Hey guys remember that one year when we had a team with tons of talent and finally swept Carolina in a down year for them? Yeah me neither.

1) yes

and

2) kind of safe to say that this isn't much of a down year for them anymore

2/23/2013 5:52:40 PM

while this season isn't over, this really is a bitch slap of reality: not a great team


this is probably the most disappointing season I can remember, aside from the year we lost to Vandy in the NCAAs when we had a 3 seed

2/23/2013 5:52:48 PM

Well, atleast reading PackPride now is going to be fun...

2/23/2013 5:52:52 PM

i'm not trolling, i'm just sad our team is so consistently bad or hilariously underachieving.

2/23/2013 5:53:14 PM

I am lining up the rest of my beers and drinking them all right now as fast as I can. I really don't know what else to do at this point

2/23/2013 5:54:11 PM

I'm just so pissed. This is a shitty, terrible unc team. We would've won this game by 15 is Leslie wasn't our version of McAdoodoo.

But shit, it wasn't just him. We made Marcus Paige look like a decent PG.

i think CJ Leslie can be a real disease to this team...his selfishness and lazyness just plagues this team.

2/23/2013 5:54:34 PM

I can't believe there was ever a time when we weren't mediocre. Like, I hear stories about national and conference championships, but that just seems so foreign to me.

Now that Roy has figured out what everyone else in America knew about what their best lineup was they've played much better.

They're still a soft team with a lot of issues, but they can play very well in a given game.

2/23/2013 5:54:56 PM

yes it is a down year. don't kid yourselves. if they are not a top 5 national contender it is a down year. There will be more years where carolina is unbeatable than years where carolina is like this. this is a house money year for roy. They lost how many lotto picks?

State will never have a better talent advantage over the rest of the acc, duke and unc ever again. you can count on that.

2/23/2013 5:55:02 PM

CJ shouldn't get another minute on the floor this year. we should basically give him the russel wilson treatment and tell him to get the fuck out

2/23/2013 5:55:46 PM

We shouldnt have been ranked #6 to start the year.

But 15-20 was fair. And now we're playing like 40-45.

2/23/2013 5:55:47 PM

we almost beat them in Greensboro last year when they had 4 future 1st round NBA picks

i know you shortsighted bastards cant come close to realizing it after a double digit loss 5 minutes ago, but the gap has been significantly reduced between the quality of the 2 schools' bball programs

2/23/2013 5:56:11 PM

Basically a complete shit show on our part. Turnovers and weak defense. Carolina got to every loose ball.

Brown and Leslie got outplayed.

2/23/2013 5:56:51 PM

THIS CAROLINA TEAM SUCKS. THEY ONLY LOOK GOOD BECAUSE THE REST OF COLLEGE BASKETBALL, SUCH AS US, FUCKING BLOW.

If our team was actually good they lose to us by 30 in Raleigh and 15 today.

lol "almost"

2/23/2013 5:57:16 PM

Remember when we started ranked and lost to New Orleans and ECU?

2/23/2013 5:58:10 PM

^that was the only season worse than this shit

almost beating them doesn't mean shit.

Quote :

ONLY because they lost 4 first rounders and we brought back our best team in 20 years. next year we will be back to getting our shit pushed in.

^oh noes, Zeller graduated, they lost him! we lost AJ, CJW and Painter, cry us a river too

2/23/2013 5:59:31 PM

At this point, it is impossible to be okay with Leslie's behavior. As a fan, I can't expect anything from the players so I'm kinda whatever if they don't play well. But Leslie's nonsense is disrespectful to the rest of the team. Why should Howell even try if Leslie is going to do what we just witnessed?

Our team is so much better than Chapel Hill.

2/23/2013 5:59:43 PM

Yeah the most disappointed I have been with a team is still the 2007-08 season. What a disaster.

20? I'd go so far as to say 40

2/23/2013 6:00:59 PM

TT, you surely realize that the only reason the gap is closed is because we have the most talented team in years and their team is a bunch of freshman and sophs. Its not like we can expect the talent gap to be any more in our favor again anytime soon

2/23/2013 6:00:59 PM

WE MADE THE TOURNAMENT WEEKS AGO BUT THIS IS STILL THE WORST SEASON. WORSE THAN LOSING TO FLORIDA ATLANTIC OR NEW ORLEANS OR ECU.

BRING BACK LOWE WHEN HE GETS OUT OF PRISON.

2/23/2013 6:01:45 PM

^^in case you didnt notice, Gott is recruiting better than Les, Herb and Lowe ever did

if i post this again after we beat the pants off Boston College next week, it might make more sense

Goddammit, guys, I thought this was the fucking year

2/23/2013 6:04:55 PM

Oh well. For some reason I'm not _that_ upset. Maybe we will get a chance at revenge in the ACCT

2/23/2013 6:05:15 PM

we couldnt beat wake, maryland or virginia at their place

GOD DAMMIT WHY COULDNT WE BEAT UNC AND THEIR 8 MCDONALDS ALL AMERICANS

2/23/2013 6:06:03 PM

We will probably get to the ACC semifinals and then probably the round of 32 (maybe even 16!) and have a nice little season and we will all go yay! they played so well! and go back to having no banners in 30 years while Duke and UNC continue to pack our shit

2/23/2013 6:06:32 PM

I'm curious as to what those of you who think one game is a signal that we're terrible want. Are you the people who want to have sex with Rick Barnes still?

2/23/2013 6:07:16 PM

He's on par with lowe right now and I'd argue Herb's recruiting was better because he recruited players who actually had brains.

lewis purvis warren vs. brown harrow leslie?
howell wood painter vs anya and barber?

tracy smith was an absolute man. Pretty comparable recruiting imho.

Our defense and free throw shooting fundamentals are worse than ever.
Our offense is better with Gott but thats it.

Quote :

" those of you who think one game is a signal that we're terrible "

one game? its more like 2 seasons. We've had about 5 or 6 good games since Gott arrived

[Edited on February 23, 2013 at 6:08 PM. Reason : we've had way more wtf games than good games. ]

2/23/2013 6:07:39 PM

we can still lose to UNC in the acc tourney and give them the season series...haha

yeah, he should recruit PGs like Javi Gonzales

So what's the answer, guys? Bring back Lowe? Or are you of the "WE MUST DEMAND GREATNESS, WE CAN USE OUR TRADITION TO GET PHIL JACKSON" mindset?

[Edited on February 23, 2013 at 6:10 PM. Reason : x]

2/23/2013 6:09:22 PM

Richard Howell is the only dude that shows up every damn game. He needs to kick CJ in the junk to wake him up.

2/23/2013 6:09:32 PM

emp;dr

2/23/2013 6:09:35 PM

so lowe's recruiting and herb's coaching vs Gott?

2/23/2013 6:10:38 PM

Man if we could only hang banners for being the best in the state! Gosh! then we would have....zero more since Valvano

2/23/2013 6:10:45 PM

lowe's poing guards player for calipari right now so thats not much of an argument.

2/23/2013 6:10:56 PM

I'm tired of being the goddamn red headed stepchild, goddammit! Fuck UNC!

Quote :

"Gosh! then we would have....zero more since Valvano"

More like zero since Norm Sloan.

Look at who they put in the NBA in the 80s vs. us. Ooooh! Thurl Bailey! Chucky Brown!

We've gone from expecting massive failures and sweeps every year irregardless to splitting the series. Our odds of making a run in the ACCT vs. Miami and either Duke or UVA or UNC is much higher than it was under Herb.

Wait out, hoping we win an ACC title under Gott and hope the State job becomes somewhat attractive to top coaches in the future

2/23/2013 6:13:01 PM

CJ Leslie IS Brandon Costner...what a disappointment

2/23/2013 6:13:34 PM

we wouldve definitely won this game if Bubbleguts was still our point guard

his back to back zero point games versus Tennessee and Florida are evidence of that

2/23/2013 6:13:38 PM

hiring a top coach from a major program is not the key. we just need to hire a decent coach from a smaller school. virginia did it. miami did it. its not that difficult.
