I voted for State

But I feel guilty about it

11/18/2009 6:08:20 PM

I voted for State

And I don't feel guilty about it

11/18/2009 6:09:24 PM

I don't really feel guilty about it

But like, if it was a preseason football poll, I'd think we'd have a better chance to win the conference than in basketball. Best case I see us as the 3rd best ACC team in the state

but who cares, GO PACK!

Haha, 17% for NC State. And how do they not list Clemson? I guess maybe they just stuck us in there to keep from pissing off a ton of their readers

11/18/2009 7:24:04 PM

We're supposed to vote for UNC, right?



Because there's no way in fuck I could vote for NC State.


I can't lie like that.


My momma taught me better.

^Duke looks pretty good so far. If they can get anything out of their bigs, they might roll with UNC.

NCSU @ 30%? hahaha. They're going to do with this poll what the News & Observer did with that basketball flash game during the ACC tournament last year. Reset the totals with impudence once NCSU takes a commanding lead.

haha....local sports websites must hate NC State whenever they start a poll question

What is so hard about just using "NC State"? They say "North Carolina State University" like no one knows who we are.

11/19/2009 3:23:26 PM

we've been pretty forgettable in basketball recently

just sayin'

11/19/2009 3:42:13 PM

Quote :

"The institution also faced the same turmoils during the sixties and seventies that confronted larger American society, but perhaps the most turbulent on-campus imbroglio was that over the institution’s latest name change, which began in 1962. State College officials desired to change the institution’s name to North Carolina State University. When Consolidated University administrators approved a change to the University of North Carolina at Raleigh, many were outraged. Protests and letter-writing campaigns sought relief from this proposal, and finally in 1963 a compromise was reached, with State College officially becoming North Carolina State of the University of North Carolina at Raleigh. Students, faculty, and alumni continued to express dissatisfaction with this name, however, and after two more years of political wrangling, the name was once again changed, this time to the current North Carolina State University at Raleigh."

So not too far off. Pretty much the result of the general assembly being spiteful in the request to change the name. Now they just conspire to suppress our athletics.
