the thing that fucking blows is the NCAA knows that carolina basketball gear probably makes up 50% of their annual swag sales budget...

people who have no affiliations with unc buy that shit incessantly

^^^^^^you blew it

The Purvis situation is such bullshit!
Someone needs to burn down the NCAA.

why is PP asking me to log in when i try to read the non-premium threads? have they gone underground?

9/6/2012 10:01:56 PM

It appears so. I guess the Peppers transcript made them get cautious and prevent lurkers.

9/6/2012 10:24:54 PM

If we join the NAIA Purvis can play immediately.

9/6/2012 10:31:47 PM

the conspiracy theory I heard was that the scout messageboard owners were in cahoots with UNC folk and they changed the packpride rules to keep out lurkers so they wouldn't find the TRUTH about what was going on at UNC.

9/6/2012 10:49:20 PM

though i havent tried in a couple weeks, when i first heard about PP locking down, i was able to successfully peruse the site using my IC login

in other words, i'm sure somebody on Boise State's or Utah's scout.com board could still view PP threads

9/6/2012 10:53:20 PM

You just have to have a basic account to log in. It's annoying, but Duke's site has had it as long as I can remember.

9/7/2012 8:32:46 AM

There was some shit going down where some IC posters were taking it to the real world. They found the real name of a PackPride poster who was a lawyer and basically defaming him. He, in turn, kinda did the same thing or threatened to. I think some other PPs got into it (it was against the guy who said his aunt worked in Admissions or something at State).

There were some perma-bans handed out and now everything has gotten real strict. I was already banned on Packpride so I would just read without having an account. NO MAS.

9/7/2012 8:43:42 AM

^How'd you get banned?

9/7/2012 8:48:53 AM

That's some significant butthurt when you start taking internet beef into the real world.

9/7/2012 10:29:26 AM

especially for a team that's not your rival.
I don't see why, if the above story is true, the lawyer didn't just, you know, file a lawsuit and be done with it.

Got sarcastic with one of the moderators. It was one of the most trivial things ever. They like to complain about the IC mods...but the ones on PP are more ridiculous, IMO.

9/7/2012 11:26:49 AM

I was denied access on PackPride because my username was 1988hoops

9/7/2012 1:11:55 PM

they probably figured it was gonna be HOOPS MALONE

9/7/2012 1:26:16 PM

I saw Dematha kids getting kicked out of school for hiring prostitutes after beating Hillside. I immediately thought of Beejay Anya but it turns out it was the football team (duh) not the basketball team.

Not that it would have matters anyway because we haven't brought in a kid from DeMatha in like a decade.

Don't think this analysis has been posted yet:

Quote :

"Even schedule helps Pack First impressions: N.C. State made the NCAA tournament last season on the strength of its non-conference schedule. There won’t be as many big games outside the ACC this season (Michigan, UConn), but the schedule is loaded with RPI-helpers (Western Michigan, St. Bonaventure) and experienced tournament teams (Norfolk State, Cleveland State). Highlights: The non-conference matchups with Michigan (Nov. 27) and UConn (Dec. 4), and the ACC games against UNC at home (Jan. 26) for ESPN’s GameDay and at Duke (Feb. 7). The Wolfpack plays the Tar Heels and Blue Devils twice this season. Toughest stretch: There really isn’t one. The Pack plays consecutive road games just once (at Duke on Feb. 7, at Clemson Feb. 10). Last year, N.C. State went through lulls with seemingly meaningless games (Boston College-Georgia Tech-Wake Forest) and then had a Duke-FSU-UNC stretch. The ACC schedule will be tougher this year, with two games each against Duke and FSU (after only one last season), but it’s also spread out more evenly. Biggest quirk: The games of interest — Duke, UNC, FSU — have more space to them, which should add up to a better rhythm to the season. Lucky break: The ACC wheel spun and landed again on two games each with Georgia Tech and Boston College."

new bball jerseys (tweeted by MG)



kinda liked last year's better.

9/14/2012 3:11:34 PM

I'm not a big fan of this new love of the block S and TATE look. I think it looks dumb, but we've definitely had worse.

9/14/2012 3:18:11 PM

as long as the players like them I'm cool w/ it. look good play good.

9/14/2012 3:20:21 PM

^^ and ^, agreed. i do like the block S TATE on the football jerseys...but it looks odd on these bball jerseys.

9/14/2012 3:22:08 PM

Not a fan of the pattern above the lettering. Looks almost yellowish, like pit stains or urine.

9/14/2012 3:25:23 PM

is this what we're doing now? new jerseys every year?

the block s looks stupid, just like it looks stupid on the football jerseys.

9/14/2012 3:32:12 PM

The block S doesn't bother me, the sports bra looking top and 80's looking blur on the shorts does bother the shit out of me. But if the players like it I don't really care I guess.

9/14/2012 3:39:30 PM

lol at the shorts

9/14/2012 3:39:41 PM

fierce red design on the shorts. lol.



[Edited on September 14, 2012 at 3:40 PM. Reason : ^ beat me to the pic...]

[Edited on September 14, 2012 at 3:41 PM. Reason : i am a fan of the "Pack" on the shorts...but that was there last yr too i think]

9/14/2012 3:39:58 PM

The jerseys in both football and basketball were great last year. Why we're changing them is beyond me.

These new basketball ones look like there is a built-in bra. And this god awful block S-TATE thing has got to stop. It looks hideous, though it looks better on these than football.

9/14/2012 3:40:38 PM

I like the Block S on the basketball jerseys more than I do on the football ones. Design on the shorts looks stupid as hell though, at least they still say PACK on the leg.

9/14/2012 3:42:30 PM

hahahaha

9/14/2012 3:42:33 PM

Hahaha, it does look like a bra or a strapless dress or something.

9/14/2012 3:43:02 PM

Here comes the fashion brigade

9/14/2012 3:54:33 PM

The numbers look too skinny

Agree with the cumstain yellow

I don't mind the block S TATE

9/14/2012 3:54:53 PM

wow those are fucking atrocious. why can't we have it say STATE. just STATE, no cutesy Block S TATE garbage. all white unis. some red piping. done.

I'm glad someone else is annoyed by the BLOCK S TATE thing. the simplicity and the tradition of the STATE is what is so attractive. putting the NC in there fugs up the balance and it's an eyesore.

9/14/2012 4:03:47 PM

i actually like the STATE...it accomplishes the fact that we are NC State too.

9/14/2012 4:05:00 PM

The block S on both the football & basketball jerseys looks so forced

It would be great if we could just come get one solid design and just stick with it. I'd be perfectly fine with using the same simple design from the 70s & 80s. No black outlines, just red & white.

The wolves howling is a nice subtle touch though

This shit trips me out every time it happens. Yall realize that everyone isn't every going to agree? what you think may be awesome, somebody else would hate. It's not that bad.

9/14/2012 4:14:06 PM

no, basketball uniforms are created based on the input on these boards. Ask anyone.
