I think I figured the #NCAA out.

Imagine going out to a restaurant from your hometown. There's no prices on the menu. You ask what it costs to get the Thursday Special and they ask you what you'll pay. You look confused and say, "I don't know... How about $20?" The server brings you a paper plate with a bologna sandwich. Meanwhile, you look at your neighbor's plate and see they have a perfectly cooked steak.

"Excuse me, what did you order?" you ask.
"The Thursday Special," they reply.

Furious, you try to enjoy your meal, pay your bill, then go home. Outraged at the subpar performance, you leave a review on Yelp for the terrible product you received only to have an executive at Yelp contact you back.

"We received your review but we are confused why you only rated the restaurant 1-star." they say
"I only got a bologna sandwich, but my neighbor got a steak, but both were the 'Thursday Special'." you explain.
"Did you pay as much as them?" they ask.
"I don't know."
"Does your household make as much as them?"
"I don't know."

"How much do you think a good meal SHOULD cost?" they ask.
"I really don't know anymore..." you say.
"Exactly. And that's the point." They hang up.

This is how #NIL works.

I call it, the "Tobacco Road".

Do it, you cowards.

[Based Howell @Real_Pack_Man]

Not a fan, but a tobacco themed helmet would be cool.

@mynaymeismud "I am going to totally side step MY OWN POINT and repeat the same lazy, uniformed line again hoping I can back out of the fact that I just made NC State's case for hiring PR as a Tar Heel."

[Based Howell @Real_Pack_Man]

This is my take as well. The talking point of "he's just a high school coach" is like visiting the Sistine Chapel and not looking up.

No one is holding up a high school coaching career as credentials. It probably has a lot more to do with being a leading QB in college, 18 years in the NFL, and an 8x Pro Bowler who is likely to raise stupid money for the program and has pretty significant coaching connections.

I'm not saying it's not a super risky move because... Hey... He factually DOESN'T have HC experience... But the idea he's just the shop teacher who coached little-league is asinine.

[Tim Peeler @PackTimPeeler]

It's not like Philip was the filmstrip-showing history teacher who was convinced to take the head coaching job for a $5,000 supplement so he could take his family on vacation. He's been preparing to be a head coach, where ever it may be, since he was 6.

[Based Howell @Real_Pack_Man]

@mynaymeismud "Nothing in his career says he can coach other than the very minor elements of understanding the game and money."

Great job. Enjoy Chapel Bill. 😂

[Based Howell @Real_Pack_Man]

@mynaymeismud You're literally making the narrative I've been mocking.

[Lupus @LupusBeowulf]

UNC fans rn

[Based Howell @Real_Pack_Man]

@mynaymeismud That was a lot of words to say, "You're right."

[Based Howell @Real_Pack_Man]

@PackChat1887 @UNC_TarHeelFan @AlanJustus That was truly a wild attempt at smack talk.

[Based Howell @Real_Pack_Man]

UNC fans all over this app keep calling Philip a "6-5 high school coach".

I guess that's a reasonable reaction from the school that created notable minor-league baseball player Michael Jordan.

======= NC STATE ========
Undefeated in ACC Titles
#GoState

[Cory Smith @RCorySmith]

The ACC has officially announced it will no longer hold an ACC Championship Game following the 2026 season.

NC State never made it to the ACC Championship Game in 22 years.

[Based Howell @Real_Pack_Man]

@PackTimPeeler I've been blessed with a Tim Peeler reply. Gunna be a good week.

[Based Howell @Real_Pack_Man]

Part of it is just "the game". You're supposed to trash talk the "other guys". I'll make fun of Chapel Bill until he finally does the dumb thing that gets him fired... I get it. But I'm convinced half these pundits legitimately don't know who Rivers is.

[NCSU Guy @NCSUguy8]

@Real_Pack_Man It’s funny we hired Gainey who’s an elite assistant and they said he had no experience and was a boring hire. It makes no sense.

[Based Howell @Real_Pack_Man]

I mean, yeah. What's the joke.

[Ross Martin @RossMartinNC]

Early 2000s hard daddy country NCSU alums are rigid thinking about Rivers coaching.

“That’s a real leader right there, son. An honest, hardworking Christian who leads w/ integrity, but isn’t afraid to speak his mind. I’d die for Philip and everything he’s done for the Wolfpack”

[Based Howell @Real_Pack_Man]

@UNC_TarHeelFan @AlanJustus An attempt was made.

[Based Howell @Real_Pack_Man]

@UNC_TarHeelFan @AlanJustus Ah. You're just a "Well, Ackshhhually" guy.

[Based Howell @Real_Pack_Man]

@bomberjacket5 We have different algorithms.

[Based Howell @Real_Pack_Man]

@euphonium_magic Just repeating the Tar Heel line.

[Based Howell @Real_Pack_Man]

1) Carolina fans don't know what a metaphor is,
2) Carolina fans are deliberately obtuse, or
3) Carolina fans don't know MJ played minor league baseball.

You pick. :)

@JCoxPE I don't mean to mock the great Cox of Carolina.

@Real_Pack_Man Dumbest post ever.
