The only empty sections were the upper endzones, which IIRC are student seats. The crowd should be louder as a whole once ACC play starts. Looked every bit of the 15,000+ from what I saw.

12/19/2012 2:18:12 AM

Replay now on ESPN3.com. Definitely had fun at the game. Good job Pack!!

Um. You do know what color toast is, right?

12/19/2012 6:29:14 AM

It depends on the type of bread you use, and how long ou toast it. I am thinking a very lightly toasted piece of wonder bread

If your toast is white its really just warm bread

"fanbase gets an F for attendance tonight"

I didn't think that. Season ticket holders showed up and what was normally the student wall was bought up by regular folks. If the students are in session that probably is a 17-18k crowd.

As it was I'd be surprised if there weren't 14k butts in seats. Also, The Deck was PACKED pre-game. Can't wait for some Arena Club action once ACC play starts. Fuck waiting in a 20-person line!

Good win last night for State despite the complaining by skoal can and E-bitch. Yes our defensive efficiency is not good and that does not bode well for a deep tourney run (look at last year's Elite 8 and Final Four, nearly all the teams were at the top of the defensive rankings), but stop bitching about it right after a win against a decent opponent.

Be happy that State is clearly a better team now than in years past and hope that Gott can get them to steadily improve on defense while still maintaining our insane offensive efficiency.

12/19/2012 8:57:42 AM

We should not be happy to be decent with elite talent. Get rid of this mentality of mediocrity and be a realist.

12/19/2012 10:08:05 AM

So explain what a realist is? Expecting your team to be a national contender every year?

12/19/2012 10:12:34 AM

Expecting your team to play remotely close to their potential and we have top 10 talent. Being inconsistent early would be one thing, but at no time have we looked like a top 10 team. If we don't finish 2nd in the acc, this season is a disaster and it all falls on the defensive end.

12/19/2012 10:19:00 AM

Meh to that Jingle Bells song.

Dance team is looking damn fine this year though

Also, great to see that The E Man has ruined the last 2 pages of this thread

I loled about this the whole game.


And the post game commentary on the radio said the attendance was 15k and some change. Not a bad turnout at all for Stanford the week before Christmas.

12/19/2012 10:51:04 AM

we're 8-2 and aside from the OSU debacle, we're pretty much where we should be, and certainly better than where we were last year, so everyone can STFU until conference play

12/19/2012 10:51:52 AM

hope we don't meet up with UNCA in the tournament if we make it

12/19/2012 11:41:50 AM

i hope we do

12/19/2012 11:44:34 AM

we almost lost

if we almost lose to them, i hate to see what we'd be like against another "under the radar" team like campbell or radford (we have lost to them before).

12/19/2012 11:46:23 AM

The crowd only really got loud after Wood's last three in my opinion, but it was far from a dull atmosphere. The dance team has definitely improved, although the halftime show from the Reynolds game set the bar really high in terms of entertainment. Those volleyball huddles were annoying as hell and I couldn't have been happier to see Brown inside them during the second half. Lewis had flashes of his performance in the Miami game and it still grinds my gears to see so many people on here write off a freshman point guard.

I think what we've learned from the last few months is that we need four of our six main players to show up in a given game. It doesn't particularly matter if any one or two guys are off on a given night, but so as long as four guys come to play we got this shit.

12/19/2012 11:47:18 AM

Ok, someone start a St Bonnie game thread quick, I have a few memes lined up...

12/19/2012 12:05:42 PM

^^^it was also an early game, we didn't play well, no where near to our potential. i hope by the tournament we'll be firing on all cylinders and would easily dispose of unc-a. or campbell. or u-conn or norfolk st or stanford.

don't think their season supports an opportunity to get an at large bid, so as a big south tourney champ they would be a 16th seed. unless they make history and beat a #1, then that won't ever happen.

12/19/2012 12:41:14 PM

I was on the third deck in the faculty section, obviously nobody god loud up there. The students that were there seemed into it, but as has been pointed out, tons of people are on break. The students really drive the rest of the crowd and when you're missing at least 50% of that section the noise level is going to suffer a bit. However, the season ticket holders did show up even in the top deck. All in all, it was a very fun game and Stanford never had a lead.

I'd like to see us tighten up down the stretch. I don't like how we started running the clock at around the 7 minute mark because we had a solid lead. We ended up giving 10 unanswered points before we called a timeout and regrouped.

The end where Stanford fouled for the last 3 minutes was pretty annoying.

12/19/2012 1:36:45 PM

^ I was fine with that. I left with 2:12 to go and got home before the game ended.

12/19/2012 4:32:40 PM

^^^ what is we are a number 1 seed

Bullet that quote was from my post before the game because i knew you people would be happy no matter what as long as we win.

12/19/2012 9:02:15 PM

i didn't notice the "getting in Stanford huddles" thing...might have to re-watch the DVR

FWIW UNCA took #1 Syracuse the distance in the tournament last year as a 16 seed hat won their play in game... They are well coached and we are not the only team that has had trouble with them as an under the radar opponent that got caught off guard and narrowly escaped....It's not likely to happen, but lets shy away from terms like "never" - especially in lieu of their performance last year.

I love our team and NYM said it best...

^^bmel noticed it more than I did but she said they were doing it throughout the game, or at least the second half. I definitely saw Howell creep in on the back side of a huddle near the end of the game.

12/20/2012 3:30:58 PM

I was busy doing things during the breaks in play, but I think i remember the commentator jovially mentioning that lorenzo was in their huddle once.

12/20/2012 3:38:59 PM

I was at the game, and I laughed consistently every time it happened.

I hope that we keep it up for every game for the rest of the season.

12/20/2012 3:42:48 PM

Yeah Lo wasnt just in the huddle it looked almost like they huddled around him, lol

12/20/2012 3:46:03 PM

saw richard howell peep in on one of their huddles towards end of game when he was waiting to shoot foul shots

I don't think that had as much to do with running out the clock so much as the shit sandwich of a lineup that we left in there for too long. It was Lewis, Vandy, Purvis and I believe Warren and Wood. That was right after we had gotten the lead to 17 and we were rolling. Kinda wish we had staggered the bench time for Leslie, brown and howell and bit better but I am happy with it overall.
