Rank the ACC Hot Seats
Remember when all the football coaches in the ACC were hot commodities? Seems like a million years ago. Anyway, more than half of the ACC’s 12 head coaches face varying levels of grumbling. How do you rank them? Here’s my list, from hottest seat to (relatively) coolest: Coker, Groh, Bunting, Amato, Friedgen, Gailey, Roof.
Poor Decisions Killing the Pack
“Poor decisions Killing the Pack” Does that sound familiar? Sure it sounds familiar to NC State football fans who have followed the Wolfpack in the 6+ years of the Chuck Amato era. Excessive penalties and turnovers indicated an extreme lack of discipline that helped wrecked the Wolpack’s most recent two football seasons. Even the Philip […]
Halftime Blog: USM 13 NC State 10 (Updated)
* Southern Miss completely controlled the first quarter of play in a game that looks a lot like what you have seen from the last 7 or 8 Wolfpack games. * Heading into the last 3 minutes of the first half, State had run 18 total offensive plays from scrimmage; USM had run 36 plays. […]
LSU Schedules NC State in Football in 2017 & 2020
AUBURN, Ala. – LSU has finalized a pair of home-and-home non-conference series, scheduling Colorado in 2011 and 2012 and North Carolina State in 2017 and 2020.
Paper: Little love lost for Chuck Amato
An interesting article in the Charleston newspaper this morning: CLEMSON – Normally, cheering in press boxes is strictly forbidden. Apparently there’s an exception when North Carolina State loses to Akron. When the Zips’ 20-17 victory over the Wolfpack was complete Saturday, a few scribes covering Clemson’s game at Boston College expressed their joy with whoops, […]
Week 3 – TV Schedule
No need to rehash this as the best college football-viewing weekend of the season. Everyone already knows that. You know the games, and if you don’t, just take a look at this week’s schedule. The LSU/Auburn game is the biggest on my TV, the SEC West, the SEC overall, and yes; it’s the biggest game […]
Poll – Week 3
We’ll pass on the disclaimer this time; enough has been said with the previous polls. One media note to ponder. Will Disney/ABC/ESPN’s new night game covered by Kirk Herbstreit, have any effect on college football coverage and as a result the polls? In years past, Game Day would head to the best game of the […]
Updated: Amato’s Remarks Go National
Perhaps this will stretch out into a three day story. In any event, we check in at #5 in ESPN.com’s “Bottom 10”. I must admit that the logo (wolf wearing gaudy sunglasses) is pretty clever. Think that is bad? Try this one on for size. Fresno State head coach Pat Hill ripped into Amato yesterday. […]
CTC: “We Look Like Shit out There”
What a day yesterday! An awful lot of NC State ‘stuff’ to discuss. Please don’t hesitate to scroll down a bit and do some catch-up reading. We’re not going to reveal any sources for this entry, but SFN has been lucky to develop a relationship with someone very close to the football program who has […]
