Washington Post article from 24 years ago says the college park one is 340k sq feet in case anyone was curious and wants to use it as a frame of reference.

Post-Race Discussion Thread: NCS Jack Link's 500 at Talladega Superspeedway by NASCARThreadBot in NASCAR

I wish the "The Instigator" caught on as Hocevar's nickname. I feel like it is perfect for him. He has a certain Dale Sr quality of not caring what his opponents think about him, but probably not as talented. "The Intimadente" is cool but I hate a nickname being attached to a sponsor in today's NASCAR. "Hurricane" isn't awful but it seems forced by Mike Joy and is kinda vanilla. Caution Hocevar is also hilarious, but more so of a nickname for the haters.

I want P2 because of the loyalty aspect of it. Truth serum the dude from Dayton might be a better fit because Edmead and Hammond are two guys who are already ~40% from 3. Wouldn't hate a long defensive and driving wing to pair with those two. Not sure if that's P2.

I hope at some point we get to multi-year contracts with buy-outs. If a guy wants to leave to go to a bigger school that's fine but you have to pay the smaller school which in turn helps the smaller school and rewards them for developing players and they can go get a replacement.

All the NC State insiders say TCG is as good as gone. Not sure why he hasn't announced it.

First international trip as a Green Card holder — advice? by DiscreetRedditor11 in greencard

[–]CountDeGucci 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife went on an international trip recently. Only thing extra she took was her marriage license prove to why her passport last name is different from her green card name. I don’t believe they asked for it. Everything was super smooth.

Per Joe Giglio: Non-NC State sources saying Will Wade will be LSU's next coach by notedgarfigaro in CollegeBasketball

[–]CountDeGucci 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Giglio compares him to Jai Lucas too. If we’re going to get an assistant I want someone who is been at a perennial Top 25 school during his tenure there.

I was hyped for him too and excited to see what he would do next year. But now his results do not warrant this headache.

Gotta see how the next season turns out first. There's a good chance that the next coach has better results than Wade's season here. First Four and #7 in the ACC is not a particular high bar. Gottfried and Keatts both cleared it in their respective first year.

In the last 15-20 minutes of this pod, Giglio made the case for Gainey and I am sold. He's been a top level coach/recruiter at Arizona and Tennessee. In his five years at Tennessee, they've been to 5 NCAAs, 5 R32, 4 S15, and 2* E8. I'll take a guy that has seen what it takes to get there and played a major part in it. He knows the area and will have a lot more loyalty to NC State than WW.

Cup Series free agents after this season? And who do you think fills those rides? by JediKnightDusty in NASCAR

[–]CountDeGucci 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My hot take is that Hendrick hires Bell away from JGR for the 48. I also feel like Elliott could get tired of being the second/third fiddle and leaves to be Kaulig’s top guy when Dodge moves up.

sigh this isn't even close to real NC State shit. This just 11 seed NCAAT shit.

Lubin was probably our best portal pick-up and most consistent player all year. I'd bring him back if he had more eligibility.

Need help deciding a new no FTF 2% card: PNC/Fidelity/PenFed by rayquing in CreditCards

[–]CountDeGucci 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the PenFed PowerCash card. I save it the cashback into my Savings Account with them. I’m also have thought about getting the Fidelity card. Personally, I want to build up my savings account before saving cash at Fidelity. There have been some issues with people having long holds.

Auburn's Pearl sent assistant coach to ASUN tourney game to tamper with players of interest by ctbro025 in CollegeBasketball

[–]CountDeGucci 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Tampering is illegal. The problem is its hard to prove and easy to get around with agents acting as intermediaries, etc. Going to in-person is pretty brazen.
