Ah, what a joyous day it is. Our old friend the National Football League is back in town, with a terrific opening night matchup (New Orleans at Indy). Everyone will be talking about Reggie Bush going in, but I have a feeling that Joseph Addai will be the real difference maker. The Panthers open in […]

Wednesday Traveling – TOB’s Return
I’m traveling today. We’ve been very active posting entries on the site over the last week, so please take some time today to scan through all of the entries & conversations that you may have not have had time for. I think the conversations being had here recently have been very insightful. Real quick — […]
850 The Buzz on Saturday in the Triangle
850 The Buzz’s Blog has posted a fascinatingly insightful entry that definitely deserves attention. (Link to entry) Excerpt – O’Brien made a point in his press conference to illustrate how the whole game was a microcosm of how practice went leading up to the season opener. Tanking is a strong way to describe what happened […]
It could be worse
As bad as football may feel right now to you, realize that it is isn’t this bad in Raleigh. Regardless of App State’s big win in Ann Arbor…the Mountaineers can never hide from their recruitment video that ranks as one of the all-time best!
TOB: Pack’s Overconfidence
On the teams overconfidence: “The first thing they have to recognize is that they aren’t as good as they think they are. A lot of these guys have an over-inflated image of who and what they are.” ACCNow has audio and a blog entry titled, “Pack’s overconfidence irks O’Brien”

Toney Baker Out For Season With Knee Injury
It gets worse. NC State has now lost our two best offensive players for the season. Toney Baker has injured his knee and is out for the entire season after All-ACC tight end Anthony Hill injured his knee before the season began. Presuming that Harrison Beck replaces Daniel Evans at quarterback on Saturday, the eleven […]
Remember the Mission
The nice thing about a new season (especially with a new coaching regime) is the fresh hope it brings. Everybody starts 0-0, and almost every opponent has some question marks. Unfortunately, the Pack stands at 0-1, and the short-term prospects aren’t good. After all, if UCF had so much as a competent QB, they would […]
