ICYMI - I caught up with Dell Curry before the Hornets retire his No.30 jersey tonight. Such a great guy - so deserving of this honor! 🐝

The Kennedy Center was named after my uncle, President John F Kennedy. It was named in his honor. He was a man who was interested in the arts, interested in culture, interested in education, language, history. He brought the arts into the White House, and he and my Aunt Jackie amplified the arts, celebrated the arts, stood up for the arts and artists.
It is beyond comprehension that this sitting president has sought to rename this great memorial dedicated to President Kennedy. It is beyond wild that he would think adding his name in front of President Kennedy’s name is acceptable. It is not.
Next thing perhaps he will want to rename JFK Airport, rename the Lincoln Memorial, the Trump Lincoln Memorial. The Trump Jefferson Memorial. The Trump Smithsonian. The list goes on.
Can we not see what is happening here? C’mon, my fellow Americans! Wake up! This is not dignified. This is not funny. This is way beneath the stature of the job. It’s downright weird. It’s obsessive in a weird way. Just when you think somone can’t stoop any lower, down they go…

@hollyrpeete Holly, you probably won’t remember me but I was your mic/sound guy on the field many years ago when you sang the national anthem in Charlotte.

@PackTimPeeler @Hoophall @NCState I didn’t know that answer when you asked it today, but I suspected Case was one of them. I liked that he wanted to be the third!

#WillWade is NC State's third basketball coach since the end of WWII who did not play college basketball.
The other two, Everett Case and Kay Yow, are both in @Hoophall. Good luck to @NCState's newest coach.

@TheWolfpacker @PackTimPeeler Tim, your story reminded me that as a young lad I purchased “stock” in Lobo III, a few years later.

NC State's mascot was lost. UNC's ram was injured.
And at the end of the game, Wolfpack fans tore down the goalposts in Chapel Hill.

Hopefully @netflix works out these kinks in the next month. All I want for Christmas is my NFL not to have the spinny wheel of death all game

@PackTimPeeler @NCState I was fortunate enough to go backstage after two of them in early 70’s and meet Andre Previn who conducted London Symphony and Eugene Ormandy, Philadelphia Orchestra. At the time I probably didn’t truly appreciate it!
English

@PackTimPeeler @NCState Thanks for this. I remember attending many of those FOTC events in the early 70’s, which I believe helped inspire my career choice. And of course, many basketball games!

I've always contended @NCState's Reynolds Coliseum is the most important venue ever built by the state of North Carolina, not just as a home for basketball and other athletics, but as an important multipurpose facility.
In honor of the old barn's 75th birthday on Dec. 2, I put together a few stories and lists in support of that contention.
