In what we hope to make an annual tradition, we once again announce our selections the same night regular season play is complete. Yes, you will notice a distinct Terrapin flavor with respect to the major awards, but if you have watched them play down the stretch, I think you’ll understand (even if you don’t […]
2009-10 ACC Hoops – A Jumbled Freaking Mess
Over the past couple of weeks, things finally settled down enough for me to watch more ACC basketball. I leave my esteemed comrade VaWolf to give you the best ACC analysis by the numbers anywhere, but here’s how I see things. First, every single ACC team is fatally flawed. Most in multiple areas. Duke is […]
BJD95’s Wolfpack Club Resignation Letter
To follow up on my late October rant, I have indeed put my money where my mouth is. Here’s my letter, with private stuff I don’t want on the internet carved out: January 19, 2010 NC State Student Aid Association PO Box 37100 Raleigh, North Carolina 27627-7100 RE: Cancellation of Wolfpack Club Membership Membership #******/Ticket […]
ACC-Big Ten Challenge Preview
As has been noted by many voices in many publications/forums – this has hardly been much of a “challenge” for the ACC. The Big Ten has always lost, and has usually been crushed. Many believe that this year will be different, and we at SFN agree. Rather than predict each game in standard format, I […]
Clemson Gameday/Live Blogging (Colliding Charlie Browns?): Haltime Update – State on pace to hold Tigers under 50 points!
As Alpha noted earlier this week, the troubled, bruised, 1-4 NC State Wolfpack is pretty much the last hurdle between Clemson and its first Atlantic Division title. The very same Wolfpack that lost at home to Duke by 3 touchdowns, then got smoked even worse by Boston College (a team that Clemson manhandled a few […]
Shocking – Lee Fowler Still Doesn’t Get It
Lodged deep within the N&O’s write-up of the upcoming Wolfpack hoops season (all WTNY, all the time, just like the buffoonish duo of Fowler and Lowe want it) is this little gem from Fowler’s always jabbering mouth: Too many times, loyalty’s a one-way street. Fans want the coach to be loyal to them, but they’re […]
Tune In, Turn On, Drop Out
The above is, of course, a famous quote by Dr. Timothy Leary. Leary was a 1960s counter-culture icon who promoted the use of LSD as somthing positive for mind and spirit. No, I’m not suggesting that you use drugs to numb yourself to the continued futility of all things regarding NC State (especially its embarrassingly […]
Pack vs. Noles – Bytes & Gameday Shitstorm Thread
I’m going to try very hard not to watch this train wreck, so don’t expect many updates. But there needed to be a place for the masochists to put their comments. For broader topics of conversation, your SFN profile also works on our message board forums that can be accessed by clicking here. So, here […]
Profiles in Competence – Michigan AD Bill Martin
You may remember a well-received Ron Wellman post from this summer. Today, we highlight another university whose athletic director knows what he’s doing – The University of Michigan and Bill Martin. Hat tip to long-time SFN commenter Noah for sending this in (although the snarky title is all mine): Bill Martin, athletic director at the […]
Boston College 52 NC State 20

We are just going to turn the The Live Blog into the post-game entry for two reasons: (1) I can’t emotionally deal with putting together a post game entry and (2) BJD’s comments in the live blog and the comments from the community […]
