LOLs all over the place.<br /><br />We have a great conference full of fantastic schools with high academic standards, and IMHO that's part of what's driving the quality of this thread. May those standards always continue to be an important part of the identity of the ACC.<br /><br />I join others in this thread in welcoming Pitt and hoping that this blog post is indicative of the sorts of contributions Pitt will make on and off the field of play.<br /><br />I'm a Carolina grad who lives in Raleigh, and has since just after the Cardiac Pack did their thing in '83. It was all painter hats and commemorative Coke products and all that, but State has been in the wilderness of irrelevance ever since.<br /><br />I do pull for State whenever they're not playing Carolina, as they're the hometown team, I went to high school with a bunch of dear friends who are State grads, and it makes local sports talk radio much more interesting. <br /><br />I follow PackPride fairly closely and particularly enjoy the endless threads obsessing about Carolina and the epic postgame meltdown threads. No one stands on a window ledge weeping like a little girl more pitifully than Statefan.<br /><br />For a university with the sort of quality academic concentrations it offers, you'd think the campus would display much more interesting architecture than it does. <br /><br />Instead, it's a monotonous load of bricks--a word that describes the majority of the shots taken by Wolfpack roundball players for the last 20 years. One of the few buildings with some character was recently torn down. WTF?<br /><br />Legendary tailgating? Yes, I would agree--have enjoyed it many times with my high school friends. However, it's all fun and games until folks get shot to death.<br /><br />And then there's the dookies. My contempt knows no bounds. From the faux gothic frillery of their campus, to the dorky, unsportsmanlike New Jersey cheer-sheet-reading campers who are so disdainful of this area and the peasants in Chapel Hill, to their rodentine coach who when he isn't playing manipulative games with referees during the season, spends the offseason giving keynotes on being a leader of men and being a profane, arrogant prick, dook is a vortex of suckage that could rip open the space-time continuum.<br /><br />Please read Will Blythe's "To Be Hate Like This is to be Happy Forever", absolutely the best book about ACC sports, and I've read a pallet-full. <br /><br />It's about the Carolina-dook rivalry from a Carolina fan's perspective, but it's about so much more than that--family, relationships between sons and fathers, life in the Triangle, and much more. <br /><br />Check it out on Amazon and read the reviews to get an idea of what's between the covers.<br /><br />Great original post and great thread. We've got great schools and great fans in this conference, and I think this displays that.<br /><br />Welcome, Pitt!
