based on skill, humor, appearence, whatever...

Im gonna go with Hyatt

one ugly cat

If I'm choosing from my lifetime, there are still many choices....

Gainey for his heart. Playing all 40 minutes of every game in the ACC tourney that year was epic.


Maybe Todd Fuller for being a great student, in addition to being a great player.


Perhaps Googs for being the lone bright spot of actual NBA ability in a dark period.


I might have to go with Hodge, though. He arrived at State the same time as me, and I think really represented our return to, if not our former glory, then at least respectability on a national stage.

3/2/2006 2:52:09 AM

yea Hodge Character wise...he was something else to listen to and see lead a team

Googs is a good one, i have Tshirts from his times here

Archie is up there for me, gave us short white boys hope

3/2/2006 2:55:24 AM

I grew up watching Fire and Ice, but I mean, I was really young at the time (<10).

Wish I could remember more of them being here. Of course, I didn't bump into (literally) Corch in the concourse last Saturday.

3/2/2006 3:01:04 AM

i didnt even know ncsu existed til about 95ish, so i have a limited background. having said that, it'd be a toss up between hodge and grundy, probably leanin toward hodge.

3/2/2006 3:34:07 AM

Gavin Grant

3/2/2006 3:36:57 AM

either archie or grundy or rivers. maybe bennerman just for that beautiful dunk over sheldon and the permanent 'i dont give a fuck' look on his face.

it's a tough call.

3/2/2006 4:39:49 AM

football: Torry Holt
basketball: Kenny Inge

3/2/2006 6:27:32 AM

brian feggins for taking a bullet and coming back and playing ball

tremayne stephens for being a real running back and not some overhyped chump


googs for shaking my hand and being ridiculously cool to me and my sister when we were visiting campus. i was like 12 or so.


justin gainey, anthony grundy, damon thornton, kenny inge, ron kelly, and corndog, who all made my freshman year at state one hell of a ride.

3/2/2006 6:51:47 AM

No Ishua Benjamin fans?

Charles Shackleford

3/2/2006 9:36:38 AM

I didn't watch any State sports before I came here, so my time would only apply since 2000....

which means I'd have to go with Phil.

3/2/2006 9:43:06 AM

I think i was just C.C. Harris, but idk, and he was def. my favorite basketball player!

I think he hit a winning 3 pointer at the buzzer to beat wake at wake, i was there. And I am positive he wasnt behind the line, and the refs gave him the 3 for the 1 point victory!

3/2/2006 10:08:48 AM

Rivers has to be my favorite, his years here get more and more legendary every season without him. A true once in a generation player

3/2/2006 10:10:24 AM

CC Harris?!?!?!?!


in that case, my favorite players were Josh Pow and Mike O'Don

3/2/2006 10:12:25 AM

football: rivers
basketball: corchiani

3/2/2006 10:14:28 AM

Torry Holt and Marcus Melvin

C.C. Harrison

pretty hard for me to believe he was your favorite player considering you dont even know his name

3/2/2006 11:27:50 AM

Anthony Grundy

3/2/2006 11:30:33 AM

What no Chris Washburn?

Ill say mine are:
Football: Levar Fisher/Torry Holt
Basketball: Cameron Bennerman, seriously. He is more exciting than any player we have had going back to the Monroe and Corchiani days.

I don't remember what game it was, but it was on R/JP. Home game at Reynolds, of course. The intro was about how overlooked Ishua was. It was really cheesy, though, because it had a few shots of some guy pointing to his eye or something and saying, "I" followed by a shot of a foot stamping into the ground, "Shoe!" followed by a shot of some guy looking puzzled, saying, "Whaaa?"

I don't know why, but I've remembered that ever since. Surely someone else can remember seeing that, too.

3/2/2006 12:40:11 PM

3/2/2006 3:42:50 PM

TIM WELLS

and honorable mention to Cliff Crawford because we (CENSORED SO AS NOT TO INCRIMINATE)

3/2/2006 3:44:27 PM

^^

Jeremy, or as we called him, Al.

Adam Harrington......oh wait. no.

3/2/2006 3:56:11 PM

bill cowher

3/2/2006 3:57:43 PM

Basketball Ball
Lorenzo Charles?
Kenny Inge...my family has a phrase "Kenny Inge timeout" because whenever he hit the deck and could maybe be hurt he layed there for at least a minute before getting up and being fine.
Damon Thorton for dunking over people even if it was a charge half the time
CC Harrison because "6'6'' senior CC Harrison" just sounds so cool
Curtis Marshall because he had a high top
Luke Buffum for coming of the bench and beating duke in the ACC tourney when justin played the whole entire time, and for having a name that spawned many cheers
...ill stop now

Football
Jamie Barnett, because he got HIT, HARD, A LOT and still got back up each time till he completed a pass to Torry Holt
and gotta show love for Terrence Holt special teams and punk blocks

3/2/2006 4:11:02 PM

I'm going to have to go with Marcus Melvin's mom ... I miss having a parent on the team that gets out there and gets involved with the students and such ... not to mention I miss the gapped teeth duo

3/2/2006 4:23:45 PM

Kristian Jensen
Adam Petty
Justin Flatt
Dominic Mejia

3/2/2006 4:31:59 PM

^ Adam Simons

3/2/2006 4:33:33 PM

Hodge, for serious. He just had something about him that is severely (and obviously) lacking from the team this year, and I'm not talking about leadership.

"Kristian Jensen"

You dug deep for that one. When was he here like 2000? Why did Herb even offer him a scholarship? Michael Bell too, he was such a bust.

3/2/2006 11:30:59 PM

Didn't we sign Mike Bell over Chris Wilcox? I'm pretty sure Wilcox wanted to come to State and we chose Bell.


That's about as bad choosing Cliff Crawford over Steve Blake (Although I fucking hate Steve Blake, he was a baller)

3/2/2006 11:34:32 PM

the bell over wilcox was way worse


then again herb would just piss away their talent anyways

3/2/2006 11:37:23 PM

Neither was as bad as Matt Doherty taking Jackie Manuel over Julius Hodge

(Although, I think it could have been in part becuase he realized Hodge was NCSU bound.. but at the point they got Manuel, UNC was one of his co-leaders with State)

[Edited on March 2, 2006 at 11:39 PM. Reason : ]

3/2/2006 11:38:55 PM

prolly Grundy.

he was the only player that actually talked to me a lot at Herb BBall camp back in the day.
