" A Classic For All Reasons! ... Something For Everyone - 3/12/2007 2:16:24 PM ... ... ... FIRST …. For any/all UNCers feelin’ kinda narly today because The Unthinkable almost happened ergo it might be seen as a hollow victory. Trust Ol’ Bob on this … a hollow victory ALWAYS trumps a moral victory. Just ask any Wuff fan today. And congrats to The Blue Messiah who now only lacks an Olympic Gold Medal and a Hoop-It-Up 3 On 3 Title to have done it all in his Head Coach career. SECOND …. Absolute unqualified KUDOS, CONGRATS and HUZZAS to El Sid and his staff and team for a GREAT FOUR GAMES. Hold your heads up high and make those little wuffie hand puppet thingies ….. the future is now for Wolfpack basketball and the alumni office at St Paul’s could not be prouder of their favorite son … and ya gotta think Jimmy V is mighty proud too. Sidney Lowe is FOR REAL. That cagey Ol’ Jed Fowler lucked out, huh. Wonder if at least one State fan has said thanks to Ol’ Jed ??? …. Nahhhh. OK, so now we’re just going to run thru the sidebars ….. ... Yesterday at 1:00 PM EDT, everyone in the St Pete Times Forum stood up to ask “Jose” if he could see. The Raycom camera panned the team benches …. Uh oh … well, uh oh for Carolina because The Wolfpack clearly won the National Anthem. El Sid, Monte, assorted assistants, managers, trainers and players were all standing in a straight line looking up at the flag with their right hands over their hearts. NASCAR pit crews do not do it any better. It looked terrific and obviously is not by accident or optional for anyone on the NC State bench. Whether it’s simply a team solidarity/disciple thing or patriotic … it merits a BobLee AttaBoy. …. Then the camera panned the Carolina bench … uh oh. No one was purposefully disrespectful but there were about 20 different poses, looking arounds, shufflin’, checkin’ out cheerleaders, smilin’, frownin’, Now I saw no John Carlos black glove protests, nose-pickin, or genital scratchin nor any overt disrespect to the flag, country, et al. I’m sure a faction of UNC’s infamous atheistic anarchists Islamo-faculty squirrels would prefer a much more overt embarrassment to the University. Anyway …. NC State clearly won the National Anthem. ... Everyone on-site or watching on TV which I assume includes everyone reading this, knew Ol’ Roy was going to try and run the legs off of Sidney’s boys. Casual fans were mumbling about “fresh legs” and “hitting the wall” with absolutely no idea what they were talking about but it sounded cool. Those were the same casual fans wondering if Rodney Monroe was Marilyn and Joe DiMaggio’s son. Hey, it takes all kinds. Roy sure tried. He had Ty Lawson in overdrive but those pesky wuffs were like red-clad Energizer Bunnies. They were on a mission and (almost) not to be denied. The MVP thingie: “They” almost got it right … the BRAND_ _ part was correct, but then Prince Machiavelli took over and added another piece of conspiratorial gristle for State Shineolas to chew on for decades. Surely all the non-UNC J-School voters MEANT to write BrandON but instead wrote BrendAN … TILT … KABOOM … Lupine Meltdown Alert! There MIGHT be 1-2 UNC J-schoolers among the ACC voting contingent … but never let reality interfere with Lupine Paranoia. Blame it on the UNC J-School Conspiracy. That is on page six of your Official NC State Conspiracy Hymnal. BrandAN Wright had three fine games (he dunks very well!) and was an integral part of Carolina’s net-cutting weekend. I hear he’s a fine young man and loves his mamma and will be driving a Bentley this time next year …… but “the other BrandON (Costner)” had four INCREDIBLE games and was all over the floor yesterday hitting a variety of shots, snatching rebounds, making steals and simply being THE MOST VALUABLE PLAYER WITHOUT QUESTION. Giving the MVP to a member of the non-winning team has happened three times in ACC History. This shoulda been the 4th time. Rank this with Cal Ripken not being unanimous for Cooperstown. It was inexcusable and justified only by the fact that screwin’ NC State is like the unofficial favorite sport of pretty much everybody on Earth not part of WolfPackNation. INCOMING!!! .... alert the neighbors. First round of F-bombers should show up by 4:30. But, Hell, it's true Ty Lawson’s Rim Rattler at The End …. Wuff Loonies are ahowlin’ Poor Sportsmanship. Using all their standard racial and sexual slurs which is A LOT of slurs. No dumpster full of really stoopid humanoids can do slurs like State’s bottom-feeder faction. …. IF Carolina had been ahead by 20 and Ty chosen to punctuate the rout by his rim rattler with a second to play I woulda said … “Yikes, Tywan, that will cause more trouble than it was worth” … BUT it was 100% just fine in this case. This was anybody’s game until the final 20 seconds. Every fan, player, coach was gnawing their nails to nubs and adrenalin was pumping like a West Texas gusher. Ty made the steal and his competitive instincts were at full tilt saying Fly High Young Man Fly High! NOW … IF the situation had been exactly reversed … State had sealed a W in the final 20 seconds in an arena exploding with emotions I GUARANTEE you a State player in the same situation woulda done the same …. And I GUARANTEE you UNC’s pathetic bottom-feeder faction would react exactly like State’s bottom-feeders reacted because pathetic human hairballs ARE ALL ALIKE. I’m pretty sure I’ve told you folks that on several occasions over the years … haven’t I? ... ... State’s version of this species is BLAMING DEAN SMITH for their draw in the NIT. Indeed by their incredible illogic, Ye Olde Legend is getting back at State for swiping David Thompson from him by sending them to Drexel on Tuesday. Shame on you Dean … bad Legend … go to bed without your MayPo tonight. ..... Gotta Luv'em! The Tyler gets away with Murder Theory: Tyler sent UNCers into ecstacy in his post-game I’m probably staying comments …. because I’m having fun and Dad can buy gorgeous Step-Mom lots of toys without needing my NBA bonus bucks anyway …” So ACC fans (especially in Rawlee and Derm) will have another year to whine that Little Johnny has ordered John Clougherty to protect Tyler … except in the eyes of Little Johnny’s fellow UNC alums who claim Tyler gets mugged on every possession. Whether Tyler be a mugger or a muggee depends on which color glasses one wears. And so it shall always be in these parts. Tyler accumulated four fouls …. made like a bazillion free throws in a row … and got whacked in the mouth on both of McCauley’s baskets in the last minute. Do ya know what 42 out of 44 is? That is Tyler Hansbrough’s free throw record in his career versus NC State. Where else you gonna get such cool factoids? Thanks to “Chuck” our favorite Derm cop. ... It was an outstanding ACC Tournament … even if it was waaay too close to the equator. So good it sort of helped to defuse the Henderson/K/Tyler mess. For the record, Gerald has personally apologized to Tyler who accepted his apology …. But, hey, ignore that if its interferes with your primal hate thingie. I’m in four different bracket groups … howsabout you? Duke plays Norwood's VCU Rams in Round One. Why would that have been “more interesting” if it had happened LAST YEAR? >>><<< Phil Spence provided the shoulder that Skywalker caught his leg on. No, it was not Monte. Tank Tyler could jump over Monte. I thought the NCAA had solved a certain problem .... The "Championship Caps" STILL HAD THE TAGS ON THEM. THAT LOOKS STOOPID! TAKE OFF THE TAGS !!!! .... and there should be a rule that at least ONE PLAYER wear the freekin' cap in a traditional brim forward fashion ... just for us traditionalists ... PLEASE ... just one! When Carolina started to pull away in the first half, I was hoping Ol’ Roy would NOT let it become a rout. The Pack had earned better than such a sad end to a great weekend. I guess Ol’ Roy read my mind. Huh?"

entertaining read

3/14/2007 1:44:36 PM

awesome

3/14/2007 1:48:06 PM

Did EARL write that?

3/14/2007 1:49:18 PM

why should we care what he said? and can we just move on from this already? Focus on Marist, and stop whining like carolina fans.

3/14/2007 1:51:51 PM

what? that was a good read
right on the money

3/14/2007 1:52:28 PM

i like this guy, he is often quoted on Statefansnation....

3/14/2007 1:53:48 PM

This is the same guy that called the student parking lot "F-bomb Alley".

3/14/2007 1:57:59 PM

Good lord. What horrible writing--it gave me a headache trying to wade through that shit.

it was a mostly appeasing, if difficult and erratic, article, but i'm surprised nobody howled about that last sentence

3/14/2007 2:24:04 PM

yeah i wasnt exactly too thrilled upon reading it, but it beats most nc state press i suppose.

this definitely doesn't come close to most of the love state has been receiving this past week though.

3/14/2007 2:26:34 PM

glad to know we have an idiot who can't write a coherent setence as a state fan.

3/14/2007 2:27:45 PM

Did EARL write that?

seriously, that was hard to read through. dud has good points, but isn't much of a writer.

3/14/2007 2:38:54 PM

i think he clearly writes as he would talk instead of writing a journalistic masterpiece

I cannot believe I took the time to read that terrible article.

He defends Hansdouche by saying McCauley popped him in the mouth on one of those baskets?
