Obviously, much much more to come on this breaking story: UNC is under NCAA investigation for its football program. While not much regarding the substance of this investigation has yet come to light, for some time, murmurs have surrounded the Carolina football program and the practices of some of its coaches. Apparently, these are not […]
College Football
Looking ahead: 2010 Defensive Line
I don’t know about anyone else, but I’m ready to talk football. The basketball hype has gotten to be a little much and there isn’t a lot more to say about Debbie Yow, at least not yet. During the next few weeks leading up to Sept. 4 we’ll be taking a closer look at the […]
It’s a trap!
Things have been pretty serious around here for a while…and, we don’t want to run the risk of “Yow Fatigue”. So, I wanted to hit the blog tonight with some summer comic relief. If you haven’t followed the death of Colonel Reb at Ole Miss, then you most definitely have missed the movement to replace […]
So wait, is Russell Wilson coming back?
I understand Russell Wilson’s decision on how to proceed with his future is hugely important to the 2010 football team, but this has almost gotten laughable. How many times — and ways — will both Wilson and Tom O’Brien have to talk about his plans in the fall? How many different ways can they both […]
Phil Steele talks 2010 Football [6/23: Updated for NC State]
Middle of the summer…let’s keep fresh with some college football preparation. Surprise? Phil’s love affair with Georgia continues. If it doesn’t work out that way, we’d be happy to take a look at picking up Mark Richt. Raycom’s blog provides us more insight into Steele’s recently released magazine (Link) Even though the Wolfpack is rated […]
Russell Wilson reaches agreement with Rockies
Saw this first on Backing the Pack so I must give credit there. The following article, from Inside the Colorado Rockies, discusses the signing and what the next step will be for Russell. It looks like he’s going to have quite a busy summer. The key word in the entire release from the web site […]
Crime Pays Best in College Athletics
The NCAA cites USC for a loss of institutional control, and once again you’re reminded that there’s no segment of American life in which crime pays quite as well as big-time amateur athletics. Video: Dee discusses USC violations No incentive not to cheat in college athletics Everything below this line is quoted from the previously […]
ACC’s expansion plan isn’t much of a plan
“Opportunities never come to those who wait. They are captured by those who dare to attack.” This quote pretty much sums up what the ACC is doing right now with regards to expansion. A whole lot of nothing. It’s a shame too, because I definitely think the ACC has — or maybe had — the […]
NC State’s secondary needs to improve, or else
The defensive secondary was just one of the major issues the Wolfpack defense had in 2009. Without major improvement before the season opener September 4, it could be the issue in 2010. Aside from the issues facing Jarvis Byrd, the secondary is simply unproven. Even with less experience on the defensive line, the front seven […]
