(Photo from N&O after the Miami game) Wouldn’t you know the week after I ridicule people that bet on college sports, I see a betting line that I would like to put a C-note on. According to the yahoo sports app, Syracuse was a two point favorite on the road against GT last night. So […]

Your “Closing Ranks” Notre Dame Open Thread
OK folks. It was leaked. It was confirmed. Change is coming, but not until after the season. Oh, and you can go ahead and plan on hearing this sort of stuff for the next several months at least (years if we whiff on the hire)…. So congrats, NC State fans. You got what you wanted. […]
Gottfried Fired (Officially)
NC State formally announces that Mark Gottfried will not be back after coaching out the season pic.twitter.com/rk18cElQGK — Mark Armstrong (@ArmstrongABC11) February 16, 2017 As much as I do enjoy a good firing, the fact Gottfried will finish the season — I’ll let y’all speculate why — gives me no confidence our current leadership has […]
Your “Show of Hands…Who’s Still Here?” U*NC Game Thread
In spite of a boatload of distractions over the past several days (none of which I plan to talk about in this entry, because there are plenty of other places where those things are being discussed), the reeling Pack (14-12, 3-10 ACC) welcomes their non-rivals to the PNC tonight. Carolina (21-5, 9-3 ACC) is coming […]
Gottfried Could Be Gone This Week(ESPN)
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 […]
