much larger part of the student body were in the agriculture field.

I have to agree with WITH...I hate that...its so ten years ago. At least they got rid of the steak (my friend used to yell "Turn the steak off!" all through that thing). Caterpillar has to go too. Maybe the crowd just needs to keep the "WOLF...PACK" chant going through all these damn commercials?

Oh, and get rid of people proposing during TV timeouts...thats so fucking unoriginal.

1/8/2007 7:26:36 PM

BITCH BITCH BITCH

it could be much worse

1/8/2007 7:28:49 PM

Well for the time being, they are running out of coaches heads to call for, Sports Talk might capitulate without something to bitch about. I guess we could somehow move on to 'Uncle Jed' Fowler, but right now he's not doing much....

thats more just leftover from hockey.. they don't do it that often at basketball games.. i think?

1/8/2007 7:57:33 PM

I've never heard those sound bytes at a basketball game, and I've been to all of them....but looping clips of people dancing in movies sometimes gets old. Some are funny but most are just retarded.

1/8/2007 8:06:09 PM

also more for hockey


a lot of the shit they use is just when they get bored of having just the logo up there

[Edited on January 8, 2007 at 8:13 PM. Reason : by the way: if they don't do any of this, what DO they do?]

1/8/2007 8:13:03 PM

Yeah you're right most of this stuff is minor at best, and easy to put up with considering we're going for the basketball. I guess you can get tired of pretty much anything after seeing it every single game for two years now, but aside from the commercials I wouldn't change much.

1/8/2007 8:18:03 PM

so they got rid of the BEEP BEEP for the cat scholar ahtlete..thx for that

they only did WITH once

they didnt do promiscuous girl

didn't show the nuclear engineer dude


still a problem with blaring ads at the wrong times. overall though, nice improvement.

1/15/2007 1:31:44 PM

haha, the nuclear engineering guy was the nc state ad on tv during the wake game

now we have to see him when we play away too

1/15/2007 2:02:55 PM

^^they def did promiscuous girl its one of my favorite parts i know they did it.

1/15/2007 2:12:06 PM

i miss any sort of loud intro song they used to do

basically the 2 years when they did pod and rage

1/15/2007 5:33:38 PM

CAN I GET SOME FUCKING STATS PLEASE? ITS NOT LIKE THIS WAS A BIG GAME OR ANYTHING.

so what you're trying to tell us is you like dudes right?

1/20/2007 6:31:19 PM

It was fucking ridiculous that they did not put up any player stats the entire game, especially with all of the fouling going on throughout the game.

1/20/2007 8:16:12 PM

yeah i would always look up at the jumbotron hoping for stats...and all i saw was the spinning logo.


gg av guys, u guys are STELLAR!

1/20/2007 9:10:56 PM

My friend theorized that they had something loaded for the Canes game tonight and didnt want to mess with it...I cant imagine it would take 3 hours to change it over, but theyve done even dumber things before.

I think weve also vowed to start the "Turn the tractor off!" screaming from now on....hey, it worked for the fucking steak.

1/20/2007 9:15:02 PM

eh it was just one game..

either someone wasn't here that usually does it or there was a problem with it

because even the stats for individual players didn't show up, so the whole program wasn't running

other schools used to play it to mock nc state's agricultural reputation. the state band thought it was funny so they started playing it after wins. And as ENDContra said, it was meant to say "Hey, you got beat by a bunch of farmers!"

1/21/2007 4:12:07 PM

again, no friggin stats. wtf mate.

oh and once again, thanks for killing our wolf-pack chant with your stupid ads. that was awesome, i'm sure the team appreciates it too.

1/24/2007 11:35:08 PM

yes what the fuck is up with the stats. this bugs the shit out of me.

1/25/2007 12:15:23 AM

i especially liked the Cat bulldozer noise during the under-4 minute slow clap fight song

1/25/2007 12:18:12 AM

Yeah they always blast that damn bulldozer at the worst times, and having no player stats two games in a row is ridiculous.

1/25/2007 12:20:58 AM

^^ fire oblinger, i could do better. The under-4 minute slow clap fight song is the best part of the game

1/25/2007 12:55:18 AM

exciting halftime show

1/25/2007 12:56:32 AM

that was fucking annoying. I want the kids out there playing basketball during halftime. I can't remember which game it was but that one team was badass.

1/25/2007 12:58:19 AM

1/25/2007 1:11:35 AM

i understand they need the advertising $


but cut it the fuck out

1/25/2007 1:11:55 AM

Our boys DEFINITELY need to get back to the fundamentals of basketball:

1) Crash the fucking boards for Christ's sake! Every time the ball bounces off the backboard or the rim, our whole team just looks like "Gosh I wonder who's gonna grab that?"
2.) On that note, can we play defense at all? Maybe? Please? Just for a half of a half? If the defense isn't working against a perimeter team, let's change up the strategy! How many 3s does a team have to drop before we realize that we gotta guard the goddamn perimeter?
3.) Gavin Grant needs to take a lil vacation. He's been sucking ass lately with massive turnovers. Either that or Lowe needs to put some double sided tape on Gavin's hands so maybe he can hold on to the ball. Butter fingers... But then again, he's a ball hog so that might not be a good idea either.
4.) Our crowd lacks enthusiam. We're too easily taken out of the game. Granted it's hard to stay optmistic and keep cheering when we keep losing to crappy teams but creating a hostile environment really does rattle the opposing team.
5.) If you are going to play college level basketball you cannot be scared to shot the damn ball!
6.) Brandon Costner needs to take a dribbling clinic ASAP or else just post up and go straight to the basket. The VA game was the first game I've seen where he hasn't gotten called for traveling at least 5 times. He's a clumsy one.
7.) Where the hell are they getting these officials? I've been to every home game this year except the Duke game and they have all been the worst officiated games I've ever seen. Not to excuse the fact that the actions of our team is the main reason we lose but damn... A loss is a loss but losing by 3 points looks slightly better than a loss by 15. Get some new officials! And while I'm ranting on that... How many fucking official time outs do you fucking need? For crying out loud... Basketball games shouldn't be as long as football games but with all of the damn time outs it feels like each game lasts 3 hours.
8.) We don't go hard. When we get down by a few we get lazy and quit trying. Go hard or go home!
9.) The dance team does the same dance no matter what song they use. And on that note, can we petition for the band to learn a couple more songs. I don't think I can take that same line up game after game.
10.) We need a fucking playmaker. We don't have a go to guy that we can always count on at crunch time. Everyone's kind of hit and miss. Sometimes it's Atsur, sometimes its Fells, sometimes it's Grant, sometimes it's McCauley. Sometimes we don't have one. 19 points at halftime? And at home? WTF is that?

Hopefully Sidney Lowe will have a little more recruiting power than Herb. The talent is there... Just needs a little more molding. We don't have a chance against UNC if we cannot beat fucking UVA. Despite the pessimism and cynicism, I still love Wolfpack basketball.

1/25/2007 1:20:19 AM

^ i think youre lost bud...though many of your points are valid.

1/25/2007 1:26:48 AM

In response to #7, two words...Ted Valentine. Worst official in the history of college basketball and we've had him doing our games way too much this year

1/25/2007 1:29:00 AM

^ Is he the guy that halted the damn game 8 seconds in, thereby fucking up the momentum because he had a cramp?

1/25/2007 1:58:45 AM

i wonder if his wife knows he's been fucking us every night.

1/25/2007 2:02:23 AM

^LOL. Yeah I think he might be a Down Low brotha though. He must stay on his knees because he definitely likes to blow every game! Cheesy I know

1/25/2007 2:07:09 AM

damn, a girl that's serious about basketball. 8=========8?

1/25/2007 11:28:16 AM

^ Nah hun. I'm a WOMAN who's serious about basketball. I played back in my youth so I know a little something something. I mean, I know it's easy to be a sideline coach but some of that shit is outta control! If you get outplayed and the other team is just more skilled then that's one thing. But mental meltdown and neglecting the fundamentals of basketball that apply to any level is unexcusable. You should never get rattled on the home court. MAN UP and go hard. Stop standing under the basket afraid to stuff that shit! Dunk the ball, draw the foul and make the free throw for crying out loud! If you're afraid to get hit going up, perhaps you should play a non contact sport like tennis

No, that was Les Jones.

"TV Ted" Valentine is the guy who exaggerates every call. Bobby Knight called him the biggest travesty in college basketball.

There are only 8 per game

i'll post it here too in case someone is too lazy

per pete solo


We have been having interface troubles and we thought that we had found the soultion and it didn't work for Virginia. We are working on it now and hope to have it fully functional for Carolina

Any reason for no stats being available on the matrix board in the last two season games?

1/25/2007 4:50:42 PM

cool, thanks for the info

1/25/2007 5:27:59 PM

^^^ it may be gay, but it's so much fun to watch 85% of the student section (both sides of the court) stare at us in open-mouthed stupor. probably because few people actually know what we're saying.

1/26/2007 2:14:34 AM

they fixed your bulldozer, at least for today
and the stats
didn't turn up the commercial volume when we started chanting during timeouts

i'd say they did a good job today.


(i really wanted to hear the goal horn when the clock hit 0 though )
