    Clemson wants out of the ACC too...(shocker)

    Exactly. The NFL is successful for reasons. These people are operating in the exact opposite manner of those reasons, and it will have deleterious affects.

    Clemson wants out of the ACC too...(shocker)

    The "I don't watch the G or D League" or whatever you call it argument is fairly on point here...whatever comes out of this with their 38-40 team "conference, it will be better than a G League but I still won't watch it.

    Clemson wants out of the ACC too...(shocker)

    This may be a dumb question...but why WOULDN'T ESPN simply toss more money at the ACC like they have every other Athletic entity... Now, I'm not naive to the pressures these "broadcasters" are facing, nor the problems that ESPN has being owned by Disney (vs. Fox being owned by whatever owns...

    Just got back from Cap One...

    To me, the game was over when #24 came in and started acting like a Globe Trotter when there was a game to play/win. Sure we rallied to tie/lead barely at points, but it was all down hill from there

    They could not call a transactional foul after ignoring Mintz getting crushed just earlier. They told everyone the game's on you. In some respects I give them credit for sticking to that.

    NC State Postgame Thoughts 2

    Did you play sports? The other coach assigned the whole other team to make sure he didn't get shots. This actually helps us, cause now it's 4-4 which means hopefully 3-2 elsewhere, but as I said earlier, the other team wants to win too...

    NC State Postgame Thoughts 2

    I obviously do not disagree with this, at all And I'd normally be the most frustrated with this behavior, BUT, these fans are right on the court, and it (unfortunately) goes every direction these days. You want confidence and swagger outside the top 25 recruit realm, here we are

    Literally had to tackle him for him to get a call. Yeah, refs are neutral. Not a chance (we did get some calls, they got some calls, but they are not neutral)

    NC State Postgame Thoughts 2

    I think this comment is rooted in the past. Fans used to be respectful. We don't what was said out there. If you want to be upset with America, all for it...but you don't know what was hurled at them. You might even agree with them if you did, who knows.

    I’m no basketball guru but..

    I think our coaching staff fell in love with the model after 2003, they just missed out on the luck we had with all that size on the floor (Melo as a SF in College Basketball is simply ridiculous from a scoring/rebounding perspective). I don't know how else to explain my point other than to...

    Louisville Postgame Thoughts

    I was once in a youth sports org meeting and our uniforms sponsor was explaining how they'd assign all our 80+ players a number for their uniforms for the season. She said that most leagues prefer that they skip the numbers 1 and 69, and asked if we'd like to do the same. I was just finishing...

    The ACC is really in a BAD place...Big East, Big 12, heck even SEC is bonkers right now...high talent, high coaching, high energy, etc etc Not sure what happened...I do think the ACC held on to coaching legends too long and a couple decades of one/done eventually catches up (while the...

    I’m no basketball guru but..

    This would require a longer description, and obviously this is just my perception, but the easiest way to describe this is the recruitment of Centers and Forwards. Essentially, instead of recruiting the "Best Player", our strategy was to recruit players that would best fit our Defensive...

    Louisville Postgame Thoughts

    Yes, this was my point in another thread We do not have basketball players. This is the 2nd derivative group from the "Zone-Players" that we sought out for a decade. I have confidence we'll be back into real Basketball soon, just need patience now. If you want to watch "Basketball", pull up...

    I’m no basketball guru but..

    Just disagree, potentially by a LOT We were recruiting athletes who can fit into a Zone. Not basketball players. And it really, really shows There's a reason Syracuse has only won it all when it had a SF who happened to be a 6'9 All-American. Yes, he happened to be a top 2 player in the...

    I mean whatever...empty seats, ZERO enthusiasm in those seats on TV. It's bad, REALLY bad. Not all these teams I'm watching are Top 20 but the experience is very legit compared to what we see

    I’m no basketball guru but..

    Oh, and we desperately need to change the atmosphere/seating in the Dome stat...like it or not, but our games just look/appear crummy on TV vs. all these other arenas. I'm pretty well convinced that anyone arguing this point just doesn't watch much basketball. It's a problem.

    I’m no basketball guru but..

    I'm actually watching more college basketball this year than a long time. My takeaway, FWIW, is that our basketball philosophy for the past 10 years has been catastrophic in terms of our style of play, and the players we were getting. I'm watching Providence vs. Creighton...Providence is...

    Bills 2024 Thread - Misery loves company

    They would both be helped if every time they pointed down field the Referees threw a PI penalty flag I believe zero PIs called on Chiefs, while the Ravens knocked a Chief off his line and Mahomes points downfield and the flag is thrown. That would go a long way toward keeping drives alive...

    LOL, of course, the Patriots treatment! Zero consequential flags all game, then, when the drive before half is stuffed on a loss play they throw TWO flags on the Chiefs! It's amazing, the NFL is so predictable The announcers even said there was no penalty there and they threw TWO flags...
