Jeff Goodman finally covers the situation in Raleigh with a short article today on ESPN: NC State coach Mark Gottfried’s tenure in Raleigh is likely coming to an end following the season, unless the Wolfpack go on a run over the next few weeks and in the ACC tournament, sources told ESPN. “He could be […]

NC State Issues Statement on WTVD Report
Found this statement to be interesting in the way that it was worded as the department isn’t putting up much of a denial around WTVD’s report that Mark Gottfried will not be back in west Raleigh next year. Instead, the department is choosing to come out strong around the part of the report that NC […]
ACC BB Update
(That photo never gets old) The week we’re going to focus on the teams clustered on the NCAAT Bubble. If you missed last night’s game in Blacksburg, you missed a good one. There wasn’t much else on so I watched to see if I had to rewrite everything that assumed a VT loss. Oh […]
Preliminary Release of NCAA Tournament Seeds
In a bizarre attempt to match the stupidity (or maybe futility) of releasing preliminary football playoff rankings, the NCAAT Selection Committee released a preliminary version of the top 16 teams (top 4 seeds) if the March Madness selection process were held today. The only way this could get any uglier, would be to release the […]
Your “Unbreak My Heart” Wake Forest Open Thread
The Pack (14-11, 3-9 ACC) travels to Winston-Salem today to take on Wake Forest (14-10, 5-7 ACC). Since the last time we lost to Wake 3 weeks ago we’ve managed to go 1-4, beating a then reeling Duke team; then falling the last four times out in succession. It’s been a difficult few weeks to […]

Gottfried Justifiably on the Hot Seat
After last season’s 5-13 conference record, the ACC media and fans of NC State were expecting this year’s team to compete in the top half of the ACC and at a minimum make the NCAA tournament. Some people(me) had even higher expectations like spending most of the season ranked in the top 25 and competing […]
Should Dennis Smith Jr shut it down?
This is a completely serious question. During the recent college football season, a few star college football players decided to skip playing in bowl games to protect their draft status. Certainly a devastating injury in your final college game could severely hurt those players that have solidifed their draft status. While other players still needing […]
ACC BB Update – One Month Left
A month from tomorrow, the ACC Tournament will tip off in Brooklyn. I’m curious how good/bad the attendance will be. But with 15 teams, it shouldn’t be hard to fill the 17,700 seat Barclay Center. I suspect that reasoning along with the desire to spread the ACC’s influence all the way up the East Coast […]
