Always here for the joy and optimism Joe

All of the stuff I listened to in high school is older than the classic rock channel my parents listened to

It's weird they don't just use the same refs for both at this point though. Most of these guys work every night for like four consecutive months. Pretty sure they can handle a Friday Saturday in the same location

One of the more entertaining final few minutes of a game I can remember. Both those teams are real good

I understand math pretty well and know that parlays are stupid and still get roped into the '30% boost on 3-leg same game parlay' stuff all the time. It is very effective! And probably shouldn't be legal

Yes we 100% know that these places make almost all of their money on parlays and are allowed to constantly push those in advertising and app boosts. Push the parlay angle its the real crime being committed here by these companies.

The Man of the People is too busy selling tickets to coach these days 🙂

It was 6.5 this morning, very glad I did not take the cover because those two meaningless FTs would have burned me

I am fine with Tre, but will agree with the other three and put Wade at No. 2 with a big gap between him and Wade. Also Wade's defensive philosophy has to be up there.

Matt Abel - defensive lapses because he's a freshman and loses his assignment

Darrion Williams - defensive lapses because he just doesn't seem to care

Competitive game for a solid 25 minutes this time, big improvement

Frustrating but necessary player, State would have been even more cooked without him

..... and its gone

Down one only scoring 32 is about as good as you could have hoped for given the first halves of the other two games

Williams makes the dumbest fouls sometimes

I have a good friend who has been in AA since age 19 and mostly has had no issues obviously a few college parties where assholes are gonna be assholes but after like 22 nothing

One day Cal or Stanford will win a football/basketball title in the Atlantic Coast Conference, achieving Reverse Manifest Destiny. But alas, not this week.

Sidney Lowe approved storyline

I guess we say this every year but I do watch NC State and say 'this team doesn't deserve to make the tournament' but then you watch Cal or Indiana get absolutely smoked and go 'oh okay yeah I guess State deserves to make it'

If a Dem did it every day half a dozen times the outrage would be the same.

Was prepared to be very mad about this post until I reached the punchline

I do not begrudge anyone who still uses it for sports stuff, even if I personally will not use it. We all make morally grey choices every day

Since its only going to last another 24 hours, I love the stat that NC State has not lost an ACCT game since 2023.

I have to tag @lukedecock.bsky.social explicitly here

I will be presenting to about 75 people during most of the State game today and will likely watch zero minutes. None of this is particularly upsetting

The entirety of Jesus teachings about loving each other and treating everyone with dignity regardless of social standing or nationality: 😴

One verse referencing a sword: See he wants us to buy guns!

The hair, the giant ring, the loafers. Absolute chef's kiss

This is incredible because I did not know Ayers could pull off a 'mobster vacationing in Boca' vibe and he does it.

(I also feel like giving Able a vote of confidence going into NIL negotiations wouldn't hurt, but probably does not matter that much either since its almost certainly $$ considerations)

Yep I noticed that in my post-Stanford tirade. I think they are a better team with Able in his spot because he's not a rebounder either. I get why Able isn't taking his starting spot but he's a better rebounder/scorer than Williams at this point in the season.
