Darrion Williams (Texas Tech transfer) named preseason ACC POTY. The ACC used wrong photo at their media event; Wade joked "we see where we stand."

Wolfpack picked 4th in ACC by the media.

Jay Bilas was at practice yesterday.



Bilas always had a snobby attitude towards Wade's LSU teams. Maybe he's coming around now that Wade is in his beloved ACC?

Exhibition game vs. South Carolina coming up on 10/26.

They visit Auburn 12/3 and host Kansas 12/13. ACC play starts 12/31 vs. Wake Forest.

In hindsight everyone who bled out over tPear’s actions looks like a giant vagine.

Yea it was brazen and he shouldn’t have been so naive but NO WAY was literally every other school doing the same thing.

He was simply ahead of his time. A pioneer, if you will. The first man through always gets bloody.

For reference, here are the resumes of Wade's predecessors at NC State, which ultimately got both of them fired:





Based on recent history, they've been an NCAA tourney team half the time (7 of last 14 seasons) and have reached the Sweet 16 or better 3 of the last 14 seasons.

They've been a notch below .500 in ACC play.

Although they've got 2 national championships (1974, 1983), it's been a mediocre program in a tough conference for a long time now.

This is the program Wade is inheriting, and the standards he'll be looking to raise.

Pat Forde is probably blowing Wade now. He hated him when he was at LSU.

I love having Will Wade at NC state and in ACC. Duke and UNC will make him a villain. He’s easy to hate.

He’s also a character.

He’s also making the conference excellent and a hot bed of talent. Love it

Look at all the Wade cucks in here. If you are an LSU alum and cheering for the wolfpack, you can kick fricking rocks.

I parlayed NC State team total and -31.5 and made a nice bet.
