We obviously re-hash and analysis Wolfpack athletics at an extremely granular level. That is the nature of our existence. Therefore, it is always nice when a succinct quote can express so much accuracy. After our game-comments last night and post-game comments here, we thought that the N&O’s blog deserved a tip-of-the-hat (TOTH) for astute comments […]

VPI Win: Everyone Contributes (Updated 2/1; 10:30am)
To my thinking, that might be the most special part of our 11 point win in Blacksburg. Here’s my breakdown: – Engin Atsur – Obvious, with clutch 3s, hustle plays, and steady leadership. – Ben McCauley – Pretty much carried the offense in the early going, made some tough rebounds, and put the dagger in […]

Castrated Turkeys Game Thread
I will admit to having a special bit of hate in my heart for the Hokies, ever since that damned Peach Bowl in the late 80s (1987?), when VT faked injuries and took a dive (drawing a phantom pass interference call) to set up the game-winning FG. Followed nicely by their kicker giving our fans […]
An Ugly Trend
Here’s a trend that has played out in College Park every year over the last several seasons: – Maryland plays a fairly good non-conference schedule; achieves a respectable won-loss record….and an impressive RPI ranking. – During the conference schedule, Maryland struggles and slowly drops down through the conference standings and onto the NCAAT bubble. – […]
Follow-Up on ACC vs PAC-10
We’ve been engaged in the conversation for quite a bit now, so you need to click on the following links to catch-up: * Earlier in the month, we opened the can of worms by highlighting a Jeff Goodman article and running this entry. * After Carolina’s pasting of Arizona this weekend we asked to hear […]
Tell Me More about the Great Pac-10
Note: We hit on some of the larger points of this conversation in this previous entry on SFN. Without TWO regulars – including National Rookie of the Year candidate, Brendan Wright – the ACC’s UNC Tarheels handed Arizona a record setting loss on the Wildcats home floor today. Carolina never trailed in the ‘tough desert’ […]
Refs Blatantly Steal Game From Clemson (Update: ACC “Handles Internally”)
SFN commentary: Just yesterday Duke Basketball Report took a shot at SFN for daring to discuss officiating in Duke games. LOL! and kiss our ass. January 26 Update: The ACC does acknowledge the mistake, but nonsensically, it appears no discipline is forthcoming. Quote from Clueless Clougherty: “At this point, as with most league officiating matters, […]
Virginia 71 NC State 58
“Just in case anyone needed a reminder, we aren’t very good this year.” ^These comments were actually shared by one of our community’s best posters (ShootingGuard) after NC State’s home loss to Boston College three and a half weeks ago. For whatever reason, they stayed in my mind and I thought that today was appropriate […]
UVA Game Thread
This won’t be a full live blogging exercise, but I may muster up the energy to update with thoughts as the game progresses. Obviously, the Pack really needs this one to keep its slim NIT hopes alive. We still have a home game against horrible Wake Forest and a road game against horrible Miami. Apart […]
