If you are hiring someone out of a college in the Triangle area, make sure they went to NC State. UNC and Duke grads are useless.
North Carolina is just an all around bad place to live.
IMNSHO.
The natives are nice, but are few and far between.
Them thar are some purdy harsh words from Jay Bilas of ESPN!
I bet you're just loving this aren't you? Just remember, Roy won't be around forever (bet he doesn't carry as much cash to courtside as Dean did either...). Sooner or later Carrboro Community College is going to have their down years....
If you go to the source, it's a site that claims to be a "sports humor and satire site".
Thank goodness! This just seemed too absurd to be true ... although these days one can't be too sure.
I notice you don't have the nerve to put YOUR STATE flag on your FR home page so the rest of us can criticize your state.
One good thing about living here is you're don't.
I think not only the free tickets (which is a GREAT idea,) but they could also buy him a coke at halftime.
Now THAT would seal the deal for me!
Aww, come on, bb. This is high comedy. You can't wear a clown nose, then get all huffy if people laugh at you. Poking a little fun at one's rivals are what rivalries are all about. I seem to recall that the Anybody But Carolina crowd had a lot of fun during the Doherty disaster.
Of course the shoe will be on the other foot some day. Don't begrudge us a little fun while we have the opportunity.
As it happens, I have almost as many ties to NCSU as I do to my alma mater, UNC -- two siblings graduated from State, a niece and a nephew are currently enrolled, my late uncle taught chemistry there for years. I do not wish for, nor do I predict, long-term harm to State's basketball program. But, come on -- the situation is humorous. Is NCSU really going to pay a $3 mil buyout, plus a salary substantially higher than Herb's, to get an older version of Herb?
Yes, of course it's satire. Pretty well done, too, of you can overlook the glaring grammatical error ("they're" rather than "their") in the fourth paragraph. I hope it wasn't written by a UNC grad!
If NC State gets Beilein from West Virginia ... as is the hot rumor today ... they are getting one fine basketball coach.
Or this:
Season tickets to the UNC, Duke games is a big deal.
A few months ago I tried to get tickets for a jock relative's visit.
Went online, cheapest ticket I could find was $1300.
I think Herb was a fine coach and NC State made a huge mistake dumping him.
If I were a coach and offered the job, I'd think twice, three times before accepting the position.
This is getting embarassing.
How many have said no so far?
my late uncle taught chemistry there for years
Please, please tell me your uncle's initials weren't G.G.L.
Nope. His initials were W.R.J.
To me, Uncle Billy.
Alright then ;) I was there in the late 80s. The head of the Chem department wrote the book (classroom and lab) and couldn't teach worth a flip. There was only one other professor that taught Chem 101 at the time and everybody wanted him instead.
Whatever they are doing, it ain't working:
West Virginia's Beilein Not Headed To N.C. State

RALEIGH, N.C. -- For the past week, N.C. State's search for a new men's basketball coach has focused on former UCLA coach Steve Lavin and West Virginia coach John Beilein. Now, it appears that both men are out of the running.
