@MLBRaleigh So would you classify yesterday as a step forward or step back for @MLBRaleigh?

[Richard Pate @Richard_Pate12]

@joeovies Just secured the towers shirt. Thanks for the reminder and keep up the good work!

@pdpate19 @DHPIV @Canes Heresy.

@DHPIV @pdpate19 @Canes I’m gonna bring a whole Trophy pizza.

[Richard Pate @Richard_Pate12]

@DHPIV SICK!

[Richard Pate @Richard_Pate12]

@statefansnation Exactly right…except for Game 2 of the Ottawa series.

@ByPatForde NC State was the ACC champion in 2024, not UNC

[Richard Pate @Richard_Pate12]

@statefansnation 100%...along with the HT crew.

@statefansnation It’s borderline unreadable. DeCock’s departure was the last straw for me.

[Richard Pate @Richard_Pate12]

@DHPIV @notthefakeSVP Yup…he actually gives other sports their due rather than solely focusing on the NFL.

@LukeDeCock This is so depressing…been a loyal reader of yours the past 15 years. Always appreciated the intelligence and honesty in your work. You’re the best in the business. Please don’t be a stranger on the OG. Best of luck to you!

[Richard Pate @Richard_Pate12]

@SethDavisHoops One negative…it seems like thus far there has been hardly any wins by mid majors over power conference teams, and the margins of victory seems to keep growing in these games.

[Richard Pate @Richard_Pate12]

@statefansnation I agree with you, but to play devils advocate, I wonder if some of these big games this weekend are even scheduled if we’re still in the BCS/4 team playoff era.

[Richard Pate @Richard_Pate12]

@statefansnation 100%…this should’ve happened 10 years ago. Kind of takes away from it a little bit, for me.

[Richard Pate @Richard_Pate12]

@MLBRaleigh @giglio_OG Just stinks they would give a team to Portland or SLC just for the sake of having an expansion team out west, when NC, specifically Raleigh, would be a better option IMO. Nashville seems like a given at this point.

[Richard Pate @Richard_Pate12]

@statefansnation That’s right, and the weird thing is, we actually have had back to back playoff seasons, just not winning seasons.

[Richard Pate @Richard_Pate12]

@joeovies Just tried to get a pint at Greystone…they were sold out too! Must be 🐐 status.

[Richard Pate @Richard_Pate12]

@SethDavisHoops @hhqsports If the additional play in games only include at large teams, I can live with it. Keep conference champions out of the play in games.

[Richard Pate @Richard_Pate12]

@SethDavisHoops I would be ok with 76 if these additional play in games were only for bubble teams. But I assume some of these play in games would be for conference champions, which will result in less mid major/small conference teams in the field of 64 - that’s not right.
