Ovies hypes the "NC State Shit"

" Except it's not the coach, the fans or the local media that covers NC State making things irrational. It's the national folks driving the hype machine for a change. It's important to point this out because if the Wolfpack don't live up to that hype, it's highly probable the stories blaming fans for expecting to much out of NC State based on a couple weeks of great play last season have already been written and produced. Pack fans always seem to take the bait and give them what they want -- reaction and web hits"

?Wow, we've only been picked to win the ACC twice, in '74 and '75?

I'm wet just being part of the debate.

10/17/2012 12:46:18 PM

^^ I definitely don't disagree with that. Outside of a handful of games at the end of last season, we haven't proven a whole lot. And while we've got a great recruiting class and great returning players, we still have question marks. I'm loving the hype and am on the edge of my seat for basketball season...but I'm not sure I'm buying us as a top 5 team just yet.

If you objectively look at the college basketball landscape there simply isn't much returning talent relative to usual so it makes sense we are ranked highly.

Unfortunately since Jaybee went to a SEC school that wasn't Kentucky no one will be objective

10/17/2012 1:02:03 PM

Agreed. They have to pick somebody high. We stack up well with other rosters.

10/17/2012 1:12:34 PM

well yeah. but that's very unusual for NC State.

10/17/2012 1:13:37 PM

That isn't objective reasoning.

10/17/2012 1:14:31 PM

looking at the schedule, on November 27th we play AT #5 Michigan on ESPN. Early season litmus test

" Atlanta, GA, USA; North Carolina State Wolfpack forward Richard Howell (1) reacts after scoring against the North Carolina Tar Heels in the second half during the semi-finals of the 2012 ACC Men's Basketball Tournament at Philips Arena. Mandatory Credit: Bob Donnan-US PRESSWIRE ORIG FILE ID: 20120310_rvr_sd2_418.jpg by Nicole Auerbach, USA TODAY Sports Published: 10/17/2012 01:09pm CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Richard Howell can't seem to get to class on time these days. It may not go over well with his professors, but the North Carolina State senior forward has a pretty good excuse. Too many of Howell's classmates are excited about the upcoming college basketball season and want to talk about the high expectations surrounding the Wolfpack. "You can leave 15-20 minutes early, and people are still going to stop you," Howell said at Atlantic Coast Conference media day Wednesday. "That's nothing to complain about it. It's just crazy. You take a dramatic turn and so many people start liking you. "I take the same route to class as I did since freshman year, and I was never thrown off track until the Sweet 16. It's definitely a good problem to have. … One person comes, then the next person comes, then I'm late to class." N.C. State was picked by ACC coaches to finish first in the conference this season, and coaches also picked the Wolfpack to sweep the individual awards -- C.J. Leslie as the ACC player of the year and Rodney Purvis as the ACC freshman of the year. That's high praise in this conference. Since 2003, Duke or North Carolina has won at least a share of every ACC regular season championship. But both teams saw key players exhaust their eligibility or leave in the NBA draft in the offseason. N.C. State returns four starters from last season's 24-13 team that made a surprising run to the NCAA tournament's Sweet 16. Howell said that when he gets stopped on the way to class, his fellow classmates don't waste time. They "skip talking about the ACC championship and go straight to talking about the NCAA championship," he said. No matter what the subject matter, it's making him tardy. "I have class at 11:40, and the latest I've been was probably 11:53," the 6-8 Howell said with a laugh. "It's not that bad, but when you're probably the biggest person walking into class and you're last, everyone turns to look." Copyright 2012 USATODAY.com"

i know i'm getting ahead of myself, but i just refuse to believe that michigan will be a better team than us this year.

we're winning that fucking game.

10/17/2012 2:10:43 PM

I will be very surprised if we do. I think its our toughest game on the schedule. Good team, well coached, hostile crowd, early in the season, etc..

On a neutral court or at home I'd feel different.

10/17/2012 2:13:05 PM

that poster would have been better with these wolf eyes.

10/17/2012 2:16:42 PM

ACC media sez pack #1

10/17/2012 4:45:18 PM

^ and Brown and CJL on 1st team. CJL POY and Purvis ROY.

Damn this feels weird...in our last football game we beat the #3 team in country on 4th down conversion with less than :20. But all I can think about is basketball season now that the polls and preseason hoopla is coming out.

good. now i can use the excuse "wait til basketball season"

10/17/2012 6:36:36 PM

all pack fans at work refuse to discuss this basketball nonsense.

10/17/2012 7:27:07 PM

This hype is basically dividing the fan base into either those who are embracing it or those who don't want to talk about it because we haven't been predicted to be this good in a long time.

10/17/2012 7:32:47 PM

Count me as one who is (cautiously) embracing the hype. Nothing I do will have an effect on the preseason projections...so, fuck it. Preseason ACC Champs! Hang the damn banner.
