Is it basketball season yet?

We need a clock like we have football.

9/12/2011 9:45:09 AM

^See top of pg 3. Has an official date been set for the Red Rally?

9/12/2011 9:55:15 AM

^^ Too bad we'll be even worse in basketball than football. At least we'll have a chance against UNC in football. /sucks to be a pack fan

rawr rawr rawr (give it a rest buddy)

9/12/2011 10:19:35 AM

Felt like posting this.

9/12/2011 7:28:31 PM

i'll fix the countdown now, looks like the red rally got nixed this year, back to the traditional red/white game before a football game

9/12/2011 7:29:35 PM

no more dancing???

9/13/2011 10:12:01 PM

One game this year will be played in black alternate jerseys. Can't remember if that was new news or not.

Also, the Stanford game is the first part of a home and home, and they're almost done inking a deal with Kansas for a home and home the year after that (I think...pretty sure it wouldn't start next year).

9/15/2011 9:45:56 PM

I'm not getting my expectations up too much...but with this staff and the players they have to work with, I think they'll do much better than people expect (I guess that's not hard when people expect us to finish in the cellar of the ACC though).

i can't remember if i've heard this already or not, but this is bullshit.

9/16/2011 12:48:57 PM

would love to read an article titled "Why People Love Alternate Jerseys"

because I'll never get it

especially black jerseys

9/16/2011 12:51:30 PM

i don't quite get why it gets some people so upset.

9/16/2011 12:59:44 PM

I don't really care about the alternates...But it seems sort of pointless in basketball since you wear white at home. You wouldn't even get to wear your alternates in front of your home crowd.

9/16/2011 1:02:37 PM

because they look cool (usually)

9/16/2011 2:50:46 PM

to me, a cool jersey is one that you recognize throughout your program's history. not some shit that adidas (or nike) thinks looks neat.

9/16/2011 3:02:16 PM

Black should never be more than an accent on any of our uniforms, and even then I'd prefer strictly red and white

9/16/2011 3:03:29 PM

people just love change from time to time and especially if its black.

9/16/2011 5:18:19 PM

The black uniforms aren't bullshit...assuming you meant that you didn't believe it was happening. Jeff Dunlap confirmed it yesterday, as well as the home and home with Kansas that is close to being signed.

Even though the black is a overused, if it's just one home game I don't really have a problem with it.

9/16/2011 9:16:59 PM

I have zero faith in ever finding a good NC State hat

9/19/2011 2:34:54 PM

he said those are for former players....old guys wear golf style hats like that

9/19/2011 2:35:33 PM

mario chalmers practices with the team a few days ago.

9/20/2011 4:01:20 PM

what connection does he have that would bring him to State for a practice?

9/20/2011 4:07:51 PM

^ well as a state fan i love that man dearly for what he and brandon rush did to unc in the final four. i doubt that's what he's thinking.

i meant it's a horrible idea. for football, whatever, one stupid home game would get bitched about by me but whatever. basketball is a different story though. do not fuck w/ my basketball team debbie yow.

[Edited on September 20, 2011 at 4:11 PM. Reason : an AD should understand that the team is way more mine than it is hers, and i don't want black alts.]

9/20/2011 4:09:17 PM

i have no idea. but somebody mentioned it on PP a few days ago. then, supposedly, gottfried tweeted something like "thanks mario for practicing with the team", and mario responded "no problem coach".

9/20/2011 4:09:35 PM

can't hurt to have NBA players showing up to practice.

9/20/2011 4:26:17 PM

NCAA violations must have occurred! Call the NCAA, double secret probation for NC State.

Seriously though I wonder why Chamlers would be practicing with State. Maybe Gottfried recruited him when he was at Bama and they've maintained a friendship?

9/20/2011 4:31:03 PM

i'm sure he didn't make a trip for it. either way you're thinking too much. you're supposed to just say "neat" and not try to dissect how he was secretly trying to screw us.

9/20/2011 4:36:12 PM

I'm hoping for even smaller numbers.

9/23/2011 7:34:46 PM

lol

9/23/2011 7:37:22 PM

New court design, when I first saw the pics of the Dail Center's court, I was like meh, but somehow I really like the new design for the RBC, esp. if they leave off the RBC logo

9/29/2011 9:51:18 AM

I like it!

pee 'n see

9/29/2011 9:54:27 AM

If they must put the building name, just put some text like Staples Center does...they should be able to go even smaller than that

just no block logos



I wonder if everyone's going to start using that new Mission Basketball product, Court Grip
Dwyane Wade was advertising it over a couple media yesterday...I was thinking it was a court surface, but it looks like a deodorant stick that you just rub on the bottom of your shoes

" President Barack Obama is saying what many North Carolinians already know: the Tar Heel State is going to be a frequent stop on the campaign trail next year. In a Thursday interview with WXII-TV, Obama said he's planning on "actively campaigning" in the state as he hopes to win another term in the White House. He's already visited North Carolina twice in the last four months, promoting his proposed solutions to the country's ongoing unemployment problem. Although North Carolina has tilted Republican in recent decades, Obama won the state in 2008. He also took the chance to speculate on the prospects for some of the state's top college basketball programs. The president expects good things from Duke and North Carolina, but says Wake Forest still has some rebuilding to do."

He was just at State like 2 weeks ago! What an ingrate!

I just noticed that the picture of Tyler Harris above has PACK on the shorts. I hope that stays on the shorts for the actual uniforms.

9/29/2011 10:31:56 PM

GOOOOOOOOOOOO

STATE PACK!

9/29/2011 10:45:09 PM

#34 Tyler Harris Days left until the R/W game. (well, actually it's Sunday, but I'll forget to post)

9/30/2011 1:19:38 PM

James Henderson started a thread on Packpride premium titled, Injury.

10/2/2011 11:39:03 PM

Don't know if it's related, but I saw on twitter where Jay Lewis (walk on) injured - maybe broke - his foot the other day.

yes, best to just do a cursory scan. if not, you'll feel angrier and stupider.
