same shit same day

4/5/2006 11:29:21 PM

"confirmed" unofficial talks of $1.9-$2.5 million

"sometimes silence says a lot"

4/5/2006 11:29:23 PM

silence says alot

4/5/2006 11:29:29 PM

wow, that said nothing really

4/5/2006 11:29:55 PM

doesn't this ridiculous amount of money mean that NCSU tuition will rise because of it?

4/5/2006 11:29:58 PM

no NC has a limit (i think) on money then money comes from clubs, shoes, and radio & tv

4/5/2006 11:30:36 PM

the bball program already makes loads of money

4/5/2006 11:30:45 PM

we are one of the countries most profitable men's basketball programs


god damn i'm getting so excited this could be such a big deal for our school

4/5/2006 11:31:10 PM

Calm down fellas when is the last time something good for NC State actually happened....2003 gator bowl????????


Thats a long fucking time.

4/5/2006 11:33:00 PM

if we do get him, there's gotta be some rb pep rally or welcome ceremony right?

otherwise, i would hope he would make an appearance at the spring football game.

peeps will go nuts.

4/5/2006 11:33:06 PM

4/5/2006 11:34:33 PM

We're due!

4/5/2006 11:35:40 PM

That is a ton of dough. But honestly, compared to the amount of money we put into facilities, an extra million in salary doens't seem so big.

4/5/2006 11:36:03 PM

^^ Yeah, and if we actually bring in Barnes, donations will go up substantially and every game will be sold out.

4/5/2006 11:37:15 PM

^true

4/5/2006 11:38:05 PM

where's that list of the most profitable basketball programs in the ncaa?

4/5/2006 11:38:21 PM

about 10-15 pages back.

4/5/2006 11:42:16 PM

Did I mention that I'll shit my pants if we land Barnes?


After everything thats been said/done/whatever, this would be ridiculous. He's not my number one guy, but he's at the best program of our top 3 coaches...well Calipari, Wright, and Barnes...even though W and C probably arent really on a list.

This would speak volumes for NC State, but I'm not getting my hopes up. Anyone who says we're a second rate program if this happens can suck my dick....jim rome.

4/5/2006 11:42:37 PM

you'd like someone to suck your dick wouldn't you wolfgaygaypack

4/5/2006 11:44:47 PM

We make $9 million in profit a year, that leaves plenty of room to pay Barnes $2 million a year

4/5/2006 11:46:15 PM

jesus, do you and 409 carpet cleaner fuck each other in the ass? You're the only people on here that troll me. Go fuck yourself.

4/5/2006 11:46:36 PM

with all the hype around this now, especially on PP, at least 85% of the fanbase will go absolutely apeshit(that's bad meanin bad not bad meanin good) if we get anything less than Barnes.

4/5/2006 11:47:14 PM

^^well you must admit you are a fag, and you do deserve it, sorry

4/5/2006 11:51:38 PM

Don't you have some anime porn to jerk off to?

Dont come to sports talk every 20 days or so then act like you own the place, and yeah, you can suck my dick.

4/5/2006 11:52:48 PM

back to the topic at hand.....but has Brady from LSU been mentioned at all???

ESPN seems to think he might not be there

4/5/2006 11:54:13 PM

as I said before, you would enjoy a male sucking your dick and you just admitted it

4/5/2006 11:55:47 PM

this thread grows so fast i always expect there to be some exciting news...imagine once we get some valid information

4/5/2006 11:58:23 PM

it grows so fast because there is a whole lot of shit talking going on in here.

i think its cause people are so frustrated at the situation.

4/5/2006 11:59:17 PM

i think by posting stuff like this really just makes things worse

4/6/2006 12:00:30 AM

The Rick Barnes thread on PP now has over 180,000 views.

4/6/2006 12:00:43 AM

link??? to the pp thread i want to read it

4/6/2006 12:01:42 AM

speaking of the red/white game, Torry Holt and Deion Sanders will be there

4/6/2006 12:02:09 AM

4/6/2006 12:02:28 AM

didn't realize that both of those guys were born yesterday, my bad

4/6/2006 12:11:55 AM

4/6/2006 12:12:36 AM

anyway, texas's top 3 players leaving is potentially great news for our situation with ole Rick.

"I remember Clemson coming to raleigh and pulling out a close win one day in reynolds over Les and company. Post game, Rick was standing there with Terryle McIntire (sp) - at least I think that was their weapon dejour that year - the two of them were standing courtside waiting for the post-game TV interview. Most of the crowd was shuffling out, heads down, but there was a section of students in the sectoin in front of Rick and his player - and the students were really giving them the business. It had been a rough game. They were screaming at barnes, calling him dirty, giving gestures, the works. Even McIntire had a gleem of something between disbelief and fear in his eye as he stood there taking all this. But Barnes was standing there with his arm firmly around his boy holding him pretty tight - and he was just loving every second of it. He was smiling from ear to ear staring right at the students and listening intently to every word they screamed. He waved to them a couple of times while grinning. I tend to read too much into things but it seemed very clear to me that his enjoyment was 2-fold - one was the gratification of coming into reynolds and sticking it to us, but the other was his clear enjoyment/admiration for the passion of those students sitting there berating him as hard as they possibly could. For that moment the student section hated rick barnes to the core and he loved that he made it that way, but he also loved their passion."

Ok, I am taking the risk of n00bing all over myself, but what is "PP"?
