I don't know why the Tweeter man is singling out Georgia in the tweet.

Presumably because Tweetsr man doesn’t like Georgia and wants attention from other Tweeters who also don’t like Georgia.

even though LV & NOLA are ostensibly the party capitals of America, to me they are polar opposites .

There are Vegas/Miami people, and Nola people. The two are very, very different.

The shots sounded defensive in nature to me, meaning it was a law enforcement officer shooting a threat. The shots were outside of the room at WHCD.

How the frick do you delineate the sound of gunshots as defensive vs aggressive?
I grew up going to the beach in NC and went to the gulf for the first time as a young adult. I was shocked at how calm (and warm) the water was in comparison.
Not as bad as Clemson, which apparently had a lot of high end players.

Had a fast car, but never caught speeding with it.

This is true legally speaking, but his ex did post some pretty egregious speeding tic toks if memory serves.

He never seemed to me like a bad guy, but I could see how the way he carries himself could be a major problem for teams looking to draft a QB, who ideally would be the face of a franchise. He doesn’t have that kind of edge.

Also the average house went from 1500sft to 2600 sft, almost double. If you controlled for inflation and size, you might find that the needed wages are significantly less.

You would find that the needed wages are still more than they were, and that there is not some undiscovered glut of available 1200 sf houses.

I bet if you gave me absolute power over NYC Zoning and permitting, I could solve their housing crisis in less than a year. I could probably get median rents in Manhattan below $1500/month.

No you could not. Do you have any idea how much it costs to build an urban apartment building and how they’re financed?
I think the marginal difference in amounts vs the under the table days is driving the shift as much as anything. A defensive lineman from South GA is probably not going to go to Michigan over Georgia for an additional $10k, but they absolutely will for an additional $500k.

I think Billy Donovan would have been a safer hire but don’t think he’s enough better that an AD is going to essentially forfeit year 1 with other good options out there.

Did they learn nothing from Belichick?

I assume that they confirmed that there is no 24 year old attention seeking girlfriend involved this time.

It’s also a different sport. UNC enjoys some roster construction advantages in basketball that they do not have in football.
They just hired Mike Malone per reports online. It would appear that the job is still very appealing.

I mean 3 guys is a lot for unc. 10 years ago it was a job you couldn’t say no to. They poached Roy Williams from Kansas. It’s kinda wild

Roy Williams was a special case given his prior ties to UNC. It’s not shocking that they’d miss out on coaches who have big programs in this year’s final four. That certainly doesn’t mean the job now isn’t good.
quote:

Coaches are turning them down left and right.

Hasn’t it just been like 3 guys so far?

I think a lot of the narrative around the blue bloods being toast is just a mistaken interpretation of them having a weak few years. Blue bloods have huge fan bases and the most valuable brands, both of which give them an advantage in the NIL era if directed correctly.
List is a slight to Kirby Smart no matter how mediocre White might be.
quote:

McMahon is being fired today, before they ever announce Wade. Again, they only were going after 1 target, would look pretty stupid to fire the coach if you're going after 1 target and then couldnt get said target. What they did makes perfect sense.

Do you think they actually would have kept McMahon after publicly pursuing Wade? I don’t see how you can keep McMahon in place with any credibility had Wade decided to stay at NCSU.

This is pretty sad. At some point self awareness has to kick in, and you focus on finding a solid school with a decent enough program. Start trying to get good grades and endearing yourself to that alumni base. He doesn’t have much to lean on at this point, and I’m sure his academic record is a disaster.
quote:

I loved that Wade's teams were looked at as the bad guy.

I don’t think that’s been NC State’s experience though. His passion didn’t really land there for whatever reason. He wasn’t all that popular at VCU either, and I wouldn’t describe either place as particularly stuffy.
Fair enough, I guess. It’s interesting that the Will Wade experience seems to be polarizing in general. NC State seems pretty disappointed overall.
