Nothing else to do? Catch UNC-Asheville take on Ohio State in the NIT.
7pm on ESPN2. It would be pretty funny if ASU beat Michigan in football and then UNCA beats the Buckeyes in basketball in the same season. Anyways, a good chacne to see UNCA big man Kenny George (I think that’s his name) in action. I think he only plays about 15 mis a game, but he is 7′7″?!?!? He can dunk without leaving the ground, we’ll just leave it at that.
The Chapel Hill News sports writer Eddy Landreth (send him an email) pridefully climbed upon his soap box (I’m sure the editor has a loaner that gets passed around the ‘news’ room) Sunday morning and proceeded to inform the public of how ashamed NC State ought to be of the now infamous Hansbrough bloody nose poster hoisted up by a member of the NCState baseball team at the State – Carolina game.
In the article, Landreth demands that the State player be suspended from the baseball team, and in his words, “so should Wolfpack baseball coach Elliott Avent for allowing it”! HAHAHAHA What a loser!
What really gets me is this line: “Mocking a serious injury, one that could have been even worse had Hansbrough been knocked unconscious and hit his head on the floor, should not be acceptable.” What kind of failed logic is this?
‘You shouldn’t be so mean, he coulda been really hurt, whaaaa!’
And if my Aunt had a beard, she’d be my Uncle. The fact is that he wasn’t hurt that bad, so get over it. If he would have been really hurt no one would be making fun of him. But since he plays mad as a hatter (hence the nickname Psycho T) he places himself in a position to get physically injured.
Oh, and here’s where he gets down to the brass tacks: “And before all you Duke and State fans bother writing hate mail, just save your fingers. If you have an ounce of human decency, you know that baseball player acted wrongly.” HAHAHAHAHA. Oh my gosh, this guy must be one over the eight.
I implore each one of you who reads this post to send this guy an email, be sure to read his article first though so you can make your own informed response. I don’t want to be responsible for anything I may have unintentionally misrepresented.
So, I just woke up. Whereas when I was a child, my dad and I would pour through the News & Observer on Saturday mornings (Sports section, used cars, yard sales, the funnies, you know, back when they were actually funny!), alas, I am now part of the age of the Internet. So, I now click on my bookmarks in my Firefox toolbar on Saturday mornings.
Well, after watching the App State game last night (and what a terrific game it was!) I headed to my morning paper to see what they had to say. First I head to ESPN…
(more…)
But apparently this dude has. Or maybe he’s seen it? Or maybe he should not be reporting on collge basketball? On ESPN.com, Kyle Whelliston writes:
The lower seating bowl, alive with color, stood two-thirds red and one-third Duke blue. But it wasn’t the crimson of the NC State Wolfpack. No, the 11,000-strong crowd was dominated by Wildcat faithful.
Wow, I had no idea our colors involved crimson! This guy is a reporter in NC, there’s no excuse for this ignorance.
Matt Carter at TheWolfpacker.com reports that “Former NC State commitment Sam Jones has come home. The Fuquay-Varina High product committed to NC State in 2007 but had to enroll at Hargrave Military Academy to improve his academics.”
Thanks to my friend Choppy for passing this along to me (before StateFansNation posted it).
