Quote : | " Except it's not the coach, the fans or the local media that covers NC State making things irrational. It's the national folks driving the hype machine for a change.
It's important to point this out because if the Wolfpack don't live up to that hype, it's highly probable the stories blaming fans for expecting to much out of NC State based on a couple weeks of great play last season have already been written and produced. Pack fans always seem to take the bait and give them what they want -- reaction and web hits" |

^^ I definitely don't disagree with that. Outside of a handful of games at the end of last season, we haven't proven a whole lot. And while we've got a great recruiting class and great returning players, we still have question marks. I'm loving the hype and am on the edge of my seat for basketball season...but I'm not sure I'm buying us as a top 5 team just yet.

If you objectively look at the college basketball landscape there simply isn't much returning talent relative to usual so it makes sense we are ranked highly.
Unfortunately since Jaybee went to a SEC school that wasn't Kentucky no one will be objective 10/17/2012 1:02:03 PM |

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Richard Howell can't seem to get to class on time these days.
It may not go over well with his professors, but the North Carolina State senior forward has a pretty good excuse. Too many of Howell's classmates are excited about the upcoming college basketball season and want to talk about the high expectations surrounding the Wolfpack.
"You can leave 15-20 minutes early, and people are still going to stop you," Howell said at Atlantic Coast Conference media day Wednesday. "That's nothing to complain about it. It's just crazy. You take a dramatic turn and so many people start liking you.
"I take the same route to class as I did since freshman year, and I was never thrown off track until the Sweet 16. It's definitely a good problem to have. … One person comes, then the next person comes, then I'm late to class."
N.C. State was picked by ACC coaches to finish first in the conference this season, and coaches also picked the Wolfpack to sweep the individual awards -- C.J. Leslie as the ACC player of the year and Rodney Purvis as the ACC freshman of the year.
That's high praise in this conference. Since 2003, Duke or North Carolina has won at least a share of every ACC regular season championship. But both teams saw key players exhaust their eligibility or leave in the NBA draft in the offseason. N.C. State returns four starters from last season's 24-13 team that made a surprising run to the NCAA tournament's Sweet 16.
Howell said that when he gets stopped on the way to class, his fellow classmates don't waste time. They "skip talking about the ACC championship and go straight to talking about the NCAA championship," he said.
No matter what the subject matter, it's making him tardy.
"I have class at 11:40, and the latest I've been was probably 11:53," the 6-8 Howell said with a laugh. "It's not that bad, but when you're probably the biggest person walking into class and you're last, everyone turns to look."

Damn this feels weird...in our last football game we beat the #3 team in country on 4th down conversion with less than :20. But all I can think about is basketball season now that the polls and preseason hoopla is coming out.
