For some reason I was Listening to Packers show and Billy called in. He told a story about when he played for NC State and went to Dayton to play. It was a crazy story but pretty much about it being a hard place to play even back then. Having stuff threw at them then getting escorted out by cops.
Billy was giving Packer hell for not giving Lutz squad more airtime. He also said the ACC was no match for the A-10 this season and not to many ACCers would have our record in A10.
Uhh, packer played at WFU…
Sorry it was WF he also talked about a Duke State game.

Wow. This is beyond shocking. I’ve heard Mark give us love before on many occasions, but always figured it would be a cold day in hell when Billy would say anything positive about us or the A10. Very surprising and refreshing to hear that he said that.

Well, to even things out, Billy did say “luts” and was corrected by Mark that it is “lootz.” But, yeah, I was surprised to hear it, too.
He did say that THIS YEAR’s ACC was probably worse than the A10 team-for-team. The story he told about playing in Dayton was bad, kinda like when Niners fans dumped soda on the Sincy team after a game in Halton, but worse. The coolest thing about the story, though, was the differences in the rules that were in place then vs. now.
The elder Packer was the first person I ever heard to describe himself as “often wrong, but never in doubt”. That was his most accurate observation. Good to hear that he’s giving Hell to Mark about us, though.

oh geez…that is NOT what happened ever—it was one fan who threw a small amount of ice in the Cincy players direction and they replied by throwing basketballs into the stands as hard as they could.
clt has lit himself on fire.
Yeah, I heard it too. I have actually started listening to Packer more frequently lately as every time I tune in I hear about the Niners. I think we should change our tone a little bit. We complain about not getting enough media coverage, and rightfully so, but we can get more people to hear about us by calling into shows like Packer and talking about the Niners. I’m sure some of you would sooner join the Rams club than do something like that but I think it’s a good idea. Our media coverage sucks, but whining about it all the time isn’t going to do anything about it.

Come on now, after the basketball racks were emptied into the stands, and the PG was being refrained from running up into the crowd, there was more than one person with a little ice to dump on the players… ;D
It’s not a good memory for Billy because they came to UD nationally ranked and lost. Both teams were ranked for that matter.
I hate playing the “been there, down that” card. But seriously, I gave it a shot for a while. Maybe 10 years. Definitely pre-satellite radio. But he always reverted back. He will give us a decent amount of coverage when we’re good. But when we are not, we are completely off of the map.
But I won’t try to discourage you from calling in or listening. I agree that in any small amount that he might talk about us it is good. I’m just tired of his shtick in general, whether it involves the Niners or not.
I heard the call call in and would have been a little happier about the story if Billy simply knew our coaches NAME.
Sometimes you take what you can get.

I was behind our bench and near the tunnel and I can assure you that the Cincy players were doused with far more than ice. I would say that Packer’s account is pretty accurate. Once all the basketballs were hurled at us, it was a free for all with Niner students tossing all sorts of crap as they were going to the locker room. But yes, it was definitely started with an isolated ice throw and then Cincy took it to a whole new level.

Exactly. Maybe after the bballs were thrown-----I was right in that corner as well, beside the visitors tunnel.

MAKING IT RAIN 49er STYLE. BRING EM OUT,BRING EM OUT! ;D
I believe packer Played for State originally and transferred to Wake, did he not?
I could be thinking of Bones Mckinney, who coached at Wake after playing for UNC CH and NC State
Nope, just WFU.
