A few weeks ago, the college sports internets were all aflame with talk of SEC expansion and what it would mean for everyone left in its wake. Just when things calmed down a bit, Texas A&M is in the news again. Whether anything is imminent with the SEC and the Aggies, it’s clear that Texas […]
Bob Orr, Colossal Jackass
The UNC football program’s public, clownish implosion has provided us with so much sweet, sweet schadenfruede that it has its own SFN category. Neat, huh? It’s almost to the point that nothing can possibly surprise me anymore. And I only say “almost” because of the surreal idiocy and chutzpah spewed by former NC Supreme Court […]
Mike Glennon Profiled in N&O
Full article here. Like Glennon and his family, I think Dana Bible’s offense is a natural fit. I am very excited to see him perform behind what I expect to be a very good offensive line. People always remember how the Hokie faithful famously didn’t much care for Sean Glennon. But, as you can see, […]
Hatters Finish Off Pack Nine, 5-3 [Updated]
Our rally in the bottom of the 9th falls short. Link to N&O. Errors and overall sloppy defensive play kill the Pack this afternoon…and with that, the season. State never seemed to recover from the marathon loss to Georgia Tech at the ACC tournament. Oh well StateFans Comments …another season and another failure to advance […]
Stetson Rallies Past Pack, 8-7
Needless to say…that doesn’t do much for the Pack Nine’s chances to advance. The N&O’s writeup is here. A wild pitch and an error lead to the winning run in the bootom of the 9th. Blech.
NC State 5 Stetson 3 [Top of the 5th]
Here’s your preview. Sadly, the article focuses on silly criticism of Avent’s calculated gamble last year (saving his best pitcher for the winners’ bracket). I thought Avent was correct then, and still do. If State couldn’t beat Stony Brook with a lesser starting pitcher, how could we expect to beat the bracket’s better teams with […]
Clemson Eliminates NC State, 6-3
The Pack Nine got the help they needed from Florida State, but couldn’t help themselves against the Tigers. Clemson drilled a 3-run homer to take a 4-3 lead in the 6th, and they never relinquished it. Had NC State defeated Georgia Tech in Thursday night’s marathon, the Clemson loss would still have eliminated the Pack. […]
Pack Nine Loses to GT in 15
Although it lacks the “must see” nature and heart-racing excitement of football and basketball, baseball has a certain charm to it. For one thing, it’s the organized team sport that more of us played as kids. So we can relate to baseball. The second is…it’s an untimed sport. When you watch long enough, you will […]
2011 ACC/Big Ten Challenge Lineup Revealed (3:30 Update)
The increasingly ludicruously-named Big Ten fields a full slate of twelve this year, so Wake gets to play. Hooray for the Deacs and Cornhuskers. NC State will make an intriguing visit to Bloomington to face host Tom Crean’s Indiana Hoosiers. An unlikely (but possible, since the game is in Raleigh) Pack victory would no doubt […]
Nate’s a Bronco!!!
 Congratulations to Nate Irving for going much higher than expected. John Fox knows defense, and apparently he liked what he saw on film. This Bronco fan is very, very pleased to have more incentive to hit the sports bar whenever the stupid f-ing lockout ends. Here’s a link to the brief article on the […]
