The pictures are from a re-enactment in case you’re like me and wondered why the hell someone decided to pick up a camera and start snapping away in the middle of a life-and-death crisis.
This moment was awesome because he was celebrating his front court teammate having the game of his career so far. He’s happier for Ben’s success than his own. That’s how you win.

To be clear: I am not a member of the NRA. But they absolutely are ruining gun ownership for all of us, NRA non-members and members alike.
Carolina and Duke fans get to enjoy a lot of success, sure, but they don’t ever get to enjoy being everyone’s favorite team in the tournament when they succeed.
This should be against the rules, honestly. If you want to protect quarterbacks by teaching defensive players to ease up when a quarterback gives himself up, you can’t allow a QB to use that to gain cheap yards or even a touchdown as he did here.
Hey
@GaryParrishCBS
, I revisited your article from 2017 about State’s slim chances of making a good hire. I was going to just screen shot it, but I decided to screen record it instead so you could watch the highlights of Keatts’ fourth win over a top-10 team. So far, so good, no?
The ACC Offices to
@PackFootball
fans: “Oh, you’re tried of noon games during the hottest month of the season? You are? Ok assholes, how about a month of night games during the coldest month of your worst season in the last half decade?”
Clemson was robbed, honestly. I know they had some losses that looked bad on the resume but 4 Q1 wins and finishing third in the ACC should’ve mattered more.
Mike O’Connell…what can you say? He’s been good for one mega-important moment in nearly every game it seems. This shot…the and-1 drive against Oakland…obviously the banked three against UVA. Just a whole big ol bag of onions.

I wonder what Marco thinks when he watches this video. Does he pretend he never said it, that it doesn’t exist? It’s a strange thing to see someone fall for the very trap they warned others of.
Among some of the best linebackers to ever play at State, he’s probably my favorite. Before Payton Wilson was baring his midriff, Nate was suplexing guys with his jersey tucked up.
I don’t think it completely sunk in last night, amidst all the celebration, what a feat
@NCStateBaseball
had just pulled off: handing the
#1
team in baseball their first *series* loss ALL YEAR, in their home stadium of 12k fans, against a pitcher with a 0.60 ERA.
Knock on wood and whatnot, but I'd love another 41-10 result just to shut up these announcers regarding the strides Mack is making in in-state recruiting.
Now comes the hard part: replicating this success again so a deep tourney run is not viewed as “magic” but rather the standard. This should be the beginning.
Everett Case started the tradition of cutting down the nets. His name is on the ACC Tournament MVP trophy. Tonight…the Wolfpack get to take part in the tradition he gave birth to.
“NC STATE FANS ARE PERFECTLY HAPPY WITH KEVIN KEATTS AS OUR BASKETBALL COACH, AND WHILE WE’RE ALL A LITTLE BUMMED WE MISSED THE NCAA TOURNAMENT, THE SCATTERED GRIPES HERE OR THERE OF A FEW FANS SHOULD NOT BE MISCONSTRUED AS AN OVERALL SENSE OF UNEASINESS ABOUT THE PROGRAM!”

BREAKING: Florida State has scheduled an emergency meeting of its Board of Trustees for Friday morning.
This is the first concrete step needed in any effort to enable the school to take legal action against the ACC to challenge the grant of rights:
I’m hard-pressed to think of a better five-game sequence:
- State men’s bball: W vs Dayton
- Football: W vs UNC
- UNC men’s bball: L vs Iowa State
- State men’s bball: W vs Butler
- UNC men’s bball: L vs Bama.
Take note of this, hockey media, the next time the crowd boos Roy Williams or Hubert Davis when they come on the Jumbotron...it ain't because there's a ton Duke fans in the arena.
People may feel differently, but I’d forfeit our bid to the NCAA Tournament if it meant guaranteeing the ACC title. Give it to UVA or Pitt, I don’t care. The first conference title since 87 is all that matters to me.
The
#Commanders
are making a QB change with two games left. Following his impressive performance on Sunday, Jacoby Brissett will start against the

Sam Howell to the bench.
I'm bummed about the loss, but I'm happy Reynolds got three great games to showcase just how awesome a venue it continues to be. PNC is and should remain our home, but this string of games was a rare treat and we should appreciate it accordingly.
What Keatts did again last night is the thing that has eluded Dave Doeren all these years: a signature upset win that can keep your fan support afloat through the lean times. It’s easier to show proof of concept when it occasionally happens vs never quite getting it done.

Here’s the really insidious part: the bounty is owed by the person you snitched on! It’s not paid by the state…it’s paid by the doctor you ratted out or the poor 15 year old girl you outed. It costs the state nothing and will pit citizens against one another.
Well, how’s this for the NC State Shit cannon? State was in control of the Louisville game but couldn’t quite seal the deal. Had they won? They’re playing for an ACC title next week against an FSU team playing with a backup QB. 😬
Game ends: "I can be mature about this and appreciate all the good things State did to be in position to win at the end. It was a hard-fought game to the end."
After stewing for 30 minutes: "Fuck that flopping piece of shit."
This is a sincere thank you to Tim Beck for the job he did developing our quarterback room. No way we win the UNC game with our 4th string QB without the work he put into Finley and the other QBs in that room.
This was a fun moment at the end of the Wake game featuring Jordan Houston. I love when guys across the lines know each other and enjoy playing against each other.

Put me down for Texas. I’ve been told not to read too much into their early voting totals and all I can think about is their early voting totals.
Oh, and
@BooCorrigan
? Time to storm the temple and upheave the tables of the moneychangers. If you want or need to, you can view this shitty situation as an opportunity to win over the NC State fan base who values a fighter in its leader.
The NCAA Selection Committee may have only used the NET as a sorting tool. But, through 12 games in the NIT and the NCAA First Four, the teams with the higher NET ranking have a combined record of:
12-0.
Imagine going back to 2019 and telling an NC State fan that they would be ranked in the top 10 and given a legitimate chance to beat Clemson in Death Valley when they are ranked 5th. Quite a three-year build.
The Pop-Tarts Bowl between Kansas State and NC State drew the largest audience of ANY bowl game so far — averaging 4.3 million viewers on ESPN.

USC: “Yes, we paid some athletes to attend. But we were also paid to admit regular students pretending to be athletes, and my understanding is that as long as some regular students get in on the act, that’s fine.”
NCAA: “Well…you got us there.”
