ACC To Get Sun Bowl Tie-In? (Update: Deal Approved)
More changes may be afoot for the ACC’s bowl imprint. Sun Bowl and CBS officials will decide today whether to retain an association with the Big East or switch to the Atlantic Coast Conference.

NC State – North Carolina picked as a top ‘rivalry’ for 2009
First, I detest the inappropriate use of the term ‘rivalry’ used to describe a short term time horizon such as a single season. No matter how long they play football on this earth the Florida State – Wake Forest game will never be a ‘rivalry’. Could they really not have found a better term to […]

Audie Cole Gets Front Page Treatment
Ken Tysiac has a nice writeup this morning: It’s no secret that N.C. State was most effective late last season when a healthy Irving and defensive end Willie Young rushed the quarterback from opposite sides. Opponents had to slide their protection toward one of those players. If N.C. State schemed correctly, that meant a running […]
Cheap Seats Football Retrospective: Part V, 2009
