I doubt many of you need explanation, but I’ll throw it out there anyway. I’m not sure there has been a bigger game in Chuck Amato’s career at NC State. It certainly has the feel of a major turning point, one way or the other. What a win would mean: A 2-0 start in the […]
’06 Football
FSU Day
NC State tries to do it again tonight against an inconsistent Florida State squad. NC State is one of only two ACC schools to post more than two victories over the Seminoles since they joined the conference and the only school to defeat them four times. Chuck Amato holds a 3-3 mark against his former […]

The Meaning of Sublime
I took a course in Romantic poetry last year. It consisted basically of listening to three separate professors prattle on about Keats & Company’s quest for the (capital S) Sublime. I didn’t get it. But Saturday night, when I watched my brother complete a 34-yard dream of a pass with 8.5 seconds left in the […]
Good Job by NCAA
It’s pretty rare that anyone has much good to say about the NCAA, so I want to break the trend….Whoever is in charge of putting the stats from football games on the web does a bang-up job. The team pages are extremely well organized with more numbers right at your fingertips than you will see […]
NC State Makes Deadspin…
…thanks to our student section’s in-game pissing. Huzzah!
