I am a little pissed about this. Mainly because our first away conference game is @ Carolina. Every year we seem to start strong and then it goes downhill is when Carolina is our first away conference game. Another problem is our spring break starts Saturday March 1st. Guess who we play and on NATIONAL television at that? Duke at noon on CBS. How many students do you think will stick around for that game? I have to see what cruise we are going to take first now...WHAMMY

Aren't they D-II? Why would we be playing them and not UNCW or UNCG over Christmas?

[Edited on August 23, 2007 at 6:49 PM. Reason : NC Central too? What gives?]

8/23/2007 6:47:57 PM

Presbyterian and NC Central moved into Division I this year. They had to fill their schedules with someone and unfortunately it was us. I can understand Central though since at least they're local...

8/23/2007 6:52:50 PM

And people gave Herb hell for easy schedules....

8/23/2007 6:54:15 PM

Well sometimes OOC games are agreed upon a couple of years in advance, so some of these teams we probably would have faced if Herb was here or not. Lowe has said that he wants to schedule some marquee teams and that we have been in contact with some.

"NOTE: Lowe said State has talked with Kentucky, Florida and UMass and thinks they will be on State's schedule in the future but no contracts or dates have been confirmed."

The "first ACC game @ Carolina" thing nearly every single year pisses me off beyond belief.

How does this happen time and time again?

8/23/2007 8:10:09 PM

^^I know. I kid I kid. People did give Herb a lot of hell for easy schedules, but the ACC is strong enough to make almost any schedule difficult. At MSU will be a real good indicator of how well our young team will be.

8/23/2007 8:23:46 PM

MSU game was set up by ACC & Big Ten obviously...Cincy and Seton Hall are return trips and we can blame Lee Fowler for @ ECU. New Orleans was a deal that was made when they got Monte Towe. The cupcakes I would think are Sidney's scheduling but who knows, at least he got us into a decent televised tournament this year.

When do the applications for Wolfpack Club members season tickets get mailed out?

8/23/2007 8:58:51 PM

There is also a potential game against Villanova, George Mason, or Kansas State who had that killer recruiting class...in that old spice.

Overall I'm not upset about the schedule. Yeah the d00k and UNC games could be better, but its not the end of the world and it could be unc's first acc game too. We do have some really sorry teams thrown in there but there are some good ooc games too.


And you're a fag if you miss the Duke game because of spring break....that is all.

8/23/2007 9:17:17 PM

No Reynolds game listed....maybe 12/15 vs SCState is at Reynolds, but its not listed.

Almost a month without home games between New Orleans and SC State...at first I think it cant be helped because of the Old Spice Classic and the ACC/Big Ten game, but then I see "at East Carolina", and its just not acceptable.

But the biggest thing that jumps out: 21 home games last year, 18 home games this year, and yet season ticket prices will probably be higher?

8/23/2007 10:11:42 PM

Looks like we get to start by beating the national champions, Barton.

Don't worry about the future OOC schedules, Lowe will start to schedule some big ones.

In fact, next year we play @ Arizona, they visit Raleigh in 09. It's begun.

"1st big away game, but Mich St is on the slide"

On the slide? They are preseason picks by some to win the Big-10. They have everyone back and a usual Izzo recruiting class. I would say right now that this one is a Loss.

Quote :

"Fr, 12/21 Davidson (Home) 7:00 p.m. FSNS - Should win easily"

Easily? Dude do you follow college basketball? This team has a guard I would love for us to have. Stefan Curry, Dell Curry's kid. He could make any basketball team better. They have everyone back and went 29-5 last year. They give Duke scares even when they are not that good but this year they have an excellent team. Last year they beat Arizona State (poor Herb) and Charlotte and really should have beaten Maryland in the tourney.

Even if our schedule is weak, that doesn't ever hurt Memphis from getting a good NCAA seed or national ranking.

Also Gavin Grant's talk about a National Championship just makes me think of the talk before Phil's senior year

8/25/2007 12:25:14 AM

I stand by my comments for each game. Michigan State is still a great team, dont get me wrong. but that have had dissapointing seasons in comparisson with the tallent that they have been working with. And Davidson is a tricky little team, but we should still win no problem. sorry if any spelling or grammar is off.... i am a little drunk right now.... very drunk right now.

While Lowe didn’t want to say as much, the fact that the Wolfpack is looking for high-profile opponents is an indication of where he thinks the program is headed in future seasons. Coaches with down programs look for weak opponents; teams on the rise look for challenges."

haha. dude doesn't know anything. said maryland is 50/50 and michigan state is "on the slide". clemson will beat us because they pressed the shit out of us with no pg and won last year.

"8. NC State at Michigan State, Nov. 28, ESPN Michigan State has another Big Ten title team, and Tom Izzo will be blending talented newcomers Kalin Lucas, Chris Allen and Durrell Summers with vets Drew Neitzel and Raymar Morgan. NC State may not have an established point guard, but the Wolfpack will still be a big challenge in what should be a fun game to watch."

I'm assuming Chaminade upsetting to win the maui invitational?

11/15/2007 11:22:02 AM

Chaminade beat UVA when they were ranked #1 in the Maui classic when they had Ralph Sampson. It was 1982 or 1983. Ironic that they never won the NCAAs and 2 different ACC schools did those years.

11/15/2007 1:01:39 PM

Assuming two wins against Presbyterian and NC Central the pack will be at 11-3. What are your predictions starting with the UNC game. I say we finish 20-10 (9-7), but probably 19-11 (8-8).
