So sorry!
Neglected to ping you to #20, where "sarasmom responds to Howlin".

Missed meeting you at various and sundry FReepworthy "occasions" also.

But have a nice day!

North Carolina is just an all around bad place to live.

As a native who can trace his ancestors back over 270 years in this state (the European side, the Cherokee side has been here much longer), please let me know what I can personally do to help you in your move to whatever state you came from if you hate it so much

The natives are nice, but are few and far between.

No there are plenty of native citizens. We just don't like people coming down here telling us what's wrong with our state and trying to change it to, and I quote every damn yankee I've ever met, 'how we did it back home'.

Take offense, don't take offense. I don't care. I'm sick and tired of non-natives (especially those coming from northern climates) telling me how bad my home state is. I-95 runs north and South. However if you head South, don't stop until you reach Florida. There's a big clump of yankees down that way I hear.

Never encountered you here either.

I promise never to stay a single day in North Carolina again, once I leave this place.

That you just proved my point is unneeded verification of my opinion, but I appreciate your correcting me on the misconception that I harbored about it being the transplants that made this state "not a nice place to live".

Thank you.

sarasmom, apparently you've had an unpleasant experience in your brief stay in North Carolina; if so, as a several-generation native, I truly regret that. But I must say I am perplexed by your attack.

Let's review. I posted what was clearly (or so I thought) a piece of satire concerning the difficulties being experienced by North Carolina State University in hiring a new basketball coach. I thought it was a fairly clever piece; I expected that I would get a rise out of State fans, and in this I was not disappointed. All in good fun.

You, however, chose to use the article as an excuse to launch a blanket attack on the entire state. While of course I disagree with your opinion of North Carolina as "just an all around bad place to live," I am more perplexed as to why you picked this particular spot to open fire. What under God's yellow sun does your response at post 3 have to do with the thread's subject?

[Howlin]

It bothers me when you don't say where YOU are from.

I'll warn the people in Florida.

[Howlin]

Lots of people work out personal issues on the internet, SNC; you know that by now.

Beilein says no; so does Lavin.

Phil Ford?

Fowler: Lavin, Beilien dropped due to Al-Qaeda links

Citing recently released CIA photographs he found on the internet, Lee Fowler has dropped both Steve Lavin and John Beilien from consideration for the eternal vacancy.

"Mr. Murphy don't want no turrist, so them boys is off th' list", said Fowler.

Search committee chief advisor Milburn Drysdale was unavailable for comment.

Were you so interested in learning about NC that you might have ASKED to be on the NC Ping List? I don't see your name on the ping list.

Have a gas in Florida.

[Alia]

lol! There, there....

[Constitution Day]

It's very discouraging, so what can I do but laugh about it? :)

[Alia]

Amen to that. Libbies will be hoisted on their own petards. They obviously insist on it.

[Rebelbase]

Isn't it about time State went after Matt Daughtery?

[Hatteras]

Why don't they offer Tom Burleson the job. He apparently has nothing else to do.

The thing with NC State always has been that they’re alumni, boosters and fans are under the insane delusion

The writer is obviously a college graduate.

[southernnorthcarolina]

Yep, that was bad. See post 10.

[Howlin]

That's about what I figured.........LOL.

[billbears]

NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
