Sometimes it is dangerous to call an active college player a lock-in for legend status, but in the case of Russell Wilson, it’s an easy call. Wilson is exactly what a college student-athlete should be: an accomplished and successful college student who’s earned a degree and a talented and successful athlete on the field as […]
Quick and Dirty Look at Saturday’s NCSU-ECU Game
It’s a wierd time of year to play an out-of-conference game against a non-BCS opponent, but that’s the task in front of the Wolfpack: in the middle of their ACC schedule, NC State will take a quick drive to Greenville to play Conference USA’s ECU before finishing up the season with five straight ACC games, […]
UNC May Need to Fire Everyone All The Way To The Top
If there’s one jaw-dropping aspect of the UNC scandal, it is not that the Tar Heels would resort to cheating to try to build a football program, instead, it is the seemingly complete lack of recognition by the ostensible adults that run the university what is happening before their eyes. Either the people in charge […]
The Endgame Draws Near For Butch Davis
Butch Davis’s days as UNC football head coach are numbered. Mark it down, it is only a matter of time now before he resigns, or failing that, is dismissed for-cause. Not that it takes an NC State education or a job at NASA to figure that out. Most of us figure out that 2+2=4 when […]
Incoming NCAA President Plans Aggressive Enforcement

Clemson Student Newspaper Weighs in On UNC Scandal
Brett Mills of Clemson’s Tiger News weighed in recently with an opinion piece on the ongoing NCAA investigation inquiry at UNC. Mills makes some excellent, salient points that are well worth reading and your consideration. While this may come as a huge surprise to our local sports radio contingent, NC State and its fans are […]
EDSBS Translates Coachspeak for Tech’s Paul Johnson
In his weekly interview with reporters prior to the upcoming NC State game, Paul Johnson was busily speaking in his native tongue of “coach-speak.” No problem with that, of course, pretty much every coach does, as well as most every player who’s used to having a reporter’s microphone stuck in his face. Coach-speak can be […]

Jeff Sagarin has predicted NC State to finish 9-3 in the regular season and to come in second place in the ACC’s Atlantic Division in his weekly college football rankings.
