Uh I don't even want to THINK what this place would be like if Cal says NO.

First off I hope he doesn't from a program stand point and second this place would be unreadable for a year..

[Edited on April 11, 2006 at 2:51 PM. Reason : V huh? I'm guessing we MIGHT have seen that posted..]

4/11/2006 2:50:08 PM

he already said no

4/11/2006 2:50:46 PM

yeah, i have a bad feeling about this

4/11/2006 2:52:06 PM

HIGHS, LOWS, HIGHS LOWS.

Are you sure you people aren't on some kind of bipolar medication?

4/11/2006 2:55:21 PM

I have a feeling this will all be over within a couple weeks

4/11/2006 3:04:40 PM

any rumors that are not complete bull that are newer than espns 9am update?

4/11/2006 3:05:37 PM

Quote :

"That tale, the quintessential John Calipari story, is why he is the perfect coach for North Carolina State, and the Wolfpack know it. It is not because of who he would make happy (State alums), but who he would drive nuts, namely Mike Krzyzewski and Roy Williams"

Quote :

"That has to be what State really wants – to be relevant, to be feared, to matter again to its local rivals, Duke and North Carolina. To get that, it has to have a coach who will get under the big two's skin, wage war in the media, steal recruits and road wins, basically give the Wolfpack both the bark and the bite they've lacked. "

Quote :

"In the calm, genteel ACC, where negative words aren't supposed to be uttered, where sacred cows still are sacred, where a controversy is to suggest Duke gets a favorable whistle, this would be wild. If he takes the job, soon enough he'll be nose-to-nose with Williams, soon enough he'll have infuriated Krzyzewski, soon enough he'll orchestrate a fight with another ACC school (no doubt with that coach's approval) in an effort to start a hot new rivalry which he'll claim is more intense than Duke-Carolina. Soon enough N.C. State will go from the other school in the Triangle to a brash, badgering, championship-caliber equal, a program that matters, a team to be feared, to be given attention. "

David Glenn is on 850 pleading with state fans to not get too excited until we know for sure.

4/11/2006 3:09:38 PM

jaybee,

you suck at life.

4/11/2006 3:09:47 PM

we are gonna lose simmons and calipari

4/11/2006 3:10:35 PM

today's been a slow day. doesn't sound like good news.

and i was really hoping for a press conference today.

i just want to sleep until we have a new coach. i think i am.

4/11/2006 3:12:55 PM

you should worry less about me and focus on not being the laughing stock of Sports Talk


you very likely could know less about sports than BareDogg

4/11/2006 3:14:07 PM

i don't think we will get cal

4/11/2006 3:14:32 PM

apparently Glenn was just on 850 saying he would be back for more on coaching situation at 4, and he said that there is a chance that there will be an answer in the next hour

he also said something to the extent that fans need to make sure not to get hopes up, and if they get hopes up too high it could be a huge letdown

we shall see

4/11/2006 3:15:10 PM

i agree, this is starting to feel a lot like the afternoon WRAL first broke the barnes thing, tons of positive shit the night before and the morning of, then the tone turned a bit negative, and then came the gut punch....

hope i am wrong....Cal would be perfect for our program!

i'd say closer to 99.9%

4/11/2006 3:19:45 PM

Why is this poll getting so negative all of a sudden? Have hope people, these decisions take time, and plus, ESPN said that he should make a decision within the next day or two, so quit whining, and be patient...


With all that being said, CALIPARI FOR NC STATE BASKETBALL

4/11/2006 3:23:38 PM

UT has the 3rd ranked recruiting class now...

4/11/2006 3:23:47 PM

choke on a bucket of nails

4/11/2006 3:24:58 PM

99.9% of you self-defeatist pessimists need to go ahead and shoot yourselves in the head and get it overwith now.

You must live horrible, depressing lives.

You will be happy to know though that Jimmy Clausen told UT no, so hes definitely doing ND now

i dont even know what you are talking about

4/11/2006 3:29:18 PM

english please

4/11/2006 3:30:33 PM

ummm

regardless, it has nothing to do with calipari, so laaaaaaaaater

4/11/2006 3:31:47 PM

younger brother of Casey and "Dick" Clausen... would have been the #1 recruit this year as a junior... Weis has been drooling over him since he took the ND job, supposed to be one of the best QB prospects ever, was basically down to UT and ND, and his dad flew to Knoxville this past weekend to tell the staff that he wasnt coming to UT.

4/11/2006 3:34:13 PM

haha, i know who clausen is

i didnt know what you were talking about when you said UT was #3, but i figured it out

4/11/2006 3:35:08 PM

dude

keep your stupid shit out of this thread

all stupid shit needs to be related to NCSU's basketball coach

4/11/2006 3:35:11 PM

^^ Okay, this is the "Bring In Calipari" thread, not the "UT's #3 recruiting's class", who at State honestly gives a care right now.... All we want is Calipari!

[Edited on April 11, 2006 at 3:36 PM. Reason : Supporting the above guy]

4/11/2006 3:36:08 PM

Calipari looks like to becoming here unless Mempis really really up what we are offering. Check out the link from SI.com
