J.R. SWEEZY, Defensive Tackle: Mooresville, N.C., Mooresville HS CAPTAIN Sport management. J.R. went all out and left nothing on the table. Originally recruited as a LB, he moved to DE before coming into his own as a playmaking DT. When big plays are made, #52 is in the mix. GEORGE BRYAN, Tight End: Castle Hayne, […]
Perfect timing! Pack baseball!
For all those who love to get out and get you some NC State sports in person, here’s the spot this weekend. It will hopefully afford anyone a chance to relax, take in some good competition and escape from the drama that hangs over the two big brothers of revenue sports. There is some real […]
Let’s Play Two!
Say Hey, Baseball has gotten underway. Check it out here if you haven’t made the trip to the Doak already. It’s a double-dip and it started around high noon. Did I mention that it’s against the pesky Mountain folk of Boone (they probably like these thick, peat smellin’, dreary days being from the highlands and […]
Simple Men Looking for Candidate of Change!
With the biggest sporting event NC State hosts all year upon us (sorry TOB, it’s still the ACC), I’d like to maximize the volume of on-lookers by making an announcement now. Imagine some random guy passing out leaflets to pedestrians in Times Square (UNX @ State in RBC arena) versus the opportunity I had last […]
“Now I know why Tigers eat their Young”

In that time he has studied with them, rested them up, and dealt with the season ending announcement of stand out T.J. Carter following preseason surgery and a lengthy recovery […]
Is Gavin Grant the Next MJ?
With the first two test of playing on the road in a hostile environment done, Sidney Lowe brings his team back to the more comfy confines of Reynolds. Saturday night will be the one and done opportunity for the Wolfpack to play in the storied building. The tip off is at seven and the opponent is Savannah State (5-6).Is
A Date with Coach of X’s and O’s Past
The Arkansas Razorbacks not only gave West Virginia their first loss, they handed Mountaineer head coach John Beilein an early Christmas present. You knew when Popeye got a grip on a can of Spinach that he would be snapping things back together to ship shape in a hurry. That’s no canned spinach in Beilein’s hand,
ACC Opening Act (Updated)
When Sidney Lowe and Dave Leitao meet before the game tomorrow, one could argue that both men could feel like they are greeting themselves in another place in time. It’s not the twilight zone, just another ACC basketball opener.
