Rodon pitching a no hitter and has 5 RBI. He's a stud.

Haha... not our rival...

6/16/2013 4:36:43 PM

I'm sure they will be bitching about Armstrong not making an attempt to get out of the way.

6/16/2013 4:41:05 PM

wait, UNC is our rival? WHAAAAAT?!?!

6/16/2013 4:41:58 PM

They should get to play shit teams that barely got out of their regional and super regional games.

6/16/2013 4:42:36 PM

UNC never gets a break

6/16/2013 4:43:25 PM

they've now taken to the opinion that we should've saved Rodon for LSU, basically saying we would've easily won this game without him...and saying we have Rodon on the mound because this game is more important to us than the CWS...i love it

6/16/2013 4:43:32 PM

6/16/2013 4:48:08 PM

They should have saved the ACC player of the year for ucla. Pitching him against us shows this game means more to them.

6/16/2013 4:48:19 PM

Look at those racist State fans. Holding up their KKK signs.

typical IC banter between 2 posters...one realizes Rodon is a beast, the other apparently has worked in baseball for 45 years and knows everything...read from the bottom up

It's no secret that nc state football players use steroids as at least 6 guys have been caught, 2 of which were suspended by the ncaa. Can't recall the name, but one of their LB's was forced by ncaa to sit as penalty all of 2012 seasons for PED's. He returns eligible this fall."

i sat down to read all 16 pages of the game thread and figured i'd make a like story of the game from a unc fan's perspective.

Quote :

"Hoping we smack Rodon around early and often. Jump on em Boys! GO TAR HEELS!!! Let the conspiracy theories begin. Easy call to make, and I didn't even know the rule. Ugh...we start out down again. Better hope Rodon is off today. And we better have the pen ready for a long day. Just hope we're ready for the most dominant lefty we've faced all year. We have to get out on him early. Can't let Rodon settle into a rhythm. Have to score 1 to win anyway Lassiter had no chance once he got behind in the count. As a hitter, you're basically done if you get 0-2 or 1-2 because of that slider. It's just so depressing at how few (zero that inning and almost none ever against him) we actually square up. We had no good contact that inning. According to the announcer, apparently our "rivalry" with state doesn't come with a lot of the hatred of other rivalries. lolz. Not sure which was more idiotic, the fact that Raleigh is "eight miles" from Chapel Hill or that UNC/State doesn't have the same hatred. If you've lived in North Carolina during our football scandal the past 3-4 years, you know what it means to hate state. There fan base alone makes you hate them. It seems as though our batters cannot barreled up anything from Rodon.. Prediction...NCSU wins 2-0 on a complete game shutout for Rodon When you are leading the nation in RBI's and just got drafted #6 fouling several pitches off then striking out with RISP doesn't earn you kudos. Rodon with these ******* sliders. AGHHHHH Stubbs with 2 swings at pitches about 2 feet out of the zone We need to get a hit. Rodon looks nasty today. Our hitters are behind in the count every single AB. We have no chance if this continues. Same old story. Good grief! You would think after facing Rodon sonny times our guys would have a clue. We might have beaten this guy before but there is no doubt he has our number. The other factor that kills us is that he has dominated Landon more than any other hitter in our order this year. Landon hasn't sniffed him. And he's a righty bat. So we don't have many weapons at all 1-9. Blinked and we were back on the mound. Rodon not even close on the first AB of the game against Chaz, then Chaz yells to the dugout, Rodon stares him down, and since then no one has come even close. Get him out now! We go down two and you can hang it up. And Mike Fox waiting too long to make a pitching change. Seen this before...SMH, this game is over Rodon could pitch 27 innings and this lead is still safe. I can't believe this. Emanuel can't even give us three solid innings again. He just has no confidence at all right now. A 4-0 lead is more than enough for Rodon at this point. We are ******. lol, might as well leave him in to pitch a complete game, save our bullpen for the losers bracket game Announcers are talking about arm abuse now -- not good PR. And they probably aren't wrong whether we (or Fox) want to admit it or not. I've never be so embarrassed. What a joke. I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY want us to get our first hit soon. Its like our hitters are batting blind folded. Rodon is just embarrassing them. This team is terrified of Rodon. Absolutely terrified. Just wanted to say **** the NCAA for setting up this match up. There's no way the #1 national seed should have to face its in-state rival against the likely #1 pick next season for the 3rd time this season. The worst thing is that, regardless of what happens in this game and the rest of the CWS, we will have to go against Rodon next season too. I REALLY WANT US TO GET A HIT SOON. JUST A HIT. THE PRESSURE IS MOUNTING. We all need to start talking about the no hitter so we jinx it. Can you imagine going into work tomorrow (for those who live in NC) after a 7-0 no hitter in the CWS? Now that we have a hit, I can go back to golf. You and many others don't seem to understand that that slider looks 100% exactly like the fastball....until it moves out of the way. There is no adjustment to make. This is why he would be the #1 overall pick this year (and likely will next year for real) Yeah, it's like folks haven't ever played baseball before. "Just move up in the box"...."just sit on the slider"..."stop getting behind in the count"... I mean, COME ON. Do you guys think our roster is full of horrible hitters? Look at our numbers through 67 games...that is a huge sample size!!! We are LOADED with good hitters. We are facing a GREAT, GREAT pitcher. the Heat will probably win tonight, too What a limp d*** effort this has been. On pace for 2nd shutout in last 3 games. You'd think Butch Davis was coaching this team the way we folded against the Pack. Not that we were going to score 8, but Moran has just been a rally killer lately. UNC falls into the losers' bracket with a 8-1 loss to N.C. State. One of Baseball America's best writers (Ben Badler) said Rodon would have shut down AT LEAST a AA line-up today."

^That logic is terrible and makes no sense. No one gets trophies for winning the regular season in professional sports, because winning the regular season doesn't mean jack shit if you fall apart in the post-season.

6/17/2013 8:19:35 AM

That's not true. Every major soccer league on the planet, for example, crowns their champion based on the regular season.

Members of the media with zero journalistic integrity will continue relying on PackPride to basically write their articles for them. It wasn't long ago TheBigLead ran a story trying to use a youtube video to prove an agent named Blackstock was behind PJ Hairston's mess... and that came entirely from PackPride. Now the News and Observer (which lent the story out to their sister publication the Charlotte Observer) is pointing fingers at this Howard fellow because PackPride claims he is the latest piece of UNC corruption.

"This story has received a lot of attention in the news and how your rights are impeded by law enforcement during DUI Checkpoints: MURFREESBORO, Tenn. - A driver recorded his stop during a DUI checkpoint in Rutherford County and uploaded the video to YouTube.

where do you think they get that from? is it just because we're a "cow college"? i assume a lot of it is because there are some openly racist posters on pack pride.... but i'd assume there are just as many on IC.

^Because a few people have painted racist stuff in the free expression tunnel...oh and somebody on TWW once said "get a rope"...and some douchebag that was running for SBP called somebody a raghead...clearly our entire fanbase is the most openly racist in the country

" In addition to the avalanche of racial slurs that anyone, including impressionable children, can see on their fan's message board, I've unfortunately been around some nc state fans over the years....some I've known, and some that I've encountered in various social settings. AT LEAST half of these folks, including the family members of my old girlfriend, are confederate battle flag-worshipping, Jim Crow "old" South-loving bigots. Period. The refrain from these clowns is the same, "state coaches just recruit "clean black boys, but y'all just recruit....[I won't type the well-known pathetic word that state fans UNAPOLOGETICALLY use]" Some of you, be in denial if you wish, but there is a reason that nc state university has "earned" the title, "most OPENLY racist fanbase in America."
