Using sportscenter highlights as the only background for your articles FTW!

The funniest part: look at the caption for the picture:

"Gavin Grant's game winning free throws at the Old Spice Classic left Vanderbilt fans seething with the referees."

they're not the only ones who won't let this go

12/13/2007 3:47:33 PM

who gives a shit

jesus

I could care less what he thinks, but it speaks to the credibility of some of these columnists when all they do is latch onto one moment they saw on the highlights and spin over and over. Lazy journalism.

shitty shitty journalism

"The North Carolina State Tarheels"

what a douchebag

12/13/2007 4:03:18 PM

are you trying to say that NC isn't known as the tar heel state?

12/13/2007 4:05:14 PM

no, its obviously a shot against the raleigh folks who responded to his column

[Edited on December 13, 2007 at 4:05 PM. Reason : too harsh]

12/13/2007 4:05:40 PM

no, fuckwad. i am trying to say that when referring to NC State, he didnt have to use the term tar heel state; i mean...wtf

12/13/2007 4:06:39 PM

some people will find anything to bitch about

this is a textbook example

12/13/2007 4:07:17 PM

yeah maybe we should just let journalists make blatant errors and give them unlimited free passes like saying we beat Vanderbilt when we actually beat Villanova

hey you remember last year when the Colts beat the 49ers in the Superbowl?

12/13/2007 4:08:04 PM

doesnt really matter all that much


and bitching about the Tar Heel State thing is just stupid... that is what the state is known as

I mean, do you REALLY think Seth Davis cares enough about dissing NC State that he sits down and thinks "I will mention that the state is nicknamed the Tar Heel State! that will show em!"

12/13/2007 4:18:26 PM

yea i think people are blowing this out of proportion

12/13/2007 4:19:27 PM

^^i do actually. anyone who follows sports like he does knows how we feel about the tarheels. i think he said that on purpose, but its not really anything to get your panties in a wad about.



[Edited on December 13, 2007 at 4:25 PM. Reason : its actually kind of clever]

12/13/2007 4:20:23 PM

its aight.. jaybee would actually care if they said anything that could degrade Tennessee

12/13/2007 4:24:58 PM

well yeah, but we actually somewhat matter

12/13/2007 4:28:36 PM

people that are making this a big deal are fucking morons

if saying we are from the tar heel state pisses you off you really need help.

12/13/2007 4:30:40 PM

yup... and being serious here... if someone said "from the Volunteer State" I wouldnt take that bad at all, lighten up

Doubtful. Duke vs UNC is all anyone really cares about or follows in sports.

12/13/2007 4:39:28 PM

Seriously. I'm not even trolling. When people think about UNC and a rivalry, Duke is the first to come to mind. Sure NCSU vs UNC might be a rivalry, but its more a rivalry for NCSU fans than it is for UNC or the rest of the country.

12/13/2007 4:41:25 PM

i could care less about calling it the tar heel state

but i dont know why you guys are giving him a free pass on saying we beat Vandy when we actually beat Nova

thats just a blatant mistake in his article

12/13/2007 4:42:49 PM

but Vandy is a better team this year, you should be happy he made that mistake, makes State look better

12/13/2007 4:43:26 PM

If you don't realize that sportswriters know about the rivalry then it's no wonder you work at chilis.

They may not care about it, but they know about it.

12/13/2007 4:44:24 PM

also Dexter loves watching that nationally renowned rivalry every year when the Tarheels and Blue Devils meet up on the gridiron for the best 60 minutes of college football that 300,000,000 Americans annually tune into

12/13/2007 4:45:29 PM

How could he make such an obvious mistake.

^^I never said they didn't know about it.

^Well considering this is a basketball thread, your post makes no sense.

12/13/2007 4:46:04 PM

wow, didnt mean to seem like i was "getting my panties in a wad" just pointing it out, thought it was weird, oh well

12/13/2007 4:46:48 PM

speaking of Duke football, they interviewed Cutcliffe yesterday



and since you all brought up Tennessee... J.P Prince's 1 year sit out period because of transferring is about to end, so thats a former 5-star recruit to add to the mass of talent

12/13/2007 4:47:06 PM

hey you remember that time I fucked Jen on your boat

12/13/2007 4:47:07 PM

You guys are some butthurt retards that need to get your bootyholes off the broom handles


god dammit yall sound like queers, WE ARE THE FUCKIN TARHEEL STATE and no one gives a flying fuck about NCSU enough to develop conspiracies or to wanna stick it to our fans

the publish shit across the country, we're a localized drop in the bucket just be thankful they put an article about our shit in the paper


if that nigga said "Fuck this team these sorry ass faggot tarheels from NCSU can eat a fat dick" id be happy we got some run


yall should be happy too

12/13/2007 4:53:59 PM

my only issue is with him fucking up our opponent in the Old Spice tourney

thats like saying "But after the Panthers finally got a home victory over the hapless 49ers, they went back on the road and got run all over by the Jets"

12/13/2007 4:57:26 PM

^ but once again, Vandy is better than 'Nova this year, so it looks better, not worse


^^ hahahahahah



and something tells me that Davis probably doesnt write the captions to the pics anyways...

12/13/2007 4:59:18 PM

does anybody actually think that davis is the one who wrote the caption?
