Syracuse Fans Can Now Begin Hating NC State Earlier Than Expected

PrintIf Jim Boeheim wants to pop off, Jim Boeheim can pop off. I think we can all agree that he's earned the right to pop off at-will.
He is a fully-accredited member of the National Popping Off Association.
He has an honorary degree in Popping Off with an honorary minor in Sounding Off.
Popping Off: The Jim Boeheim Story will be the name of his autobiography.
Now, there's a lot of folks in the ACC who might not be aware of this. They might not realize that Jim Boeheim surpassed Right to Pop Off Whenever He God Damn Well Pleases status a long time ago. He surpassed Doesn't Give A S**tF**k What You Think About It status even before that.
Between now and the time the Syracuse Orange start playing ACC basketball, all ACC fans should begin acclimating themselves to The Great Pop-Offening that is ahead. Jim Boeheim will pop off about your team. He will pop off about your coach. He will pop off about the refs. He will pop off about the location in which you play basketball games. He will pop off about your local paper. He will most certainly pop off about the questions its reporters ask. He will pop off about your town. He will pop off about the dinner options available there. He will pop off about the local accommodations. And he will pop off about all of it whether you ask him to pop off or not.
Do you know why?
Because he has 856 wins, thirty-three 20-win seasons, twenty-seven NCAA Tournament appearances, eight Big East regular season championships, five Big East Tournament championships, an Olympic gold medal, a Hall of Fame plaque, three Finals Fours and a National Championship. That's the f*** why.
If you could just give N.C. State coach Mark Gottfried and his 279 career-wins the head's up about all that, it would be appreciated.
"I think the tournament has so much tradition, probably more than any other basketball tournament in the country," Gottfried said. "I like the fact, whether it’s in Greensboro, or to me, Charlotte would be a great place. Jim Boeheim popping off up there that he thinks it needs to be in New York -- he needs to get in the league first, before he starts making demands on the league."
Mark and the Wolfpack host Boeheim and the Orange on December 17th. Giddy up.

And...
Mr.Boeheim doesn’t like feedback. He will slap the s**t out of the mic. Don’t even go there.

Is He Hoping to Make NC State/SU A Rivalry...
Or is he just not smart enough to know that there have been less things than this to set off Coach B? Heck, Donna just printed his record against opposing coaches and he lit her up like he was Snoop Dogg and she was a bong. How do you think he will react to you Coach…what the hell was your name again?

Well...if his student sexy scandal at Alabama taught us anything
it’s that Gottfried isn’t one to err on the side of discretion
You don't play the seniority card against a Hall of Fame coach.
…he needs to get in the league first, before he starts making demands on the league…
Pretty sure the president of the ACC is on the phone with Gottfried begging him to write an apology. This guy sounds really high on himself. Who does he think he is, Gilbert Gottfried?

I cant wait to beat them in the ACC tournament held in MSG.

Gott-fried and Gottlieb must be related somehow....
as if we needed another reason to dislike either one.
btw, does Greensboro even have its own stree mime?
...too friggin funny
I’m definitely on board with some “pregettingintotheacc” hate against NC State! Where is NC State?
Alright, a fresh rivalry is brewing already.
Love it. And we get a preview this year which is nice.
Seriously, Gottfried: you mess with the bull, you get the horns. Prepare yourself.
Clear eyes, full bologna sandwiches!
This is a fight you don;t wanna start....
Jim: “Mark who? How long have you been coaching in the ACC?”
Mark: “Oh…since April. I really got a feel for things down here, and I don’t like that your bashing ACC stuff already. You’re taking my bag.”
Jim: “You know what else I’m gonna take from you? Your recruits, Oh and lots of wins from you. You better get used to it. On a side note I’ve been coaching longer than you’ve been alive so how bout you just shut up.”
Mark: “Oh well…um…” [exits room and kicks trash can on the way]
Pls let JAB pack Gott-fried's parachute....
when he plans another jump into Wolfcrap Stadium.
Finally
someone can smack around Duke and NC State in their own conference.
And on that note,

We already have a history with NC State
We went after (NYC’s) Julius Hodge (#1 SG in his class, #5 overall HARD, but he picked NC State over us. Then he came to the Dome and handed us our first loss of the season in 2001. After that awful season, SU fans like myself wondered what could’ve been if Hodge had decided to come play for us…
Fortunately, he didn’t — which was the only reason we offered a scholarship to Hakim Warrick. Hodge was an excellent college player, but I’ll take Hak, the 2003 National Championship, and his epic tea-bag dunks any day.
Give Gottfried a break, his team is easily the 4th best team in the state of North Carolina… oh, forgot about Charlotte… well top 5 anyway, guy knows his stuff.

I was gonna say
“Begin” hating? I know that losing a recruit to another school happens all the time. but I think it’s pretty rare that the two competing schools play each other the very next season. I was at that game, and we booed Hodge mercilessly every time he touches the rock. he actually stuck his tongue out at the student section as the clock was winding down.
But I couldn’t agree more. I’ll take Hak, The Dunk, The Block and everything else that came from the Orange getting Plastic Man instead of julius hodge.

Top 4 or 5? Maybe not. Probably not.
Flipping though my preason mags - Sporting News and Lindy’s - I see that both have NC St picked to finish 8th behind such hoop powers as Miami, Virginia Tech and Forida St.
Top 4 or 5 IN THE STATE OF NC

I hope Jimmy B. does a little popping off in the handshake line,
after we beat them by thirty.

I like that he's really expanding his horizons

You mean we could do it in Greensboro OR Charlotte? wow. how do you choose?

“We are going to fix this before the Florida State game if we have to do it ourselves,” Will Quick, student body president, said.
He indicated that he heard first-hand reports of people urinating in the stands.
“I know people were urinating in their sections,” Quick said. “I have heard reports of individuals being splashed by urine.”

That is f*&king awesome.
And disgusting. And kind of makes me appreciate Syracuse fans a whole lot more?
Hey! NC state has one of the best statistics graduate programs in the country!
I guess most people don’t care about that. They do have a lovely campus, though. Lots of bricks.
'Cuse 2010, Michigan 2012
Fun, stupid, meaningless fact
Back in 2000 half the bricks made in the USA were laid in the Carolinas.
Of course a lot of those bricks are made in the Carolinas as well. Lot of brick in the Carolinas. Which is nice. It is both a nice looking and durable building material.
… Now back to basketball.

Enjoy it now
We All will learn to really dislike the ACC and most all things southern about it. They havent changed after a civil war, civil rights, and political corrrectness. Good Ole boy charm practiced by most successful goodoleboys is nothing but smarmy two faced patronage… Yes JB has earned the right to say what he wants; but dont think for one minute that ACC folks & fans will actually respect him or us… so enjoy it while we have the teflon shield of a HOF legend coach. and remember in the ACC… NC State is so lowly thought of they’re mostly ignored; so dont start to think of them as rivals, but the occasional cold sore that develops. Save the hate for Roy.
Is NC State,
the Rutgers of the ACC?

Funny thing is
I have a friend that went undergrad to NC State, and is currently going to Rutgers for more. I should ask him.

Haha, that is hilarious
What a dope.
Jim Boeheim has coached in 0 ACC games. Guess how many Gottfried has coached in? That’s right, the same exact amount of ZERO.
Hey Gottfried, why don’t you get in the league and coach a few games before you go popping off about something you have no history with. You’d think this guy was NC State’s longtime coach with the way he’s talking and assuming the role of Greensboro monkey.

Correct me if I'm wrong
but JB didn’t bash Greeensboro, he just said he would like the tournament to be at MSG. Then a bunch of people got all riled up about that and he repeated that he didn’t say anything bad at all about Greensboro… just that he thought NYC was about the best place in the world to have a tournament.
Having to dig and distort that much to scrape up (or manufacture) a little bulletin board material is the mark of a real douche.
Half-correction
Jim B didn’t come right out and say that Greensboro is rank like rotten assholes. But the tone of his comments regarding the superiority of NYC over just about any other potential ACC Tourney venue was clearly of the “f*ck Greensboro” persuasion.

He will most certainly pop off about the questions its reporters ask.
This I can’t wait for. Those southern markets are going to have to get used to asking JB good questions. He don’t take kindly to stupid questions. Can’t wait for the pressers.

so excited for this
although he’s going to have to restrain himself when talking about the quality of their cities.
Everything else though, he should slay.

Jim Boeheim has coached exactly as many ACC games as Gottfried
Zero. He just got hired… but apparently he already fancies himself Mr. ACC.
I would love for the ACC tournament to be in Charlotte
I’m from Syracuse and recently moved to… Charlotte. crosses fingers
although I’m definitely gonna miss the big east tourney at the garden
I'm sure he is well aware
Jim B strikes me as a guy with a long memory. I’m sure he’s knows the name and face of every coach he’s lost to.

I think that was a reference to Donna asking Jim about his record vs. Pitino (?) that sent him into a tirade....
But not sure….
My fearless prediction:
Boeheim will still be coaching in the ACC when Gottried has fired and moved on to coaching ’Eastern Podunk U".
Gottfried more than any has to HATE SU and Pitt coming. He gets the job at a school that think they are a great baketball power and should be rivaling their Triangle cousins, and going to NCAA’s every year.
So as he tries to clime back to the top and hop over hoops powerhouses like Virginia Tech, Clemson, and Florida St ( LOL!!) on his way up the ACC ladder now he has SU and Pitt thrown in his path. GOOD LUCK BUDDY!!!
I give him 3 years maybe 4.
Gottfried will make to the Hall of Fame someday
But he is going to have to buy a fargin’ ticket like everybody else!
Those poor poor Wuffies
This is the kind of NC-centric bullshit we’ve been dealing with since 1953. Can you guys get here ASAP so we can attempt to move SOME of the powerbase from Tobacco Road? “Oh, I like G’boro, yuk yuk!”. It’s a fucking dump and it’s time we make some NC fans travel somewhere for once.
Much like Greenland...
Greensboro’s name is an intentional attempt to dupe rubes into settling there, as the name suggests bountiful green farm land. A more apt name would be: “Dirtydirtybackwoodsracistpigfuckersboro”

my favorite is that gottfried hasn't coached a single game in the ACC yet. Priceless
"O...M...G. And that's not with a smiley face, that's with a DUNK-NASTY FACE"
Howdy from NC
I think there are few of us State fans that would call NC State a basketball power. Hell, there is a reason they show clips of the Jimmy V tournament win every year when they start talking about Cinderella stories… we weren’t a power then either.
The truth is that college hoops is the sport everyone cares about down here. Sure we like football. We have some pro teams here and there. But when you get right down to it, it’s NCAA basketball.
Now Duke and Carolina are in spitting distance and it’s damn cold being in their shadow every year. We are waiting for a coach that can get us back to some kind of competitive level and we have a new one this year. Will he get us there? Who knows. I sure as hell hope so.
Do I like that Pitt and Syracuse are joining the ACC? Not sure yet. It was a decision based on money by both the schools and the conference apparently. I don’t think they will strengthen the football side of things much but they do bring some b-ball power. I feel that you have to play the best to be the best so I’m fine going up against you guys.
There does seem to be an awful lot of venom here for a pretty lame comment. He’s a new coach trying to build local support by claiming a love for ACC (and NC) basketball tradition. Is the Greensboro coliseum as impressive a venue as MSG? Um… I don’t think that even needs an answer.
What I’m seeing as a response is attacks on the students of NC State (not all are rednecks just because there is an agricultural department), Greensboro (it’s not NYC but it is larger than Syracuse), the state of NC and then the whole of the South. Where all this pent up rage is coming from? Your team is the one that has the talent, the record and the coach. I’m not sure which NC you have lived in but I haven’t seen the racism and “animal husbandry” that you are referencing.
There are all kinds of fans. Maybe this is just the flavor of this blog’s comments. Obviously I am new to the party here. If this fairly represents the sentiments of the Syracuse fan base just let me know.
Welcome to the ACC. It should be fun.
