Let’s look at some objective evidence to see if we can figure out why Vegas has the Heels as a 12.5 point favorite. Here are a few tables summarizing the national rankings to see how the two offenses match up against the two defenses: I first started looking at the relevant stats when one of […]

$100MM non-TD (11/19 update)
Monday, November 17th I thought about this last night and was glad to see that someone tackled the issue of the bad call by the officials at the end of the San Diego @ Pittsburgh game. Deadspin has it covered at this link. An estimated 100 million dollars was wagered worldwide on the Pittsburgh/San Diego […]
The return of K-Rob
As stated in an earlier post, NC State may choose to under-promote our alums currently making major contributions in the National Football League, but we will do our best not to ignore their contributions. Koren Robinson was re-signed this year by Seattle after a string of injuries to its receiving corps that was, well, NC […]
NC State is a 12.5 Underdog to UNC
It’s very hard to believe that UNC-CH is close to a two touchdown favorite against the Wolfpack. It’s a lot of fun going into this game with all of the sitting on Carolina’s shoulders. Additionally, it has been announced that Cameron Sexton will start for Tarheels.
WRAL: NC State 21 Wake Forest 17
I was sad to see that the N&O’s ACCNow did not do one of their usual video segments for yesterday’s Wolfpack win over Wake Forest (regardless of the fact that they can’t figure out a way to provide us code to embed videos on SFN.) WRAL continues to improve their presence on the internet and […]
…And Then You Win By A Little…
Bobby Bowden first remarked that programs that are improving first lose by a little, then they win by a little. We remarked after the near-win against Boston College that the Wolfpack was close — that they lost by a little against the Eagles, 38-31, in a game where the NC State defense could not make […]
Wake Forest Gameday – Random Thoughts and Musings
– NC State vs. Wake Forest. Has any rivalry this old ever been so friendly? Outside of that time Chris Paul punched Hodge in the nuts, I don’t remember much bad blood (and even that never spread to the fans, as every Deacon fan I knew was aghast and apologetic). – Hidden yardage will be […]
J-Co’s amazing one handed – or one headed? – catch
NC State may choose to under-promote our alums currently making major contributions in the National Football League, but we will do our best not to ignore their contributions. Jerricho Cotchery has proven that he is good for at least three or four bigtime highlights each year, and last night’s catch on national television against the […]
Wilson Stakes Claim; Wake up this weekend
A lot has been (deservedly) made of the fantastic play of NC State’s red shirt freshman quarterback, Russell Wilson. Wilson has performed better than almost anyone could have dreamed this season and has therefore promised to make the quarterback competition with freshman Mike Glennon interesting to watch in the future. (What a nice ‘problem’ to […]
