OK, so the trip to Louisville wasn’t quite as fun as the trip to Durham. Meh…..It happens. Why did it happen this time? You saw it, what do you think? Effort, energy missing in NC State’s latest ‘lifeless’ ACC loss (NewsObserver.com) LOUISVILLE, Ky. There’s never a good time to question your team’s effort. It’s not […]
To be honest, not every team has played nine games, but most (including State) have and that’s close enough for me. This entry will be a little longer than normal while we discuss the things around the ACC that I find interesting and I’ll spend a little more time dissecting State’s schedule and performance than […]
That was fun. Really, really fun. Like seriously, winning is fun. Let’s do it some more. – Dennis Smith, Jr. Dude is sick. Really sad he’s not gonna be around next year. – Still Work To Be Done Yeah, the Duke win was great and all. But we dug ourselves a pretty big hole leading […]

(Mandatory Credit: Rob Kinnan-USA TODAY Sports) I think I’ll take a minute to back up and discuss the classifications of “IN”, “BUBBLE”, and “OUT” that I give to each team in the ACC on a weekly basis. Obviously there are no NCAAT bids extended in January or February. So my classification of “IN” is supposed […]
Wow. That was ugly, huh? I mean, I expected us to look overmatched in Chapel Hill. But just….WOW. The Pack (12-4, 1-2 ACC) kinda took it on the chin this past weekend. Of course, with the game delay due to the winter storm, one of the themes during the game was “NC State wanted to […]
The photo came from N&O last week with no specific photographer being credited. Obviously I didn’t look for a photo from Sunday’s game.
