For most dyed in the wool Wolfpackers, it’s as much a basic truth of life as is eating and breathing. We generally hate Carolina. If Carolina NEVER won another athletic contest EVER again in ANYTHING….it would still be too soon. So why then has it been so damned quiet around here so far this week??? […]
Big Four Rivals
ESPN: The Eroding of “The Carolina Way”
Now it isn’t what you think, this isn’t a shocking article. It is more of a summary of the scandal and how “The Carolina Way” is not what it originally set out to be. “When I got back, it was associated with victory, and the thought that we were winning both in the fields and […]
Giglio: NC State gives UNC the silent treatment
I couldn’t help but giggle a bit as I read this piece from the Observers’ Joe Giglio (bold added by me)… NC State gives UNC the silent treatment (CharlotteObserver.com) RALEIGH As far as N.C. State is concerned, North Carolina’s Eric Ebron can tweet or talk all he wants. UNC’s star tight end will have to […]
Best Wishes To Sylvia Hatchell For a Speedy Recovery
Rivalries are all fun and games, but there’s a point where rivalries end and simple human decency remains. When a coach or player of any sport at any school is facing a deadly disease or serious injury, that obviously is that point, and in that spirit, we’d like to wish UNC Women’s Basketball Coach Sylvia […]
Pack vs. Deacs – Raging Semi-Live Blog
This week, we have an interesting matchup (bad league foe on the road is a good acid test for a team likely to be on the bowl qualification fence), combined with a dearth of channel flipping options. Thus, you good people get to suffer through at least sort of a live blogging. The early slate […]
#GameDay – State @ Wake
All you need to do is scroll through the last 20 entries we’ve posted on SFN to get all of the (depressing) State @ Wake trends and history that you may need, like a recap of the last 10 years. Let’s just hope this year is like last year when State’s defense dominated the Deacons. […]
NCSU vs. Wake Forest: The Past 10 Years
As I was finishing up this entry, I noticed that LRM had just put an entry up that talked about the house of horrors known as Groves Stadium. This article discusses the last ten years between State and Wake, and that house of horrors. This Saturday, Dave Doeren’s first Wolfpack team leaves the friendly confines […]
Into the Abyss: Winston-Salem, NC.
Look, it’s simply impossible to over-exaggerate just how much a House of Horrors Groves Stadium BB&T Field has been for N.C. State. Every odd year folks start throwing around the “no way we lose to Wake Forest this year.” But every odd year we go to the abyss called Winston-Salem and play impossibly dreadful, and […]
PJ Hairston Suspended Indefinitely After New Driving Charges
UPDATE: WRAL is reporting that PJ Hairston has been suspended “indefinitely” by Roy Williams: Steve Kirschner, a spokesman for the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s Athletics Department, issued a statement late Sunday saying men’s basketball coach Roy Williams has suspended Hairston, who averaged 14.6 points in 34 games last season, from the team […]
N&O’s DeCock Gets Main Point Right, Key Subpoints Wrong
I was gladdened to read the unfortunately named Luke DeCock’s piece in this morning’s paper. Without question, the Hole faculty’s silence is cowardly and indefensible. As I have noted previously, the only true “rogue” in Chapel Hill is history professor Jay Smith. He’s the only person there who gives a damn, apparently. He’s certainly the […]
