Lame

Written by S. Beaumont and filed under Editorial, Sports 

This is lame.

Due to budgetary restraints this year, the Technician was unable to print this year’s edition of the Daily Tar Hell — the annual spoof edition of UNC’s student newspaper. The edition historically came out on the day N.C. State’s men’s basketball team faces the Tar Heels in Raleigh.I know many of you have come to expect the Daily Tar Hell each year, and we apologize for not being able to run it. It’s an edition that we enjoy producing and something we look forward to each year.

Any thoughts on us not printing the edition this year are welcome as always. We are grateful for your continued support and interest in our newspaper.

I’d love to know what took financial precedence. Considering that to many (myself included) this was the best issue of the year, it seems that priorities are misaligned. And why not at least put out a digital copy? I wish I had known sooner–I definitely would have tried and picked up the slack.

Tip-off is at 7 and the game will be televised on ESPN.

    This administration has successfully ruined athletics at NCSU. There is no passion anymore. All we can muster is some backhanded attempt at vandalism that fails miserably.

    you go to express your dominance (really the intention right?) over another place and all you can do is throw a cup, A CUP, of Red paint on the thing? WTF, I’ve urinated more than a cup on that thing. If you’re gonna do it, do it right! Shameful.

    The students barely care about this rivalry or sports at NCSU anymore because the administration has successfully taken any ‘risk’ out of any event and thereby reducing it to nothing more than pedestrian. Makes me sick.

    What utter BS. They couldn’t fake a cover to the Daily Tarhole? This is pathetic. It never happened during my time at the Technician. No matter how much fighting their was in the office - we united for this spoof.

    Still remember the night my roomie posed nude at the Old Well for the paper. Today’s NC State student is a beaten wuss.
