It’s time for our last look at RPI Rankings as we assess where the ACC teams fit with respect to the Bubble. Usually, we discuss what various teams need to do in order to clear the bubble and make the NCAAT. This year is dramatically different in that seven teams are rated by nearly everyone […]
It’s the anniversary of Jimmy V’s famous ESPY speech. Will never forget watching it live before going out and then sitting in Spike’s when the late night reply was aired. After all of that drinking the tears were FLOWING from every person in the place. Twenty-three years ago tonight, Jim Valvano gave us a message […]
Since the ACC’s only Thursday night game is going as expected, it seems safe enough to use Thursday morning’s RPI data for our weekly update: It’s interesting to note that UNC has the fewest Top-50 wins among those teams rated as IN. On Monday morning, I noticed that GT had moved past Clemson on the […]
It’s that time of the season again; time for NC State to face off against our rival Tarheels at 8pm in PNC. Unfortunately the Tarheels have been doing well this season with a 11-3 conference record, while NC State has been extremely up and down with an average 14-13 overall record and 4-10 CC record. Although NC […]
Pack is desperately(?) looking to start a positive trend as they push toward the end of the ’15-’16. Clemson is surprisingly(?) within striking distance of an ACCT #1 seed. Who wants it more? We’ll find out. Talk about it…. –

So it’s that time of year again. Yep, I know it’s probably snuck up on most of you seeing how it’s still all wintry and stuff, but in only a couple of days the Pack9 kicks off the 2016 season. And 2016 has the potential to be a pretty darned good year for baseball in […]
7pm, ESPN. Can Friends O’ the Cat pick up enough slack to escape Charlottesville with an icy upset? Talk about it…. –
h/t newsobserver.com and Ethan Hyman After NC State’s 99-88 victory over Big 4 Rival Wake Forest on Saturday, Wolfpack fans all over were talking about the continued incredible play of Cat Barber. Barber had 38 points, 5 rebounds, and 3 assists against the Deacons in leading the team to its third conference victory of the […]
Don’t have a lot of time right now…so, want to share this as quickly as we could. Link As I skim the article, the first thing I note that the UNC PR machine was successful in repositioning ‘facts’ with what is supposed to be the “paper of record”. Take the following quotes for example: The […]
