Back when we were happily in the market for a new football coach (at long last for me, as I was maybe the very first person off the Amato train – having told several people after the Maryland game during PR’s senior year that the Amato experiment was going to end very badly), I got […]
NC State/FSU Live Blogging
I already spilled lots of virtual ink explaining how important I believe this game is. Rather than re-hash it, let’s just say I’m eager to see if we can finally have a signature win to be proud of. It’s ours for the taking tonight. Now, TAKE it, damn it! UPDATE – Consider it taken!!!!!!!!!!
Now or Never for TOB
A rampant problem in sports journalism is oversimplification. Despite that acknowledgement, I’m going to keep this very, very simple: This is Tom O’Brien’s “shit or get off the pot” moment. No, I’m not saying that he should be fired if he loses to Florida State. Nor am I saying this season will become a disaster. […]
Embarrassment vs. Missed Opportunity
As I mentioned in the (accidentally unfeatured, stupid outdated Blackberry of mine) game thread, this afternoon’s game was a prime example of why playing the Pie-rats on the road in the middle of the season (thanks, Lee!) is a bad idea. State was unexpectedly having a good season. So it became even more of a […]
ECTC Open Game Thread
I may live blog just a little bit, but my daughter has a soccer game at 1:00. Have at it in the comments. 4:45pm Update: Evidently, this thread was below the fold all day and wasn’t sent the top as it should have been. So, only our more rabid readers found it. Our meltdown is […]
Boston College Open Game Thread
My apologies, I promised to put up the open thread, then forgot. I had to be up at 7 to shuttle kids around, so I’m uber-scatterbrained. In any event, I was going to say that a loss would effectively end NC State’s season. Fortunately, the beatdown BC has so richly deserved since Tom O’Brien left […]
State/VT Live Blogging
Oh, you had best believe there will be a live blog today. I already mowed the grass and watched my kid’s soccer game, so that’s enough fresh air and sunshine for one day. Just me, the TV, perhaps a few libations, and all of you good people reading our humble blog. I’m not going to […]
GT Game / Potential Semi-Live Blog
We have company this morning, so I don’t know when I will post updates, or how often. Clearly, this is the biggest game of Tom O’Brien’s tenure. A win here could catapault NC State into legitimate contention for the Atlantic Division crown, along with Top 25 honors. A loss, and it’s TOB’s fourth consecutive 0-1 […]
State/Cincy Live Blogging
A Thursday night game on short rest, many questions to be answered. Will Overgaard and/or Mattes return, and shore up a questionable (to date) offensive line? Will Audie Cole continue his best Nate Irving impression? Will Nate Irving continue his best Audie Cole impersonation? Will that new HBO series about Atlantic City (starring the fantastically […]
Central Florida Live Blogging
As we told you earlier today, this game is huge for our future. The opportunity cost of failure is immense. No excuses – if Tom O’Brien is going to succeed as NC State’s head football coach, he must have a successful 2010 season. If we are to have a successful 2010 season, we must beat […]
