    Reminds me of Da Meat Hook from our 94 run. Love that guy and State kind of reminds me as a team of those guys under Kruger. Role guys who love each other and love the game.

    A lot of similarities between this State team and the Valvano team that won it all.

    I was yelling at the tv on my porch, another left handed soft shot by the DaMeat hook! My daughter graduated from the design school at NC State. They did look like they were fighting, clawing and just having fun at Duke expense, wonderful.

    My daughter said most of the fans call Burns, the big guy, “Smooth Operator”.. LOL
    His soft left handed shot is net, almost everytime.
    always a big smile on his face. I imagine if someone put an elbow on his head, they wouldn’t be playing ever again. LOL
    They list him at 6’9” and 275. Probably closer to 300. He is a senior. Originally from Rock Hill SC.

    Would love to see him battle it out with the big guy from Colorado.

    Was walking by himself off of Six Forks Rd at North Hills in Raleigh today.

    People were beeping at him, traffic slowed and cars were stopped.

    Man's an icon now.
