I suppose I am liveblogging today because I need to exorcise some demons. I am still not over last year’s screw job in Durham. I hope the entire team – staff and players has held onto their rage as well, and lets it out on the darker blues this afternoon. See you in a bit. […]
State/Miami Game Thread
I’m too lethargic to fully live blog, but might add a few thoughts in the main body text each quarter. Hopefully there will be lively banter in the comments. This will be a good test of whether Miami might be better than generally expected, or if the Georgia Tech team Da U vanquished last week […]
Return of the Live Blog (State vs. USA)
I like typing it that way, as it sets us up in the role of the old CCCP. Hey, we are red after all. Thanks to the folks at Time Warner Cable for putting the ESPN3 feed on channel 518 so I can live blog in a way that doesn’t irritate the shit out of […]
How Do You Spell Ugly?
I dunno…but I definitely just saw it. That said, I will very gladly take the win. Looking at the big picture, we played poorly two weeks in a row. On the road, against credible D-1 opponents. To emerge from that 1-1 is a very positive outcome. That said again…NC State has tons of work to […]
Volmageddon – Why It’s So Emotionally Devastating
After a full night’s sleep…it doesn’t feel one bit better. Last night was an unmitigated disaster. The opportunity the game presented (to make a statement on the national stage) will not be repeated. Even if we win the ACC – admittedly a laughable notion right now – we will just be the new sacrificial lamb […]
Nate Irving Gets BroncoTalk “Game Ball”
As a Bronco fan that’s jubilant that the Tebow circus has left town (even for a fragile star replacement, hopefully Manning does better in blue and orange than a glue factory ready Tony Dorsett once did), I am eagerly looking forward to Fall Sundays in addition to Saturdays. Amid that excitement, I had almost forgotten […]
Honey Badger’s Pain is Amerson Island’s Gain?
I’m too lazy to embed a link right now, but all media outlets are reporting that Les Miles finally had enough of CB Tyrann Mathieu a/k/a Honey Badger’s antics – now kicked off the team for good. That’s not just good news for SEC quarterbacks. My immediate reaction has only grown stronger as the evening […]
Couldn’t Be Prouder of Coach Avent and Pack Nine
I hope you saw today’s game, because as opposed to yesterday’s sloppy snoozefest – this was sports drama at its very best. Lightning interrupted a pitcher’s duel, and Coach Avent made the classy, selfless choice and correctly pulled Carlos Rodon. You don’t play Russian Roulette with a left arm that will likely be the #1 […]
Spring Football Open Thread – Replay of game on ESPNU Sunday at noon!
I didn’t go or watch on ESPN3…but if you did, please let us know what you saw and your overall impressions. I know it brought a huge smile to my face to see RW and TOB sharing an embrace on the front page of the sports section. Just don’t ask TOB about it, though! 🙂 […]
A Season Comes to an End
It still doesn’t seem quite real. But indeed, Kansas held on for a 60-57 victory. Two weary fighters staggered to the finish line, with State landing a nice flurry of punches in the 11th round. Alas, there was nothing left for #12…and Kansas remained upright, winning on points. I’m not angry, and I’m fully satisfied […]
