"he said in summary that we have offered a great deal and he they (the athletic dept) are very very confident that he is our next coach....they believe he will sign and be named coach tonight or tomorrow and thats all i got...he said "its all but locked up"....i'm a skeptic and really really want to believe him 100%...then again i'm a State fan so i gotta stay a little grounded here "

"From IC: "My inside very reliable source just emailed me this. (Assistant Coach from un-named college) just left my office and said Rick Barnes to NC State was a done deal for $2 million a year...said Frank Haith was offered the Oklahoma job, but Barnes called him and told him he was leaving and that he would recommend him for the Texas job...take it for what it is worth!" Hope it is true, woofies. It will be good for the rivalry "

4/5/2006 4:13:58 PM

Keep the rumor mill churning!

4/5/2006 4:15:27 PM

Im not doubting your source... but if there was going to be a press conference tonite at 6pm, it would be ALL OVER the place by now...

serious talk there

4/5/2006 4:16:41 PM

Are you saying 6PM today?

4/5/2006 4:16:44 PM

there would be NOTHING better than having a coach like Barnes who absolutely DESPISES UNC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


well, maybe beating them.

but still, he abhors unc.

4/5/2006 4:16:57 PM

^^^I totally agree. Someone has just decided that it's time to make shit up. We'd know if there were to be a press conference today at 6.

the 6pm PC is bullshit

4/5/2006 4:18:09 PM

If Rick Barnes is as secretive as people say, he could be having an impromtu press conference i guess?

4/5/2006 4:18:21 PM

Yea I think we would know if there would be a press conference for sure, there could be leak to announce it though as there was for Sendek.

apparantly this was a joke started by some tarholes on the IC board.

He says Ha because the premium boards have nothing.

4/5/2006 4:20:56 PM

**BREAKING NEWS**

There will be a press conference at 6PM today at UNC to announce an amazing discovery!

The discovery is that ALL UNC FANS/ALUMNI/STAFF are in fact Douchebag-asshats, with nothing better to do than talk shit about NC State in the offseason. Stay tuned for more details.

4/5/2006 4:21:31 PM

Let's let the collective PackPride boards coach our team.

FAGS.

Here is another article to show why I miss herb so very much and wish he was still here.....

Quote :

" DALLAS — The question was inevitable. Not long after Texas' 75-54 victory over N.C. State in the NCAA Tournament, a reporter for The New York Times quizzed NCSU coach Herb Sendek as to why the Pack didn't offer Longhorns star P.J. Tucker a scholarship. Tucker is from Raleigh. He went to Enloe High. He just finished a junior season at Texas in which he was the Big 12 Conference player of the year. So why didn't State ... "We don't discuss recruiting decisions," Sendek said. "He has had a terrific career at Texas." And that was that. "

hahahahahha

from insidecarolina's board:

"I also have a reliable source. He said that Chuck Amato's right breast will be the interim coach for the NCSU basketball team."

not far from the truth:

"He says Ha because the premium boards have nothing."

Guys

The packpride thread is four times as big as this thread.

Feel ashamed.

4/5/2006 4:36:32 PM

you should be ashamed...

tww = 50 posts per page
packpride = 20 posts per page

4/5/2006 4:40:19 PM

That's because most of us have interest, but have classes or work to do. Over at PrickPride, they have all the time in the world to hash and rehash their options and wear out their wrists over certain issues....

4/5/2006 4:41:08 PM

I think they are about to give an update on ESPN Hot List on ESPN 2

Any chance on Mike Montgomery or will it be a mid-major coach like Marshall or Turgeon? Thanks! SportsNation Andy Katz: (4:30 PM ET ) Don't be shoc ked to see Larranaga or Brady. No way does Montgomery leave the Warriors and millions on the table. "

4/5/2006 4:52:04 PM

^^^^Katz has certainly talked to him directly im sure

it would have already been made public that he will turn down our offer if we make one
