FEAR THE TURTLE.

Why? Fridgen can't coah football and you couldn't win a physical game in Blacksburg....

And its a TURTLE! a slow moving creature whos natural defense is to retreat inside thier shell!

But MD is hot right now. 6 straight ACC wins. That's impressive. I wouldn't want to face them. All this aside. What a game tonight!! I hope ZD and JG come through. Biggest game of the year, yet. UVA sux monkeyballs, though. It's the intangibles I'm worried about.

Yup...big game tonight, better watch it! 7pm on ESPN
 
awesome game last night. glad that we swept Duke 🙂

now if only ESPN could fire some fvcks who ruined the last few minutes of the game ...
 
I'm an NC Stater. UNC will always be our rival. That whole Duke-UNC thing is BS. people forget how we were the most hated for so long...you know, back in the 50's 😀

Those Duke/MD games a few years ago were great. But they were never/will never be true rivals. MD is probably my 2nd favorite team, so I always like to see them doing well...

compared to NC State-UNC from a state fan's perspective, yes, yes it is. It's very different for us. Mainly b/c we get no respect from the tarholes. It's more hate-based, I suppose. It can only be understood if you spent most of your life in Raleigh; and have a local understanding of those rivalry dynamics since childhood... (anyone thinking MD-Duke was ever a rivalry would never understand, of course)

But yes, historically speaking, State UNC is much, much bigger. Duke only came on the scene in the 80's. Recently, of course, the national attention is on UNC-Duke, or whoever's **** Vitale is sucking that week. 😀

Remember: we founded the ACC.

so basically you hate NC and NC could care less about you worldly state people. Got it.

Which one is that and why?

It was in reference to dbk's post about tonight's VT at UVa game for #1 seed in the ACC tourney.
What a game tonight!! I hope Zabian Dowdell (ZD) and Jamon Gordon (JG). come through. Biggest game of the year, yet. UVA sux monkeyballs, though. It's the intangibles I'm worried about.
