Pretty sure Arizona is relevant. We play them on the 19th.

11/30/2010 6:26:30 PM

you're right I forgot- it'll be interesting to see how wisconsin/syracuse/arizona look in a couple months

Wisconsin has to be the most boring team to watch in any major conference.

That said, we're gonna get our asses kicked by them.

11/30/2010 6:49:11 PM

we got this

11/30/2010 7:05:21 PM

^^
At least it isn't Northwestern and their painful version of the Princeton offense.

Has Iowa abandoned their slowdown ugly-ball or is it just because they are playing Wake. Bzzzzzzzzz....

11/30/2010 7:11:05 PM

....they're on pace to score 110 against GT

11/30/2010 7:52:07 PM

Wrong thread...

Glorious start to the ACC-Big 10 Challenge. Has the Big 10 climbed up or has the ACC gone down?

12/1/2010 12:31:19 AM

Big 10 seems about average, maybe a little above average

ACC is way down. 1 ranked team when there's usually 4 or 5 this time of year.

GAME DAY

A convincing win on national TV would help the sting of Maryland go away.

12/1/2010 8:03:01 AM

^ My suggestion is to watch the Duke game then...

12/1/2010 8:27:42 AM

I had a pretty horrifying nightmare about this game

As long as none of our players melt into puddles of goo I will call it a win

12/1/2010 9:06:49 AM

They're 4-2. We're 4-1.

We got this.

(What exactly is their home record?)

12/1/2010 9:11:20 AM

2-0

12/1/2010 9:16:28 AM

I meant total home record at the Kohl Center.

nm, I looked it up, 155-16

[Edited on December 1, 2010 at 9:28 AM. Reason : 153+2]

12/1/2010 9:24:57 AM

4-2.

I hate trying to make predictions for NC State teams because we're always wildly unpredictable. Who knows, maybe Lorenzo will keep doing what he's doing, CJL busts out for the first time this season, and Scott Wood lights it up from beyond the arc. Or maybe Lorenzo has an off night, CJL throws up more shots over the backboard, Scott gets in to foul trouble, Vandenberg scores in our own basket, and Javi gets angry and gets thrown out of the game. Who knows.

It's just nice knowing that we have the talent there, and that all it will take is a few guys stepping up to put Wisconsin away by a couple of points. Last year, I would be thinking damage control at this point, and hoping that the loss was by less than 15.

12/1/2010 12:07:08 PM

I can't even describe how funny it would be if the Big Dandy Vandy grabbed a defensive rebound and immediately put back a monster slam. I'd still be laughing when we played Arizona.

12/1/2010 12:32:20 PM

Shame that Tracy is hurt. I think that hurts us against this kind of team especially. We need this win bad but I just dont see it in Kohl..

12/1/2010 1:28:28 PM

kohl center is overrated. we shall victor.

The funniest part of this scenario is that for some reason I can actually envision it with how spastic he is.

If somehow we can manage to be patient on offense, we have a good chance.

12/1/2010 1:38:23 PM

Wisconsin Short Tailed Badgers: 62
NC State Ultimate Shredding Wolf Battalion: 70

agreed. if he returns at even 80% of full capacity, we look like a completely different team

12/1/2010 2:07:49 PM

ESPN Classic has had a NC State marathon all day, right now is NC State vs. Virginia in the West Regional Final, and the 83 championship game is next.

go watch

12/1/2010 4:16:33 PM

12/1/2010 4:33:01 PM

I've probably seen a dozen replays of the 83 championship game, but not until just now have I heard Billy Packer say State is running a Chinese defense

12/1/2010 5:10:30 PM

That's the first I've ever heard it too. Maybe I just didn't pay as much attention as I thought I did.

12/1/2010 5:12:35 PM

12/1/2010 5:27:55 PM

I wonder which player on our currently pending Cinderella team will be leading the Pack in 2037

Assuming, of course, that Sidney Loweterno is no longer around

12/1/2010 5:55:39 PM

they will still show clips of that game until the day we all die. remember that time we were relevant in sports

12/1/2010 6:00:39 PM

^^I dunno, but Gavin Grant and Farnold Degand will still be in prison.

Jimmy V speech about to play on all ESPN channels...

12/1/2010 7:02:46 PM

alright, about time to see if i can get espn3 to be watchable in linux.

12/1/2010 7:08:18 PM

Jimmy V

12/1/2010 7:11:16 PM

I'm always amazed at the charisma he exudes in this speech, so close to death.

12/1/2010 7:11:58 PM

so who is this guy talking?

12/1/2010 7:13:05 PM

Dude was one charismatic mo'fo. Google up the video of him on David Lettermen after the national championship win. He about took over the show.

my roommate walked in (not a sports fan really in much of any capacity) and said "who's this faggot?"

i about lost it

12/1/2010 7:14:38 PM

no matter how many times i watch that speech, it always moves me

12/1/2010 7:14:43 PM

lets win this one for jimmy v

12/1/2010 7:14:46 PM

Gannon, Sid and.......i dont know who the other guy is(Whittenburg?) in Reynolds talking after the Speech. NICE!

12/1/2010 7:15:02 PM

Now we've gotta win this one.

12/1/2010 7:16:52 PM

so glad I tuned in early for the game. Its been too long since I heard that speech by Jimmy V.

Lets get a win for his memory

12/1/2010 7:16:57 PM

LOL, I caught a glimpse of red hair and immediately thought...wtf is Fergie doing on the court

12/1/2010 7:17:39 PM

LOL at Bo's slackjaw

12/1/2010 7:18:03 PM

I hope their coach makes that face the whole game.

12/1/2010 7:18:04 PM

Better be a Bo Ryan gif incoming
