- Just because a broadcaster comes across as having a harsh, abrasive personality while he’s on the air, that doesn’t necessarily mean that he’s like that in real life. However, in Billy Packer’s case, it does mean this.

- Here at Carolina Water Cooler, surely we’re not the only ones that wish Jeremy Hyatt was still playing for the Wolfpack. Incidently, a google search to determine the whereabouts of the best pink player ever to don an N.C. State uniform yields information about another chap with a similar name: Ronald Jeremy Hyatt. Perhaps you know him simply as Ron Jeremy. Too bad we didn’t know about this when Mr. Hyatt was playing at State.

- One kid rolled into the Dean Dome proudly sporting his Herb Sendek t-shirt. Let it go, man. Just let it go.

- Sources have informed Carolina Water Cooler that one popular poster in State dorm rooms depicts a shirtless Engin Atsur, cradling a basketball, along with the words “Turkish Delight.” Carolina Water Cooler has declined from commenting.

- It’s understood that sound only travels so fast, but the complete lack of coordination among fans during the “C-A-R-O-L-I-N-A” cheer is downright disturbing.

- You know what they say about your wife: If she’s still nagging at you, you’re ok. It’s when she gives up and stops trying altogether that you’re in trouble. Well, it’s the same way with Roy and the refs. If they screw up a little bit, he’ll let them know. But when he just gives them a quick glare and then ignores them, you know they’ve done something very, very bad.

- It’s been said here before. It will be said here again. Most importantly, it’s being said here now: “QQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQ!!!!!!!!”

- It’s pretty obvious that Bobby practices his halfcourt shot on a fairly regular basis. You can see him calculating his time and distance and trajectory and wind resistance. Good money says he shoots 50% from back there during practice.

- It’s nice when Danny hits a three. It’s fun when Wayne drills one. But when Marcus Ginyard knocks one down, it’s a party.

- They should be sure to keep that footage of Dean Smith covering his ears while everyone cheered for him at halftime. They could use it for the next “Get Off Your Seat and Make Some Noise” video montage.

- “He who knows not and knows not that he knows not, he is a fool. Shun him. He who knows not but knows he knows not, he is simple. Teach him. He who knows and knows not he knows, he is asleep. Awaken him. He who knows and knows that he knows, he is wise. Follow him.” – Bruce Lee (and no, this has absolutely nothing to do with basketball or Carolina in any way, shape or form).
