Memphis coach John Calipari was set to visit North Carolina State with his staff Monday, a source close to Calipari told ESPN.com. We loved this ass-covering by Katz who was dumb enough to take what a coach said to him at face value without doing any research behind the scenes: If Calipari takes the NC […]
No News Doesn’t FEEL Like Good News (3:55 Update)
Are we just pessimistic? Our 50/50 feeling this morning is starting to slide the bad direction. We think that State has the ability to go to $2.0 million per year for Calipari despite, which is higher than Memphis’ best offer of $1.5 million to $1.7 million. We won’t spend time crunching the negative side of […]

‘Job is Cal’s if he Wants it’ – Our Take
Morning update The most popular flight in the history of Duplin County ended today with what we think is very good news. Although the Masters (Go Tim Clark) ran over on on WRAL, their digital channel has indicated that their sources say that the job is “his (Calipari) job if he wants it.” (Link to […]
Da Plane! Da Plane!

But, we refer you to our comments earlier in the afternoon: * We think that it is good news that a meeting is already scheduled. IF State and Calipari sign a deal this morning, then Calipari […]
Sunday Coaching Update – Wheels in Motion?

The concept of a morning update of news-mentions is perfectly designed for the internet and PackPride does a nice job of providing Webruns as centralized resources for Wolfpackers to gather their moring dose of information. (Sunday weburn link here.) We are all about efficiency here – if someone else […]
