just look at this....a lot of you fuckers didnt even pull for state until you got to school.....it was hard to grow up a state fan and remember what was and swallow what out program turned into....it was easy to be a unc or duke fan through childhood....as statefans we were always the stepchildren of the ACC.....why cant a little 2 year old with a dream not finally get what he always wanted 23 years later.....a little bit of hope....

dream in one hand and crap in the other and see what piles up first.

my family is all Red Sox and URI fans. you dont think I've suffered my whole life? at least State has been to the Final Four. Imagine being up by 10, a minute away from the Final Four, only to see your team give up 11 unanswered to Stanford.

exactly my point you fucking cocksucker go back to URI and get the fuck out of here....there are a few real fans around.....URI has never been what state was.....and your Sox finally got one last year.....

im just saying, it could be a lot worse. A LOT worse.

4/6/2006 7:33:21 PM

dude acc basketball is cut throat period....did you go to elementary school during the ACC tourney and watch that shit on TV....no because i am sure you arent from NC and never took the heat from the blues....you wont understand beacuse you arent from NC

4/6/2006 7:37:59 PM

I'm jealous

4/6/2006 7:39:35 PM

you're full of shit, u were only a state fan because of your parents

4/6/2006 7:40:39 PM

University of Rhode Island?

4/6/2006 7:41:38 PM

i'm just playin', but still, i promise you i love state sports as much as you do

4/6/2006 7:41:40 PM

growing up a fan doesnt make you better than anyone else. its about passion you have now. how hot the fire burns doesnt have anything to do with how long it has been burning.


in closing... STFU

4/6/2006 7:42:04 PM

no, being from RI, a state bitterly divided between the Yanks and the Sox, i never experienced rivalry

yes, i know its important. carry on.

4/6/2006 7:42:21 PM

RI is a real state?? dude nobody gives a fuck about baseball in the south unless it is the Braves....why you you think there are only a few teams down here and most are in FL where all the northerners live....back to basketball bud...

what does baseball have to do with it? i was just saying that the idea of being tormented by your next door neighbor who pulls for the enemy trancends geography.

i think i used to have a shirt like that one that you're wearing. my parents bought some merchandise

from all of the Big Four schools back in the day. we had 4 mini-balls of all the schools back in the

80's, which my brother and I would shoot on our mini-goals in our bedroom. i still have an old

Charlotte Hornets one hanging on my closet back home. i know i have an old Gator Bowl sweater,

when it was sponsored by Outback Steakhouse, here with me that has a bunch of Tuffy Wolf Head

logos and Diamond logos on it. i remember having State, Carolina (my damn brother), and UNCC

metal trash bins. We also had a really old UNCC pennant hanging in me and my brother's bedroom

with the old 49-er logo with the guy with a pitchfork. my mom, and her brothers were all big

basketball fans, especially of Davidson basketball. she has had a little bit of a dislike for the Tar

Heels after they knocked Davidson out of the tournament one year a long time ago. i have some

great memories of watching those early 90's NCAA tournaments with my family. i curse Chris Webber

to this day for calling that damn timeout. ah the glory days. hopefully this hire we'll bring us

from being a very good program to a great program in a few years. i would personally like to see our

next coach become an establishment here, that way we won't have to worry about this for a long

time.

4/6/2006 7:54:15 PM

^exactly....see there are a few of us out there....

4/6/2006 8:04:47 PM

see NC is a college basketball mecca. we're raised on college bball, sweet tea, and barbeque (notice that i left out NASCAR; while i know more about NASCAR than say someone from Wisconsin, i'm am definitely not a fan; i just hear so much about it that it soaks into my head; i'm from Charlotte by the way, NASCAR holy land). where else do you have middle schoolers, come March, pick two college teams out of a hat and have chances to win prizes depending on how far your teams progress in the tournament. yes this happened at my middle school as a reward to those students in each grade that made the A Honor Roll. i remember getting a 15 seed and thinking to myself, "Motherfucker!" Pitino can say all he wants about Kentucky, but the best college basketball state in North Carolina.

4/6/2006 8:18:36 PM

i wasnt born until 86, and was born and bread a state fan. I dont remember the last years of Valvano, only when he died. The only NC State success I have seen in on ESPN Classic. I went through years of torture from my UNC fans at school. But all along I stayed true to my school. I always wanted to come to school here, and I did. I definately bleed red. I was hoping the Rick Barnes would come and we would start getting top 5 recruiting classes and being in the top 10. Im pretty bumed right now.

4/6/2006 8:57:19 PM

I'm in the same boat, sublime... just don't have the old pictures scanned to prove it.

I was born and less than two months later, we won a national title.

4/6/2006 8:59:14 PM

I too was born right before our national title, in Feb of 74.....

I was in my mother's womb when we won the '83 title. She stayed up and ate ice cream and junk food and watched all of the late games. I was a State fan before I was born. Holler.

4/6/2006 10:10:51 PM

^aha times 3

4/6/2006 10:12:20 PM

I've seen these pictures like 4 or 5 times now.. congrats, you've been a state fan since you were little, good job

4/6/2006 10:13:07 PM
