4:20pm: Wow, are we ever flat early. Fortunately, Wake isn’t any good, and thus only up two. 4:22: Repeat after me – don’t let Justin Gray beat you. Nobody else is capable of doing so (yes, that includes Eric Williams). And is it just me, or does it seem like weeks since Ilian Evtimov scored […]
Open Thread – Duke Post-Game
I don’t have much blogging energy right now, but please share your thoughts in comments. In short, I thought it was a magnificent game plan to stick it to Duke inside. We damned near pulled it off. Play like that the rest of the way, and we don’t lose again until POSSIBLY the ACC finals. […]
Kiper Predicts Mario to Green Bay
NFL draft guru Mel Kiper, Jr. (as related by ESPN Radio’s Erik Kuselias) apparently is sold on Mario Williams. In his first mock draft including declared underclassmen, Mel predicts he’ll be snatched up by the Packers with the 5th overall pick. Williams would be the first defensive player selected. Kuselias also likes Williams – let’s […]
The Ultimate Media Conundrum
You know, it’s too bad the New England Patriots and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish can’t play each other. It would be fun to watch the TV foofs’ heads explode trying to decide who to cheer for. I’ve come to expect poor quality, unprofessional work from Phil Simms. But the nonstop Patriot ass-kissing from Jim […]
What to Watch For This Weekend
First off, obviously, is NC State hosting Georgia Tech at noon on Saturday. Records don’t mean everything in this one, as the Bees are perhaps the worst 2-0 ACC team in recent history. Plus, Sendek has owned Paul Hewitt (especially at home), even during some otherwise turbulent times. Expect this one to get ugly early, […]
National Title Game
All I can say is – Pete Carroll made the right call going for it on 4th down. His defense was never going to stop Vince Young when he had 4 downs to work with (even a moron like Mack Brown would have to call the QB draw at least 1 time out of 3, […]
NFL Viewing Alert – Rivers is Playing
Drew Brees injured his thumb, and is not expected to return. Philip Rivers will finish the game for the Chargers, now showing on CBS. I’m still rooting for my Broncos to pitch the shutout, though.
Brief Bowl Recap
I am certain we’ll get a more in depth, “on the ground” recap from Jeff and/or other SFN bloggers shortly. But here is the thumbnail review from someone who just watched on TV (and based on the stadium shots ESPN showed, there were quite a few people who chose the same route that I did). […]
A Job Well Done
Other than the snarled traffic on Edwards Mill Road, it was a very good night at the RBC Center. It’s been a very long time since a Wolfpack revenue sports team earned a standing ovation from the home crowd – but that particular drought ended tonight. Herb Sendek’s cool, composed squad disposed of a solid […]
Pack Holds on in Tuscaloosa
It’s pretty hard to summarize tonight’s 68-64 win over Alabama. It was a strange game, with the Pack not getting to the free throw line at all in the first 39:40 of action. Obviously, that will have to change if NC State is to have a truly successful year. But the team played with a […]
