I figured this could be a fun way to pass the time over the holidays. The first to respond with the correct answer then gets to ask their own question. Here's mine to start it off.

How many times has NC State gone undefeated at Carter-Finley Stadium, and what year did this last occur?

12/14/2010 7:31:53 PM

6

1981

12/14/2010 7:34:19 PM

Who was the dumbest dude EVER in my British Lit class?

12/14/2010 7:36:21 PM

Wrong

12/14/2010 7:37:02 PM

never?

12/14/2010 7:46:20 PM

i think we went undefeated at home in Rivers junior season which I believe was 2002 or 2003...no idea how many times though, how about 4

12/14/2010 8:13:11 PM

2002 was Rivers' Jr season ... after 9-0 start they promptly lost at home to Georgia Tech

12/14/2010 8:15:36 PM

I'll give you guys a hint, you can find this information on the GoPack webpage.

12/14/2010 8:45:26 PM

Last time this occured was 1986.

(We tied, didn't lose)

Edit: According to GoPack, we've been undefeated at home 26 times in our history (Granted, most of those were early 1900's where we played 1 or 2 home games)

Dammit....Carter-Finley stadium...not all stadiums

[Edited on December 14, 2010 at 10:35 PM. Reason : ]

12/14/2010 10:29:24 PM

Correct on that aspect. 1986 was the last time we went undefeated at home. Since you at least got part of it, I'll fill in the rest and you can ask a question.

NC State has had 5 seasons at Carter-Finley Stadium where they were undefeated.

1967 4-0
1972 5-0-1
1973 5-0
1974 5-0
1986 6-0-1

12/14/2010 10:33:36 PM

I've got two unrelated ones....one that's incredibly easy, the other that I don't think is common knowledge and might be incredibly difficult (Or everyone might know it...no idea)...just a factoid I know

1) Who scored the first basket in Reynolds Coliseum? (Should be easy)

2) Who was the first black player (basketball) to ever play for NC State's varsity team?

just realized these are both google~able

[Edited on December 14, 2010 at 10:50 PM. Reason : ]

12/14/2010 10:46:27 PM

Al Heartly and William Cooper walked on the freshman team in 67

Heartly earned a scholarship for the varsity team the next year

At least that's what a paper I wrote five years ago on integration at State says

12/14/2010 10:49:35 PM

What was the score of the game when my grandfather played against State?

12/14/2010 10:50:59 PM

^^ Correct. (Al Heartley)

Know who scored the first basket in Reynolds? (google it, then ask a better question)

What user threw a glass of chocolate milk at former NC State and NFL linebacker Bobby Houston at Jimmy V basketball camp for making fun of his generic basketball shoes?

12/14/2010 11:06:08 PM

they should have said, not all of us get free shoes buddy

What former NC State baseball player did I spend half a game talking to about his playing days in Rhode Island where he played against my cousin's school?

I was 9 or 10 years old, and had to meet with Valvano and Houston in his office. I don't remember much of the conversation, but I'm sure it was hilarious.

12/14/2010 11:19:46 PM

wait, you had to go to jimmy v's office as a punishment?

12/14/2010 11:21:58 PM

David Thompson was my coach at Hornets Basketball Camp when I was about 9

12/14/2010 11:33:14 PM

^^
No, I think it was more of a shake hands and be friends thing. I'm sure that V and Houston were just trolling me.

12/14/2010 11:35:57 PM

People thought my dad was Tom Suiter when we first moved here.

We'd go to church and people would come up and ask him if he was the high school football guy.

12/15/2010 12:15:04 AM

^^^Antawn Jamison was my coach at Bryan Adrian basketball camp in charlotte when i was 12. i wasn't paying attention in some drill and he threw a chest pass to me that blew up my face and laid me out cold.

come to think of it...i also got clocked with a ball from Tim Duncan Robert O Kelly at wake forest bball camp when i was 10.

Archie Miller used to come into the film room at Herb Sendek basketball camp and talk trash about the players on the NBA Inside Stuff highlight films.

12/15/2010 3:04:15 PM

^^you kind of suck at basketball. your parents probably shouldn't have wasted money sending you to basketball camps.

12/15/2010 4:42:45 PM

What the fukc really happened to Torry's fingers?

12/15/2010 7:47:49 PM

FYI, Vic Bubas was the first player to score a basket in Reynolds if anyone cares/didn't know.


This one should be fairly easy, and I'm going off of memory, but I think I've got this right:

1974 NC State Wolfpack.

Providence defeated UPenn to get the chance to face the Wolfpack on their home floor. The Wolfpack advanced on to play Pitt in the infamous David Thompson fall game, which was also played in Reynolds Coliseum. They then went on to defeat the reigning champion UCLA Bruins in the Greensboro Coliseum in the semifinals, and Marquette in the finals.

12/15/2010 11:22:46 PM

^i guess the answer was kind of obvious since the topic is "NC State Sports Trivia" and NC State wasn't part of the question

but its the first question that popped into my head

12/15/2010 11:24:19 PM

As many of you know Julius Hodge was the first player in NC State history to record a triple double. What was his stat line in the game?

12/15/2010 11:36:08 PM

All of you are correct.

[Edited on December 16, 2010 at 12:02 AM. Reason : if you haven't figured that out by now]

12/16/2010 12:02:37 AM
