AndyMac makes joke at idiot author's expense, Bullet piles on, AndyMac thinks Bullet didn't get his joke and clarifies, Bullet reinforces the fact that he did get the joke, Forte proves his worthlessness, Amac tops page, Slave Famous sums up

20 magical memories from 2011-12

Quote :

"MARK GOTTFRIED REVIVES NC STATE He made changes to the schedule to make it much tougher. That helped raise the profile, and that got the Wolfpack into the NCAA tournament. NC State made the Sweet 16, and the future is bright with a super recruiting class led by Rodney Purvis."

Our basketball team being saluted by the entire country ... possible preseason top 10 ranking next year

Our baseball team ranked in the top 10 nationally with a freshman ace pitcher

Our football team coming off two bowl wins and returning a possible all-ACC first team QB. Oh, and 5-0

Good times in Wolfpack land. Good times.

Video of TDT workout where he straight up destroys midgets carrying big pads, trying to hold him back with titanium rope, and draining buckets like Melo against the Bulls:

Can he get significant minutes next year? With Painter, Harris, Warren, and hopefully Leslie, bit of a logjam at the 4.

4/10/2012 10:52:09 AM

TDT definitely has skill to go with his toughness ... It just didn't come together on the court last year. I think he improves greatly this offseason but still doesn't see significant minutes til his junior year

4/10/2012 11:02:27 AM

lol isn't he supposed to be in school right now?

"With Painter, Harris, Warren, and hopefully Leslie, bit of a logjam at the 4."

I think so. It might only be 8-10 minutes a game...but the minutes were there for him last year, he just wasn't ready. We only went 7 deep last year. I think every coach would love to be 10 deep if possible. That might mean guys 9/10 won't get minutes some games, but could get minutes in other games where a couple guys are in really bad foul trouble or are sick/injured.

We went 7 deep last year and have Johnson and CJ Williams leaving. Two guards who's minutes will be replaced by Purvis and Lewis.

So we'll have Warren/TDT/Harris/Vandy/Painter looking to spell the 4/5 spots. Painter and Vandy will spell the 5 with TDT possibly getting minutes there as well. TDT could also get some minutes at the 4 with Warren and MAYBE a little Harris (I think Harris is more suited for the SF).

It'll be an even bigger logjam there if we get Jefferson and Leslie comes back. He'll be needed a lot more if neither of those happen.

I hope he gets some burn next year to give him some confidence to stick around. Because we'll need him big time the year after when Painter/Howell/definitely CJL this time leave.

Gotcha. The dance song was pretty horrible though.

hate it for the kid, but it is what it is.

I'd never seen that angle of Brown's 80 footer. Our players didn't even react because we were getting beat so bad.

4/12/2012 2:34:34 PM

greatest fucking basketball video evaaar, pumped as shit, when do we play kansas again?

4/12/2012 2:35:31 PM

i thought i read on pp or somewhere that we had a home and home with ku starting next year.

4/12/2012 2:38:25 PM

I can understand wanting to play but you'd think he'd understand he wont be able to make a career out of basketball and would want to get a free degree from a good university like ncsu rather than a d2 school no ones ever heard of

and just the other day I was thinking to myself "if CJL comes back this oculd be the first year in forever that we dont lose anyone prematurely", oh well

4/12/2012 2:39:52 PM

Lots of D2 schools are far superior to NC State academically if thats his goal. FAR superior. But I don't think it is, I think he just wants minutes that he won't get here.

I wouldn't say a lot,since we're talking about basketball. (The Ivy's, etc are of course DI)

4/12/2012 2:51:47 PM

I'm thinking places like Rhodes College or Washington St Louis, if he was really serious about education, which most black 19 year olds aren't.

4/12/2012 2:53:21 PM

True, just nitpicking.

4/12/2012 2:55:25 PM

That was a cool video and all, but ncsuftw1 still makes the best NC State highlight videos.

4/12/2012 5:06:11 PM

this video is pretty awesome, but why no georgetown highlights? It jumps from SDSU to KU.
