OH BABY, ACC Basketball right around the corner. Let's get it started with some good old quotes from NCSU's Julius Hodge.

"But someone is going to be wide open," Hodge said. "I can't pump him no more because he's the truth. He's not even close to the same player as a year ago. His jumper is always going in. No disrespect to no one, but with me and him we're the best backcourt in the country." (this in regards to himself and Tony Bethel, a transfer from Georgetown.
Unfortunately for Julius and the wolfpack, not only will they not have/be the best backcourt in the nation, they won't be the best backcourt in their own conference or state. Those honors should go to CP3 and J-Gray, thats right, Chris Paul and Justin Gray, the Deamon Deacon's backcourt. (and don't forget about Raymond Felton and Rashad McCants)
Hodge is the returning ACC player of the year, and is a senior, but Paul has been pegged as the preseason ACC player of the year (and the national POY by many)

But, its good to see the pack pumped up, i mean like Julius said last year, "when we hungry, we eat, and we hungry" or something along those lines. kind of like the ncsu player who described his ability to use his right and left hands as being amphibious
oh, that and Rashad comparing playing basketball at unc to being in jail. yeah... college is like jail... especially if you are the biggest celebrity on campus.

Bring on the basketball!
