Quote :

"When I clicked over to Pack Pride’s morning webrun this morning I saw the headline that read “Webrun: Pack Players have Quit” The highlighted quote of the entry originates from 99.9’s Dan Manson’s tell-it-like-it-is blog entry: I never thought I’d be writing this. I figured there was no way Sidney Lowe would allow his team to go to Clemson and put up a goose egg like they did tonight against the Tigers… …State Fan…..your team has quit on you. They have quit on their coach. They have quit on their university. They have simply quit on that celebrated uniform and you should be furious and saddened all at the same time. If you deny that, you are truly in denial. They should have just quoted Mason’s entire entry (expect for the childish, irrelevant and immature Herb Sendek remark at the very end). I particularly like the fact that Mason doesn’t let Athletics Director Lee Fowler just disappear into the distance with his undeserved contract extension raise. Sidney Lowe and AD Lee Fowler simply can’t avoid the obvious. Collectively, they have to publicly challenge this team and address its many issues, which could involve gently moving out some individuals from this group. It may not be their style but at some point this group of individuals has to decide what their basketball futures will be, and the department as a whole has to come down with the hammer. These young men have quit on the program and school that has afforded them the opportunity to attend school for free. "

Decent article. Would have been better if the author had refrained from whining about the Sendek potshot.

If they're not gonna play then I'm not gonna spend my hard earned money at the bar watching them (most games not on cable here in NYC)

"Want to get even madder? Read the snips that Langston Wertz, Jr. wrote in the Charlotte Obs. this morning. Whoever he is??? Lurking onthe WolfWeb message boards to get info for his column and is surprised at the comments? I guess he gets all of his good date from IC(”the home of absolutely no human intelligence”)."

Someone find that. I can't find it.

As long as it is true, oh yay now someone is taking sarcastic, trolling posts as real info

I agree that State fans should be furius and sadden all at the same time. I felt that way when we lost to UNO, but then I saw a glimmering sliver of light after Nova, but since then I have felt nothing but pain. Where is the intensity, the desire, the hunger, the work ethic...the magic? OK, so the "magic" is too much to ask for, but the intensity should be there...I don't care if we are intensely losing, at least there is a good faith effort then.

hey guys look what we did

"Two things surprised me during North Carolina's blowout of N.C. State on Saturday: 1. Hearing play-by-play man Mike Patrick exclaim "Thank God" when N.C. State finally made a basket after a long first-half drought. 2. Reading the WolfWeb message board, where some N.C. State students and fans were leaving violent hate messages for Tar Heels players, plus racially and sexually insensitive remarks directed at Wolfpack players."

don't worry guys he was as hard on UNC as well

"Looking at North Carolina coach Roy Williams lock on two years' worth of blue-chip recruiting classes recently, it appears the Tar Heels have firmly reassumed their throne atop the ACC. And it's nice to see them find great players who are honor roll students, too. We need fewer knuckleheads in college basketball."

haha that stupid motherfucker reads the wolf web. I bet he is fucking addicted. I bet his dumb ass is reading this right now.

he is probably talking about this gem from the game thread:

Quote :

""hell, we should even kill his entire family in front of his eyes... while raping him. make sure you have a few few spare contacts so if they fall out you can put them back in so he can see better."

that's hilarious, especially the part about the contacts. I don't understand how anyone could take that seriously.

You do realize half of the 'crap' on that message board is posted in a
sarcastic tone?

Nobody in the media should EVER take TWW seriously. You're a true
journalist.

Okay, I kept pressing him:

" I wasn't trying to trash anyone. When someone writes something you don't like about your school, I can understand that the thought process might be he was just looking to trash us. I just look at what's going on the world and how it strikes me. I write about it. That's about it. Thanks for writing, though, and I hope that I haven't soiled you on the newspaper biz too much. There's some good guys doing what I do. "

1/16/2008 7:39:27 PM

i dont think he gets it

1/16/2008 7:42:59 PM

he's garbage, that whole sports department is for that matter. if my dad didn't work there i wouldn't be disappointed if the observer just shut its doors forever.

if you guys think the N&O is bad, or tarheel biased, try the charlotte observer sports page. its fucking disgusting.

1/16/2008 8:15:53 PM

I bet Langston Wertz thinks about Roy Williams when he is beating off.
