12/12/2011 11:17:14 AM

12/12/2011 11:20:14 AM

Too many basketball memories I've tried to suppress

12/12/2011 11:21:45 AM

[Edited on December 12, 2011 at 11:22 AM. Reason : (obv. not front line, but still deserves to be mentioned).]

12/12/2011 5:22:52 PM

I was at that Duke game in 2004.

EDIT: Apparently I'm getting so old I'm mixing my years up. The FSU game happened in 2002, which was my freshman year.

"MOD spotting Oh man that Duke game And walking out of the RBC to snow and cancelled classes RIP Herb"

Definitely one of my favorite memories!! Freshmen year, Wolfpack victory, snow outside the RBC Center, toilet paper on Central Campus, and classes cancelled. NICE!

12/12/2011 5:58:24 PM

Yes I remember MOD trying to breathe in the middle of that crowd (he was so short aww) and Marcus Melvin jumping up on the scorers table and ripping his jersey off.

Good times, good times.

12/12/2011 6:22:41 PM

ncsu's all time 'vs #1' record > sidney lowe's road acc record

12/12/2011 6:26:41 PM

40% of the wins over #1 teams happened under Herb

(added to Herb spank bank)

12/12/2011 7:08:51 PM

12/12/2011 7:26:23 PM

12/12/2011 8:44:56 PM

haha, speaking of the duke game, i have still in my possession the #1 STUNNER Technician, that had Marcus Melvin front page amid the sea of students who rushed the courts. thinking of having it framed for the memory bank...


we camped out to get the tickets, and somehow, ended up with courtside seats around half court. i remember some lady getting mad when we kept up the "gay jay" (JJ) cheer for reddick (it was valentines day weekend if i recall correctly, because there were plenty of valentines tributes to coach K and Reddick...

oh the memories...

What a great year to be a freshman. We honestly shouldn't have lost that Wisconsin game either.

12/12/2011 8:48:48 PM

1996 through 2006 were a great time to be a student

12/12/2011 8:50:19 PM

^^Up by about 10 at the half, IIRC.

12/12/2011 8:58:52 PM

12/12/2011 9:07:36 PM

12/12/2011 9:09:28 PM

don't think it's been mentioned in here yet...game is sold out!

12/12/2011 10:07:31 PM

I have enjoyed the reminiscings in this thread. leaving the Duke game in 2004 in the snow kicked ass!

12/12/2011 10:26:29 PM

so this is the 3rd 1 we've played in the rbc and the first not named Duke? wow, huge.

I remember that 02 game, fucking boozer and dunleavy destroyed us. i remember boozer hounding our sendek super high post (half court) big man yelling "BALL BALL BALL BALL BALL"


edit: lol perfect picture to illustrate
