(For those without much of a stats background, that number comes from taking two — the number […]
Wide Right in Tallahassee
Ok, I’m calmer now (somewhat, anyway). And, thanks to The U and The Flagship (I swear, today was the first time I’ve ever in my life cheered for an opponent of Carolina’s to lose, and although I didn’t cheer for Carolina to win, it still felt dirty), Saturday in the Atlantic ends where it began: […]
Inexplicable Coaching Call = 14-13 Loss
There’s plenty of blame to go around today. But Tom O’Brien’s weak-willed, brain-dead, unfathomable, inexcusable call to PUNT on 4th and 1 from the Clemson 40, down 1 point with 3:30ish to play was hands down the stupidest thing any non-Les Miles football coach has ever done. Boy do I feel stupid for what I […]
NC State/Clemson Open Game Thread
At long last, game day is here. On a cold and rainy morning in Raleigh, it’s nice to have a road game to watch from the comfort of our living rooms. A win today keeps NC State in the driver’s seat for the Atlantic Division, and puts Tiger bowl hopes in serious jeopardy. See you […]

State will have almost its full compliment of players when it takes on Clemson Saturday afternoon. Defensive end Sylvester Crawford (knee) and defensive […]

Gametimes stuff & more football [Updated 11/2]
Hate to push this great piece of work down the blog… NC State @ Clemson, November 6th, 12:00 Noon on ACC-TV Clemson’s loss to Boston College pushed this potential ‘must see’ to somewhat of an also-ran. The Wolfpack’s visit to Death Valley is now scheduled for noon on your local Raycom affiliate. I mean “ACC […]
