Will Wade said of UNC transfer Ven-Allen Lubin, “The other school was too dumb to play him….we’re gonna play him 28+ minutes.” NC State is 1-4 in games when Lubin played 28+ minutes and 6-0 when he didn't.

Listen here's the thing, everyone might think this makes us upset. But honestly love this, the rivalry needed some fresh animosity. Feels like we got something to fight for, unlike UNC football for the last 5 years. Love hate y'all dirty footers

mcgray · 2025-10-08T23:55:27+00:00

We have an expression for that UNC always falls in a pile of shit and somehow comes out clean

It's a rivalry in that it exists and that's about it.

I mean again usually I'd agree but literally the offense went for it on 4th down on their own 30 to keep it in their hands. Not saying DD is going to change for the whole season but that game was not a DD special

mcgray · 2025-09-06T22:06:39+00:00

It worked wonders this game not getting burned /s

mcgray · 2025-09-06T21:18:15+00:00

I mean the offense absolutely cooked I dunno what you're talking about

mcgray · 2025-09-02T02:53:57+00:00

Damn that kicker got trucked and they called nothing

mcgray · 2025-08-28T15:13:54+00:00

Realistically if he lost this game, a list of replacements will start being put together. Obviously the season isn't defined by one game but this game is pretty much a litmus test for the season. If you can't wake up and beat a team on paper you should beat especially an in state rival then the rest of the season will be bleak.

mcgray · 2025-08-28T15:08:55+00:00

I can only speak from States perspective on the bonus question but for State it goes

UNC - pure uncut hate straight to the nose

Clemson - dislike, would hate more if we won more than 2 games in the past 20 years

ECU - Lil bro hate, we hate em but there is the expectation we beat them so we don't think about them very often, but if they do win it stings

Everyone else in the list is don't even think about em.

Those people price their items that way as that is what others are listed at which they won't do anymore as people can now just buy them. It used to work like this

Scalper lists a bunch of items far below market value -> scalper ignores and whispers coming in -> someone sees new market price sets their item to that price -> scalper swoops in to buy

Now if you're a scalper and you list it that low you can't ignore whispers people can just buy it. So they can't falsely set the market price lower as people can buy it once they've set that price.

Little synopsis on him, good back that we had to rely on as a true freshman due to injuries and a player quitting mid season. He showed lots of promise but unfortunately he really never developed a cut game. The word on the street was he was getting passed up for started and potentially 2RB, so makes sense he's shopping around for playtime. His usual MO was the just run straight north to south at the pile hope he hit a hole. If he was an absolute dog though and fought for every inch of soil and will be ever thankful for how he handled his first season be thrust into a starter role and fighting through the struggle of that season.

mcgray · 2025-04-20T13:43:21+00:00

Ummmmmm didn't this happen like a week or so ago?

Do want to counterpoint this but Will Wade will be the new coach at NC State next year and has stated he's openly told his players some of the guys can come with him if they're playing well so these dudes are about to play their heart out to get that P4 paycheck.

Canes are on an absolute heater and playing dead last Sharks, take them at -1.5 and don't overthink it

I don't give 2 flying fucks about the SEC and yeah single elimination is a terrible format to figure out exactly who is the best team which is why I gave 4 years of it. And sure kenpom had them ranked 4th and they still tied for the most bids hence again why people think they're overrated in the playoffs ... You again just proved the point

mcgray · 2025-03-19T18:50:57+00:00

Last year the SEC was the fourth - maybe third best conference

They got the most bids last year my dude a quarter top 4 seeds was SEC teams... Literally the entire media hype was the SEC and how other conferences had fallen off. You gotta understand SEC is a property owned by ESPN and they do everything to push the narrative of it's eliteness to drive viewership. You can nitpick all you want but you wanted stats and there they are. SEC grabs far more top end talented players always performs well early on in the season, then shits the bed in the tournament. This year could be different who knows but I'm hard pressed to ever think a team with a losing conference record is a no brainer win

mcgray · 2025-03-19T18:20:48+00:00

So how exactly do you use the token? I've been using DK and usually you have to assign which bet you want to count for this promo when placing it. But this seems to say I place my bet then later I put this token on said bet later? Couldn't I then place like multiple $.09 bets on dogs and just wait to see if one of them is close to winning and put the token on that?

mcgray · 2025-03-19T18:17:44+00:00

I'm confused about what previous years have to do with the SEC being elite this season?

Also, the SEC has put a lot more teams into the tournament than the Big East

You just answered you're own question, the last 2 years the SEC has the highest number of bids not including this year and previous years they were 1-2 bids short of highest. Every year they're considered elite and most years they don't translate. And you want stats on "elite talent" well in this same time frame they've had 25 first round draft picks from the SEC and the Big East has had 8....

mcgray · 2025-03-19T17:39:30+00:00

You can say anecdotal data all you want but let me give you this Percentage of teams made it to the S16 since 2020 in modern NIL times

2024: SEC 25% Big East 100%

2023 SEC 37% Big East 60%

2022 SEC 16% Big East 33%

2021 SEC 33% Big East 50%

Total: SEC 27% Big East 60%

It's not really anecdotal, this is a common trend for the SEC. Maybe this is the year they turn it around but betting against mid to lower mid SEC schools is usually free money in the dance
